The Grammy award-winning rapper and his choir performed songs from his gospel album"Jesus is King" on Friday as inmates waved their hands and knelt in prayer. West said his visit was"a mission, not a show," according to Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez. West performed for more than 200 male inmates before using an underground tunnel to access a separate jail to perform for a smaller crowd of women inmates, according to the Houston Chronicle.
