I know he did prison gigs, including "At Folsom Prison". But did he ever do time? I've been told he was in for manslaughter. If so, when? Where? What were the particulars?

Even though Johnny had an outlaw image, he never served time in prison . However he did land in jail several times for minor offenses, each stay lasting a single night.He was also sued by the U.S. government for starting a forest fire.Details below

He was never convicted. He was in jail because he felt compassion for the prisoners.
"I've never been convicted of a felony. I did gain a certain notoriety back in the early '60s, for about seven years actually, when I'd find myself in a county or city jail." - johnny cash, cbs news

It is al part of the Johnny Cash myth. He just did a bunch of gigs in jail no time.
