Johnny Cash never went to jail. Every now and then he'd get thrown in for the night to sober up or come down, but he never actually got sent to prison. In his early career, when he wrote and recorded 'Folsom Prison Blues', Sun producer Sam Philips thought the records would sell better if people actually thought Cash had written the song while behind bars. So the myth started to circulate, but it was never anything more than a myth.
The song is "Cocaine Blues."
June Carter may have been a back-up singer on the song, Give my Love to Rose. She was with Johnny Cash at the prison when he recorded the album, Live at Folsom Prison.
If you're referring to the line in Folsom Prison Blues "I shot a man in Reno, just to watch him die." It's just a song. If he killed a man he also fell into a ring of fire.
