Robert Kraft went to prison … to visit rapper Meek Mill. And during his unexpected drop-in at a Pennsylvania state penitentiary, the Patriots owner talked up the incarcerated artist and made a public push for criminal justice reform.

“He’s an amazing young man,” Kraft said of the star, known officially as Robert Rihmeek Williams, outside the State Correctional Institution-Chester. “I know how I’d feel if I were in the situation he is.

“He’s very intelligent. I’ve had the pleasure, through (76ers owner) Michael (Rubin), (of) getting to know him over the last two to three years — maybe even longer,” Kraft continued.
