Hello,
Swelling of fingers is sometimes related to Methamphentamine's adverse effect. Was there any pain, irritation that you observed? As you mentioned he is in jail, so it can be during a fight that he got into there. So its better to get it checked by a doctor to see what exactly is causing this.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
