I'm not sure what you mean by "jam doughnuts", but we do have filled rolls that are made of doughnut dough.  They come in many different flavors, including cream filled and a variety of what we call "jelly". They are about the size of a regular doughnut, but with the middle intact. There are also different shapes, including Bismarcks, but they are still made of the same recipe... I suspect it's probably the same idea...

well when i mean jam doughnuts,i mean doughnuts with jam in em.
daveboy007 for your info the American people call jam, jelly.  Hence peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.  That must be where your confusion comes in.

ok i'll try and make it simple for you lot,,,in england we have jam doughnuts right? so do americans(regardless of wot they call em) have them too or dont they??...simple question really. to be honest i dont really care,,it was just a simple question.

dillygent for your INFO i know that they call jam jelly. my god i wish i never asked now
don't americans have ALL the doughnuts?
Yes, we do have jelly doughnuts. Jeez.
We have filled donuts as well as the ring-shaped ones.  Besides jam, they can be filled with Bavarian creme, lemon, chocolate, butterscotch...just about any flavor.  And Squdqueen is correct - there's no donut in the world better than a hot, fresh Krispy Kreme!
Some of the Tescos near us sell Krispy Kreme donuts - but not as good as the ones you get from Greggs or Andersons
Just a quick item to point out:   We Americans have jam and jelly.  They are different here.  Jelly is much more gelatinous and has less whole fruit.  Jam is less gelatinous and frequently more natural.   But we fill our donuts (because we do have 'em!) with jelly... not jam.  And for the record, jam donuts, in my experience, are WAY more delicious...
