LDT “Jelly Roll to Open 100-Acre Free Recovery Campus in Tennessee, Turning His Past into Purpose”
Country star and philanthropist Jelly Roll (Jason DeFord) is transforming his success into something far deeper than fame. The artist, once caught in cycles of addiction and incarceration, has announced a bold plan to build a 100-acre rehabilitation and mental health center on his own Tennessee property — and it will be completely free for those in need.
From Struggle to Service
Jelly Roll has often been candid about his past — from his time in jail to his battles with addiction. Now, he’s channeling those experiences into something transformative. In a recent video shared with fans, he described the future center as a place where “people who’ve hit rock bottom” can find resources, recovery, and purpose. His goal, he said, is to create the kind of support system he wishes he’d had when he needed help most.
Inside the Vision
According to the artist, the planned facility will combine traditional recovery methods with creative and holistic approaches. It will feature:
- A 28-day rehabilitation program focused on addiction recovery and personal growth.
- Therapy and mental health support, including group and individual sessions.
- Community-based experiences, where guests and volunteers can participate in outdoor and creative activities designed to rebuild confidence and connection.
- Free access to all participants, ensuring that finances are never a barrier to getting help.
Building a Legacy Beyond Music
This initiative isn’t just another celebrity charity project — it’s deeply personal. For Jelly Roll, it’s about redemption, service, and giving others a second chance. Fans across social media have called the project his “greatest legacy,” saying it perfectly reflects the empathy and honesty that define his music.
What’s Next
Construction details are still being finalized, but the singer has said development will begin soon. When completed, the 100-acre site is expected to serve as both a treatment facility and a retreat, blending recovery with creativity and community engagement.
If successful, Jelly Roll’s “Field of Grace” could become a model for how artists use their platforms — not to build more wealth, but to build hope.
