The Lady Lifers: A moving song from women in prison for life

Title:: The Lady Lifers: A moving song from women in prison for life
Speaker:: The Lady Lifers
Description:: The nine women in this chorus have all been sentenced to life in prison. They share a moving song about their experiences — one that reveals their hopes, regrets and fears. "I'm not an angel," sings one, "but I'm not the devil." Filmed at an independent TEDx event inside Muncy State Prison, it's a rare and poignant look inside the world of people imprisoned with no hope of parole.
