The ten 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. (Note: The prison's Office of Victim Advocacy has ensured that victims were treated fairly and respectfully around this TEDx event.)

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

A moving song from women in prison for life

Life sentences in Pennsylvania mean no parole. Only two women released since '89, highlighting a system with little hope for change.

"This Is Not Our Home" sings of life without parole's hardships, embodying the hope, fear, and longing for redemption among inmates.

Women serving life narrate personal stories, emphasizing their evolution and the pain of possibly dying in prison, away from loved ones.
