This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. A life sentence in Pennsylvania means exactly that. These women, all of whom have served decades in prison, sing of the very real possibility of dying alone in prison.

About TEDx, x = independently organized event In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
