When five women in the Topeka Correctional Facility wrote to singer/songwriter Melissa Etheridge describing their lives before and during their incarceration, they never imagined they’d be muses for her.

Melissa talks with me about how her performance inspired change at the Topeka facility, how her family’s love held her together in the wake of her son Beckett’s death, and how sometimes a deadline is the greatest form of artistic inspiration.
