The Lady Lifer's chorus of Muncy State Prison is made up of women who are serving life sentences without the possibility of parole. Each woman has served 27-40 years in prison. At a TEDx event held at the prison, these women sing about the very real possibility of dying alone in prison.

75-year-old Ruth Hunter says police stormed into her home and tied her to a chair while they were attempting to apprehend her neighbor.

“I thought someone was breaking in to rob or kill me,” Hunter said.
