Etheridge's Docuseries Captures Emotional Prison Concert

Melissa Etheridge's new docuseries, 'I’m Not Broken,' showcases her emotional journey as she performs for female inmates at Topeka Correctional Facility in Kansas. Inspired by Johnny Cash's iconic prison concerts, Etheridge connects deeply with the inmates, many of whom struggle with issues similar to those that led to her son Beckett's death from opioid addiction. The series features Etheridge's interactions with the inmates, their shared stories of addiction, and her commitment to offering hope and healing through music. Etheridge's childhood experiences performing in prisons and her personal tragedy significantly shaped the docuseries, culminating in a live concert and a new song, 'A Burning Woman,' written for the inmates. The project has been profoundly healing for both Etheridge and the prisoners, emphasizing the transformative power of second chances and resilience.
