Melissa Etheridge is documenting her special concert to uplift the incarcerated women at Topeka Correctional Facility in a new two-part series,, the country superstar recalls performing at prisons as a child. “When I was 12 years old, I had just played the guitar and I had been writing folk songs. It’s 1973, and we played the VA Center, which was interesting,” she revealed. “Then, we had been asked to do the show at the federal penitentiary.
”Premiering July 9 on Paramount+, the docuseries will follow Etheridge as she plans to bring happiness to the Topeka Correctional Facility after receiving letters from some of its residents. Eventually, Etheridge writes an original song in their honor and performs it for them at the facility, which is located in her hometown in Kansas. The show will also touch on how many of the residents struggle with substance abuse issues, something Etheridge has a personal connection to.
