You might try being a bit more specific.
A woman of (what age) in a prison (where, USA, UK, ?) for a crime (heinous, minor) and how long she will be there and something about what happens to her.

I want it to be vague now because I'm open to the co-writer changing things.

Perhaps if you could give us a hint of a plot??

Woman in jail covers a lot of territory.
She could be an alien in a human jail.
She could be half human and half cyborg imprisoned on some alien world.
Or she could be human and imprisoned for a crime she didn't commit, but thats a bit cliche.

I said REALISTIC, so that means no aliens or cyborgs.

Have you heard of the movie BOYHOOD? It came out last year and won a ton of awards. It didn't have a real "plot", it just showed the life of a boy turning into an adult. I want my story to be like that, but with a woman in prison.

What is the nature of your difficulty, for which you feel you need a collaborator?

She seems to need guidance in plot structure, character development, dialog, and general writing skills.

In other words, everything.

I get the impression that she actually wants her 'collaborator' to write the story for her.
