Etheridge at ‘sing-sing’

MARYSVILLE, Ohio — A video of female inmates singing one of her songs led to Melissa Etheridge performing with the group at an Ohio prison.

The singer performed solo Wednesday for 2,300 inmates at the Ohio Reformatory for Women in Marysville.

She said she’d been moved by a video of inmates in an addiction-recovery group singing “A Little Bit of Me.” She closed with the song and invited group members to come up and sing with her.

“She really touched my heart and she really gave me a lot of hope,” said Georgia Peterman, who has six months remaining on a threeyear drug sentence.
