A – The AND program doesn’t work. The reason it doesn’t is because the women are not sent away first for drug rehab. Most are not able to go away for rehab cause they have children. And can not leave them.

In order for a program like AND to work is remove the women from easy access to the drug they are hooked on.

But then again, the police could start enforcing the drug laws in the city and that would help the problem.

These are the same people everyone is always complaining about working their corners etc, but now it seems that putting their pictures up is not right? I am confused by the double standard here.

And NRN and the RTD and PD all post pictures of those committing crimes… the newsletter has the 5 most wanted etc …

There is a program that these woman can enter now that they have been arrested. It’s called AND (a new direction) where they will receive drug treatment if needed and job training. I hate that these women are treated differently as if they aren’t already paying a higher personal price than other criminals. I hope they get the help they need. As far a the Johns go I would love some type of public posting.

I’ve seen her there as well. My question was more about the way sex workers are demonized above other folks who are also arrested.

Why run the photos at all? Unless NRN is going to run photos of everyone convicted of a crime in Northside.

I realize the point is to highlight the RPD’s work on the Northside. I feel it’s always unfair to hold up sex workers as these vulgar, dirty nuisances while their clients receive very little scorn. These women deserve more kindness than they receive.
