On December 17, 2010, I was arrested for stalking the Chief of Police in my city. After making bail, I was ordered to wear a tether after my preliminary exam, after being bound over for trial. After failing to get the tether, I went to await trial in the local jail. While there, I discovered abuse, sexual assault and prostitution perpetrated by deputies. The system had been taken over by people that used prisoners for their own personal profit. I met a long list of them and learned their stories. Names have been changed to protect all parties involved, but these are tales from a place many people refuse to admit exists or want to forget all together, but I was there, and it does exist, and these people are real.There are an estimated one million people arrested in America for prostitution. Seventy percent of those people are women. A projected 3.5 million young women will graduate high school this year. How many of those young women will become prostitutes is unknown, but if preyed on by the very people who are supposed to "protect and serve" them it could become damaging to society. To earmark a specific group as hopeless, leaves hope and faith little chance to heal a broken society. Everyone in this world should have a chance. I believe showing them what they face if they choose the wrong path is a start. Showing them, they can win is an even better one.Lesley Stanley is now a college graduate, with a degree in Business Administration.
