Title: Rethinking Arrest: Street Prostitution and Public Policy in Rhode Island

Summary: In Rhode Island, the criminalization, arrest, and incarceration of those engaging in prostitution is currently the central focus of efforts to decrease prostitution. These individuals are often poor or homeless, have substance abuse problems, are the victims of physical and sexual violence, and want to leave prostitution. OpenDoors encourages policy makers to improve the lives of those engaging in prostitution by funding outreach, job training, and diversionary programs, and by limiting jail time for prostitution-related charges.
