Prostitution decriminalized: Rhode Island’s experiment
It's weird seeing this.  In Australia prostitution is completely legal.  There was actually a publicly listed brothel for a while.  Strange to think other societies criminalise it.I think being legal is best for the health and wellbeing of the sex workers and minimises the criminal involvement.There are brothels all over the place but mostly they are pretty low key, often hidden in backstreets or warehouse areas with only a red light and a sign to indicate they exist.I wish we had such an enlightened position on drugs, which remain almost completely criminalized, whilst other parts of the world move towards legalization of various aspects of drug law.
