    Lightbulb Have you ever been arrested? Did you do an "ATI"?

    Hi All,

    I am a long time dancer, but also do a lot of activism w/ sex workers in general. I know while not all strippers identify as "sex workers" we are often targeted for prostitution-related arrests.

    I have been working with a journalist on an article on "Alternatives to Incarceration" for prostitution arrests. These are programs that when you get arrested for prostitution related offenses you are typically given classes to go to (and probation) instead of jail time.

    If anyone has experienced these and could talk about it to a journalist it would be helpful! It is a publication based in PA, but you will be kept completely anonymous.

    Please email me at [email protected]

    Nope never been arrested. Contrary to what people may think not all strippers are prostitutes. I don't feel prostitutes should be arrested for that but it's never been an issue with me. However, I have worked at clubs where busts did happen, mostly for things like breaking rules. One club was bikini and some dancers got arrested for touching I believe but I wasn't there that night. Another night it did get raided for prostitution but I wasn't there either. Another club arrested everyone and published their real names but I had left the club by then.

    I believed I had mentioned in a different thread that (aside from living stipends) there is no payment for providing information to journalists and documentary filmmakers.

    Why there is no payment involved? To avoid bias. What biases? Let's see...being coerced into providing non factual information in exchange of money, being told what to say to present a point of view, and other non ethical practices.

    Living stipends=/=payment. So, if a person doing some form of documentary provides you with payment outside of a stipend (money to eat, lodging, and travel) you best believe they are not trying to present factual information but try to push for an agenda or promote propaganda.

    Would you like to see yourself portrayed in a unflattering manner (eg. As a crackwhore) for a few extra bucks? I don't think so. That's what could happen if a journalist and/or documentary filmmaker would offer you a paycheck outside of living stipends.

    “Journalists” conveniently are forbidden by their “ethics” from compensating people who provide them information.

    A real good friend of mine was wrongly arrested for prostitution at her club several years ago. Charges were eventually dropped, but since the papers posted her real name and blasted her mug shot. That did more damage. Sometimes journalists are more dangerous to someone's future just for a story to sell papers.

    Actually I have taken journalism ethics (and worked in journalism) and while that is true many "journalists" do things like stretch the truth or slant a story. Not long ago a local journalist interviewed me about my experiences with online dating and slanted it to the point so I looked like a different person that who I am. The journalist did a "follow up" where all these people basically took pot shots at me.

    OP-I was arrested once and let go, none industry related. I have a brand new sports car and sleep on a pile of cash, so it didn't really influence my life, aside from learning that real cuffs aren't nearly as fun as furry, pink ones, like I told the arresting "gentleman".
