The claim that Denver is becoming really tough on prostitution, what with its new and seemingly popular Johns TV, is difficult to sustain when officials at the city jail have to release convicted prostitutes early to make room for more. Prostitution enforcement is something of a revolving door anyway, sad to say, but the early releases speed it up. The rules for early release say that the inmates have to serve at least half of their sentences, and have fewer than ten days remaining to serve. But that's not much of a limitation for offenses that often carry very short sentences anyway. Of the 233 jail inmates released early so far this year, 17 were women charged with prostitution (in a few cases, along with other offenses). Roughly half of them had sentences of only 10 days. If they've already been in jail a couple of days when they are sentenced, cutting even two or three days from the end of the sentence is a substantial reduction - not only in jail time but also in lost work time. It risks giving the offenders the message that (wink, wink) Denver's not serious about this. Or perhaps only half serious, since prostitutes' customers are in fact being punished, or at least humiliated, as never before. It's understandable that the jail is overcrowded, and that crowding for the women's section is worse than for men. But that's the point. Prostitution is a nuisance crime, one that damages the quality of life in the neighborhoods where it is prevelant. If the crowding is so severe that every new batch of prostitutes arrested and taken off the street forces an equal number to be released, that does essentially nothing to improve the neighborhood's situation. Yet choosing to release other inmates instead isn't an easy decision either. The only two offenses more common in the list are driving without a valid license and driving under the influence. The second of those is at least as serious as prostitution because because of the potential victims of drunken drivers. And if someone who would normally be in jail gets out early, and kills someone while driving drunk, the city could be sued. But if the city's attack on the supply side of the prostitution problem is running into difficulty because of the limited number of jail cells, it is vigorously tackling the demand side through the Johns TV. As of last Thursday, the city is posting the names and photos of prostitutes' customers on its web site and broadcasting them on its cable channel, Channel 8. Compared with other jurisdictions, Denver's going easy - at least at first. Unlike other cities, including Aurora, that post names and pictures of those arrested, Denver will limit its public exposure to those who have actually been convicted. Of course that makes explaining themselves even more difficult for the unwilling stars of Johns TV. The first program featured men convicted starting July 3. As long as both willing sellers and willing buyers exist, prostitution won't be erradicated. The trick is to prevent it from blighting neighborhoods. Making it less profitable for the sellers and mroe risky for the buyers should therefore have some usefull effect.
