the prostitution problem was really gigantic at that time. i really got involved in it. i got to know a number of the girls. i wanted to be to where on a daily basis i could walk up to the working girls and talk with them, have a conversation, tell them to move on, but, you know, if i catch you, you're going to go to jail, but if you need any help, you let me know. michelle was a lady that would work the area, from mlk northbound to columbia boulevard. >> i was living a different lifestyle at that time. i was the prostitute. i was feeding my drug addiction, and i was walking the streets and selling my body to pay for my addiction.
