Prostitution should be legal.
What exactly would that help? It would make human trafficking even more widespread. Only men who use prostitutes and pimps would be better off.
Most average to high end escorts don't use a pimp and aren't trafficked. Make the latter illegal and the punishments draconian.
Singapore is set to execute a woman who was caught with a small quantity of opioids (heroin, IIRC). The only thing which works is to summarily execute human traffickers and network drug traffickers. Our laws on death penalty appeals are ridiculously out of date in cases where there is physical and multiple testimonial evidence of trafficking. We are executing far too few people to suppress the evil tolerated by this society.
To me, spending decades in prison is cruel and inhumane when capital punishment is an appropriate remedy.
