Reason Number 34

30 hookers in 30 days. The Caller times is reporting that 30 prostitutes have been arrested in 30 days:

Six women were arrested on suspicion of prostitution this week, bringing the total arrests to 30 in about 30 days, police reported.

Authorities say they are cracking down on prostitution, which is a misdemeanor, because they believe it goes hand in hand with drug dealing and property crime, Capt. Todd Green of the Corpus Christi Police said.

“They have been concentrating efforts on prostitution to make an impact on everything that goes along with it,” Green said.

The six women arrested most recently were arrested on Leopard, Agnes and Staples streets, Green said.

I'm not sure what's saddest? The readers' comments on the online article asking for pictures; the CCPD's website with prostitute mugshots; the faces in those mugshots; the Johns trolling along Leopard street; Leopard Street itself; or Corpus' total lack of social services driving these pathetic women to this pathetic life.
