  I don't want to say "Yes!" and come off like I'm judging an entire group, but...yes. In general, you have people who are willing to engage in riskier activity for the sake of earning money and/or entertaining themselves. While I can't cite statistics, and I could be wrong, I would tend to think that yes - they are more likely to end up involved in criminal activity. Whether or not that means jail time depends on the nature of the crime and if they're repeat offenders, but I'd say in general - yes.

  My longest lockup was 20 minutes in the back of a squad car. Would have been shorter but he got a call and took me on a high-speed chase. But many of the people I know have spent at least a night in jail. I know only a couple who have been to prison.

  My dancer friends--the girls I have gotten to know well--are pretty nice people. But they have all spent at least a night in jail. DUI, drug possession, domestic violence, prostitution, etc. As Che said, they live in a culture where criminal activity is not unusual. Most strippers grew up in tough neighborhoods and they have friends and relatives who are no strangers to the police. One dancer told me that she used to date a Detroit drug dealer recently convicted of murder. Another fav disappeared for months, and when she returned she told me she had been in jail for violating a court order. Strippers are risky people in a risky profession. I don't judge strippers for having been in jail. But I don't want to go to jail myself, because I've heard about what happens to good looking guys in prison.

  I think stripping is a symptom of other behavior - drugs and low self-esteem mostly. Drugs help deaden some stuff they might be (refusing to) deal with. Of course, most people will not tolerate working around people who are high a great deal of time. So one ends up working a job where people kind of don't care. Flashing and such behavior to get attention is low self-esteem I believe. This might work in reverse because for a lot of "yes," there still are many more "no's" - hence the postings of strippers going nuts on "no." They are putting their most intimates on parade and you dare to say NO! For many their psyche is so beat up by drugs, shit friends, or worse, fucked parents (you all know what I mean) that their beauty and sexuality is all they have left to be proud of. A lot of times drugs and low self-esteem go hand in hand. This leads on to going down the steps one at a time into hell. I do think stripping strengthens any asocial behavior a person might have. In most jobs, one wants to build personal bridges - in stripping, um, no. Which is funny because just like film stars, the idea is to get known and loved by many but still not be known by them. A search for acceptance but not doing the complementary part of returning it. When on drugs, one tends to do very stupid shit. I think that is pretty clear. So these things amplify on each other and soon they are like "Fuck society and it's norms - I steal from fucks in the club, I still from fucks in the discount store." I was in a seminar and a psychologist said "When your baby is running around with thugs, s/he isn't the 'good one.' S/He is just as bad as the rest of them." These girls are picking these losers and they know it.

  "I don't judge strippers for having been in jail. But I don't want to go to jail myself, because I've heard about what happens to good looking guys in prison." There are a lot of girls who sat in the car while Bobby or Bo Bo decided to rob and get into gun fire with the local drug dealer... and she ended up being a part of the crime simply by being there. The women's prisons are filled with chicks like this.

  I bet the most common reason for a stripper to go to jail has to be driving on a suspended license. At my reg club, I bet if there was a license check, AT MOST, 50% would actually have a valid license. No idea why.

  Define "peers". A stripper's peers would be othe strippers, would they not? My CF/ATF claims she's never been in jail, though I know she's been caught driving with no license and no insurance before. My former ATF had at least one DUI, for which she spent some time, not sure how long, in jail. The girl I call MFC has been in jail on drug and child support charges a number of times.

  "Define "peers". A stripper's peers would be othe strippers, would they not?" George, yes you are correct. I realized it was a poor choice of words after I posted. I meant basically other females in their general age group. Sorry it was confusing.

  This is one experience that I can share with strippers. I once spent a night in the 'drunk tank' back in my much wilder youth - an experience I never want to repeat. My stomach still heaves at the memory of that foul communal cell redolent with the smell of body order, puke, shit, and bleach.
