Nashville Adult Entertainment: Off the Streets

15 01 2010

Robertson and several others from Nashville’s Magdalene program, a nonprofit residential treatment program to help prostitutes turn their lives around, visited the women’s prison this week as part of the “Find Your Way Home” national prison tour.
At each stop, former prostitutes share their stories and pass out free copies of Find Your Way Home, a book of stories compiled by women from the Magdalene program.
“We’re going on this tour to spread the word about the communal aspect of recovery for women,” said Magdalene founder Becca Stevens.
As part of the program, women with a history of prostitution can live at one of Magdalene’s six residential houses for free. For the next two years, they use the 12-step recovery program to overcome alcohol and drug addiction. When they’re able to work, the women may find outside jobs or take a position at Thistle Farms, Magdalene’s bath and body-care company.
