Trouble in China

The New York Times has an interesting story on prostitution in China: "For Prostitutes Jailed in China, Forced Labor with No Recourse."

"The last time she was hauled into the local station house, Ms. Li was sent without trial or legal representation to a detention center in neighboring Hebei Province, where she spent six months making ornamental paper flowers and reciting the regulations that criminalize prostitution. Her incarceration at the Handan Custody and Education Center ended with a final indignity: She had to reimburse the jail for her stay, about $60 a month."
