Very long. The problem though, as pointed out above, is that one person's frivolous expenditure is another person's serious endevour. Tattoo removal to remove gang affiliation is one serious method of stopping gang activity. Wiarton Willy is a national symbol in Canada and bigger there than is Punxsutawney Phil in the US. To the locals this is a big deal. Anger management at an early age may help prevent something more serious later on in life. No, I can't point to specific aspects because I'm not an expert. etc., etc., etc., I’m sure the list is long. Very long.

Add to that the frequency of drug use among prostitutes and I`m sure the people at the top will be making sure THEY don`t have former hookers dispensing their meds.

If you want to leave a gang you have to get your tattoos removed. If you don't other gangs will assume you are still with yours and treat you accordingly. If your gang catches you they will probably kill you. The last, prostitutes to nurses, also makes sense. I assume a full health screen of the applicants. There are a wide variety of nursing positions, I would put them in one that didn't involve pushing meds. Prostitutes would probably enjoy a job that was safer, paid better, and didn't involve screwing whoever happens past. The tattoo removal thing is serious.

This is against the law and he is using your taxpayer money that was intended to create jobs here to send them to India.
