Prostitutes are in the greatest danger both from their pimps and johns when they are plying their trade on the street. Many are addicted and abused and have little protection from life threatening danger or disease. While a bawdy house is far from my idea of heaven it has to be better and safer than the streets for both them and their customers.
I have sympathy for these "working girls" but some of the worst criminals are the damn pimps who force this life on them for their own evil and selfish gain. They should be castrated with a dull spoon and have their gonads shoved down their throat!
