Carl11o: Sp cq pimps

1. Do the prostitutes work for pimps or others who profit from their income?

There's no traditional pimp structure, but rather an exploitation based on addiction. In Central City, control isn't physical, but chemical. Detective Wright confirmed that clients exchange drugs directly for sex. This makes the local dealer the true indirect beneficiary; he doesn't need to manage the women, only maintain the supply of crack and cocaine so they can keep working.
