A two-hour documentary is set to air Thursday night on the Oprah Winfrey Network — Prostitution: Leaving the Life tells the story of the world of prostitution from the people that know it best – the women that live it. Three former prostitutes work with the Cook County Sheriff to help women in Cook County Jail leave the life, and gain the life skills and confidence to escape prostitution.


One of the peer coordinators with the Cook County Department of Women’s Justice Services, Brenda, was shot five times, stabbed over 13 times, and beaten while she was a prostitute for 25 years, and before she worked for Cook County.

The documentary describes the “high traffic prostitution area” of Mannheim Road.

Premieres Thursday, August 18th at 9/8c, on OWN (Oprah Winfrey Network).
