In a very candid interview, Lisa speaks with
"Amber," who says she's turned countless tricks in truck stops from
Oklahoma to Florida. Amber says she was a 14-year-old runaway when she
began working for a pimp…on the advice of her aunt. Like an estimated 90
percent of prostitutes, "Amber" was molested as a child. In her case, she
says her aunt and uncle began raping her when she was just 12 years old.
To make her quota of $1,000 every night, Amber says she sometimes
had to have sex with as many as 20 men in a day. If she didn't make her
quota, she says her pimp would beat her mercilessly. "I can't see straight
sometimes still because of [the beatings]," she says. "My vision goes
blurry and I'll see double sometimes."
Amber says she suffers from
other negative effects of her life as a prostitute. "You don't feel like a
person anymore," she says. "You don't feel any emotion. It takes your
dignity and your self-respect, self-esteem. It strips you of it."
