The vast majority of the women there were Mexicans but Koreans were the fourth most imprisoned there which I remember reading because the amount of Korean women arrested for prostitution were directly related to Korea not entering the US Visa waiver which as we all know is a huge issue in Korea. I read this article about two years ago. I'm pretty sure it was in the Korea Times but the archive feature on there won't bring up older articles from before the time they upgraded the website. So take it for what it is worth. There is a detention facility in Albuquerque where women trafficked into the states are held until sent back to their country.

That narrows the number to less than 100. How could Koreans be the "fourth most imprisoned nationality in US prisons," for prostitution or otherwise? GI,

The article says more than half are serving sentences of more than 10 years, so we can probably assume more than half aren’t serving for prostitution.

That narrows the number to less than 100.

How could Koreans be the “fourth most imprisoned nationality in US prisons,” for prostitution or otherwise?

In the US media the fact that the killer was Korean was not sensationalized and no reprisals against Koreans occurred. Also Koreans are the fourth most imprisoned nationality in US prisons yet no one knows or cares. The crimes the US media sensationalizes is celebrity crime." Oh yes, it becomes a sensationalism matter when the same foreigners group keep committing the same crimes over an over, regardless of how much they are arrested or taken to the courts. Regarding what you said about the Koreans being the fourth most imprisoned foreign groups in the USA, you must be kidding, first you did put it in a way that seemed that Koreans were fourth in all known crimes, but than NOW you bothered to clarify that it is just for prostitution related crimes. Well following your very example, Americans are than the third/fourth major criminals groups in Korea. Congratulation. “In response to Dr. Yu, crimes committed by foreigners are not sensationalized everywhere.
