With women in the minority "soiled doves"as they were known found plenty of hardworking miners in Jerome willing to pay for some welcomed female company These two young women pose in front of their workplace the "Cribs " on Hull Avenue. Although it was illegal ,police enforcement was inconsistent. Prostitution remained an integral part of life in Jerome throughout the mining period..
