Parisian Prisoners Offered Freedom If They Married Prostitutes Moved to Louisana (historycollection.com)

Seems like a pretty good deal to me. Being free probably beats being incarcerated most days. Prostitutes sort of have to be attractive and like sex. Two things I appreciate in a spouse. They’re probably also not dull so maybe that’s three.

Maybe we should revive the practice. Not sure Louisiana is the right destination for the revival.
