The Wire

The Wire: (1) A pimp hotline, like a phone tree, pimps use to get the word around, to find out which city is on / off. (2) Wiring money from victim to pimp in different cities / states (“put it on the wire”).

This is used by pimps and traffickers to communicate with each other and to coordinate the exploitation and abuse of their victims. It is not uncommon for pimps and traffickers to use various methods of communication, including phone lines and online platforms, to facilitate the sale of sexual services and to maintain control over their victims.

Pimping is a form of human trafficking and is illegal in most countries. It is important to recognize the signs of pimp-controlled sex trafficking and to report any suspected cases to the authorities. If you or someone you know is being controlled or exploited by a pimp, it is important to seek help and support from a trusted source, such as a crisis hotline or a law enforcement agency.
