Abstract
Drawing upon five years of ethnographic research with over 100 Denver, Colorado women involved in street‐based sex work and drug use, this paper explores what the women's discursive framings of men who facilitate women's sex work activities reveal about the exclusionary social and criminal justice practices that shape their lives.
