Elizabeth was also kind enough to write the below commentary explaining why women who work the streets carry little or no identification.

The Sex Trade and Identity Loss
Elizabeth Hudson
Why do women who work the street carry little if no identification?
This question is one often asked of me. I can only answer that the shedding of all identification is a vital survival tactic for women/men involved in the drug culture and by their association the street sex trade. I know it is difficult to understand why anyone would purposely lose their identity, but this is street thinking. And as a woman, who once lived this high-risk lifestyle and one with multiple convictions, I concluded quickly and rightly so if the police questioned me or picked me up, my best defense was an alias. Therefore I never carried identification. An alias guaranteed, "Clean with no known record." The Police left with nothing except my word would then release me from the back seat of their Police cruiser. Therefore to be me meant ...incarceration; to be someone else...freedom.
I showed all the signs that a troubled teenager would show, I ran away, I self mutilated, in fact I did everything I think that a troubled child does to call out for help.
