They would work in the capacity of labouring, caring and teaching in these communities, basically doing voluntary work for 5 years and would have to stay in Peru for this time period. In that time they would've learnt a lot of new skills and given a hell of a lot to the local population and really do some good. Sentencing somebody for a crime should be a remedial exercise where possible and in this case it could be so and they could pay for their crime this way. Because just chucking them in a Peruvian prison for years on end, achieves nothing, other than satisfying sadists who like to see human suffering. These prisons should be for violent and dangerous offenders and not for a couple of easily led girls.

Community service for trafficing? come on now. You are acting like they were caught with just a little bit that they were using for recreational purposes. Horrible idea!
