I don't have direct experience dealing with prostitutes, either as a costumer or in vice, but I have read some training material on the subject, and talked to some vice cops. From what I understand, prostitution rings on college campuses are way more common then most people realize, but it's not like it is going on in every dorm. The girls involved in that type of thing however, tend to be what are considered the high class type, who charge by the hour rather then the trick, and have going rates in the hundreds of dollars for a half hour session. It is extremely rare for such types to work with pimps, as they screen their Johns very tightly and live/operate out of secure environments.
Pimps, tend to work with the street hookers, and the pimp is both for protection and for promoting the hooker. Often times a pimps duel roles conflict with each other, and when they do he will normally side with what is in his own personal financial interest. Hookers are also not normally what one would consider conventionally attractive, as the street puts a lot of wear and tear on their bodies.
The high class girls, tend to work with madames, who focus more on screening and finding costumers who will both pay and not harm the girls. Since a girl who can attract a costumer willing to drop hundreds of dollars an hour is more rare then a drugged out floozie, she is a valuable asset, and such operations will go to greater lengths to insure that that asset is protected, often by insisting that condoms are worn, and refusing to take on high risk clients.
Street prostitutes make a lot of noise, and bring a lot of problems, and generally are not tolerated in their communities. High class operations, can be operating right next door, and most people might not notice it. As a result, the police rarely get informed about it, or have much motivation to crack down if they do.
Neither system is a good system. Both are built on the exploitation of women, and carry huge risk. One is preferable to the other, but much in the same way that the flu virus is preferable to cancer. Both are bad, but one is clearly a lot worse.
