You don't normally go to jail for "Being a pimp" but for "Promoting Prostitution."
In my state there is a 1st and 2nd Degree Prostitution offense of which 1st Degree is a Class B Felony and 2nd Degree a Class C Felony.
This particular offense is punishable, in my state, a Class B felony, not more than 20 years or less than 2 years plus a fine, and Class C felony, not more than 10 years or less than 1 year and 1 day and a fine.
Hope this helps...best wishes.

It really depends on the circumstances of the case. In most states "Promoting Prostitution" can get you anywhere from 5-10 years along with hefty fines to boot. Also, there's the question of gender that can play heavily on the duration of the sentence as well. In recent years there have been more and more women coming into the public spotlight, committing this particular crime, however the length of the penalty for men who commit the same infraction far superseded the amount of prison time that a "Female Offender" might receive. 5-10 is usually the general sentence, unless of course there are other crimes involved, like drugs, tax evasion, illegal guns. These cases are rarely one crime, but rather a litany of other crimes being committed, which could include federal offenses and in some cases land an offender (perp) behind bars for as much as 30 years or more.

Depends on the state. In Texas, promotion of prostitution is a 3rd degree felony 2 to 10. Each additional conviction can increase the penalty until it is life.

Long enough for the pimp to get a pimp of his own. Then the pimper becomes the pimpee.

It depends on the criminal history but I would say no less than 5 years for multiple offenses.
