45 days in jail

Hilton living the finer life?

[Lathum]

huh?

[Ksyrup]

Paris Hilton was sentenced to 45 days in jail for violating her probation.

[Toddzilla]

Dola - of course, she'll get out early. Michelle Rodriguez was sentenced to 60 days at the same facility for the same thing, and she wasn't even in jail a full day.

[Atocep]

The suprising thing is she's really going to jail. No house arrest, no work release, no 'alternate' jail. No special treatment here (well, as far as billionares go).

[st.cronin]

I'm patiently waiting for the renaissance of women's prison films.

I was surprised that the judge decided to go that route. But hey, Martha went to real jail too. So, I guess it's par for the course these days.

As a city prosecutor said during closing arguments that Hilton deserved jail time, Hilton's mother, Kathy, laughed. When the judge ruled, Kathy Hilton, then blurted out: "May I have your autograph?"

Mom's real lucky she wasn't tossed in jail as well for contempt.

[Lathum]

I though the same thing

[Rizon]

She'll end up serving somewhere near 0 days.

It was two different things - Rodriguez was sentenced to 2 days and put on probation, which is pretty standard for a 1st offense DUI in this country. Paris Hilton violated her probation and had 45 days of her suspended time imposed. There's no way around that. She'll be entitled to the whatever "good time" formula is used in California, but she'll serve her time.

The fact that her mother likes to mouth off to judges in a courtroom is helping me understand how Paris turned out to be who she is.

Is it so wrong to wish someone would disappear off of this planet for good?

writes, "My friend Joshua started this petition. Please help and sign it. I love you all!" The petition, which is addressed to Schwarzenegger, claims "the American public who support Paris are shocked, dismayed and appalled by how Paris has been the person to be used as an example that drunk driving is wrong. She provides hope for young people all over the US and the world. She provides beauty and excitement to (most of) our otherwise mundane lives. If the late former President Gerald Ford could find it in his heart to pardon the late former President Richard Nixon after his mistake(s), we undeniably support Paris Hilton being pardoned for her honest mistake as well."

The American public who support her that are "shocked, dismayed and appalled" need to be prevented from ever breeding or at least not be allowed to communicate with anyone.

James Lipton read the petition last night Conan O Brian, it was hilarious

[Atocep]

Instead of simply giving her 45 days in jail, they should have sentenced her to 45 days of living an otherwise mundane life.

Go Away Paris Hilton Music Video

Citizens for a Better America - ‘Paris Hilton’ (Directed by Kevin Flynn) : A pressure group is venting their frustration at Paris Hilton’s overexposure by starting a campaign against her. The Citizens For A Better America have launched the Go Away Paris appeal selling T-shirts, hats and even thongs with their campaign slogan on them. And they’ve even gone as far as recording a song, which is available for download on iTunes and has its very own video.

California people -- what the fuck?

Is your asshole Governor really considering letting Hilton off for this?

[Drake]

I think more people need to see the South Park episode about Paris Hilton.

The only thing I've heard here is that a petition was sent to the Terminator (as of yesterday afternoon) and nothing I read or saw on tv mentioned that he had even 'looked' at it. That was the early news though and didn't catch the late news.

I think she should have an extra 45 days tacked on for being stupid and not knowing that her drivers license was suspended (even though she signed the paper work stating that she understood it to be suspended) and then another 45 days should be tacked on for saying that she doesn't deserve to go to jail.

Hopefully it's just a shit headline by the shit people at the NY Post.

LA Times article

Despite being sentenced for 45 days in county jail for violating her probation, socialite Paris Hilton is expected to spend three weeks -- and perhaps less -- behind bars, L.A. County sheriff's officials told The Times today.

Until now, officials have said they believed Hilton would serve the entire jail term ordered last week by Superior Court Michael T. Sauer after Hilton repeatedly drove her car while her license was suspended because of a DUI plea.

Sheriff's Department spokesman Steve Whitmore said Hilton's sentence could be cut nearly in half by state law allowing for credit for time served for good behavior. In addition, he said, overcrowding in the jail system could further reduce the time she spends in custody.

Overcrowding has been a major issue in the L.A. County jail system, with some inmates -- even violent ones -- serving as little as 10% of their sentences. (If that standard was applied to Hilton, she would serve less than a week in jail.)

[Atocep]

Paris Hilton will serve about half of her 45-day jail sentence and will be separated from the general inmate population, authorities said Wednesday.
The hotel heiress will spend about 23 days in a "special needs housing unit" at the Century Regional Detention Center in suburban Lynwood, Los Angeles County sheriff's spokesman Steve Whitmore said.

Her sentence was shortened after jail officials gave her credit for good behavior, Whitmore said. Officials considered several factors in calculating the credit, including that she appeared for her latest court date, he said.

Hilton will stay in a unit that contains 12 two-person cells reserved for police officers, public officials, celebrities and other high-profile inmates, he said.

Being seperated from the general public isn't in any way a suprise, but getting credit for good behavior by showing up for her latest court date!?!

Wasn't there problems with her showing up to her court dates on time? She showed up late to her sentencing. WTF?

[st.cronin]

"special needs"

No kidding.

[Ksyrup]

I'm not nearly as outraged at that as I am for what violent criminals get credit for to reduce their stay in jail.

[Critch]

So who had 3 days in the sweepstake for how long she'd actually be in prison for?

[gottimd]

Any chance anyone "Jack Ruby'd" her while she was being transported out of the prison? {crosses fingers}

What a waste of space she is.

she not important enough for that

the best thing america could do would be to give her a gigantic "who cares" and completely ignore her. she'd go bonkers. I'd be great but then we'd be paying attention again.

sigh

[Izulde]

I have a really weird like for Paris Hilton, actually.

[Surtt]

I was really shocked when everyone cheered that she was going to prison at the MTV Music Awards. I just seamed so cannibalistic (and hypocritical) of them.

I wonder how long it will take for her "lesbian prison video" to hit the net.

The sooner the better.

[Qwikshot]

She's already out...amazing.

[Ksyrup]

I know nothing about how this kind of stuff works, but they're giving her the full 45-day sentence (minus 5 days' good behavior and the 3 days in jail) of home arrest, based on "medical considerations." Unofficially, it appears that the "medical considerations" are that she is unwilling to eat the food. Unfuckingbelievable.

[Qwikshot]

I'm actually fine with this. It was going to be a fiasco anyway. She got a little freaked out, and now maybe she'll cut back on the stupidity.

Meanwhile, in stupid parent news...did anyone read about how Lindsey Lohan's mom has a show with E to try to boost her two younger daughters into the spotlight and try to make them stars (meanwhile industry members are all but positive that Lindsey will wind up in the grave sooner than later). That to me is more criminal than Hilton's.

I win.

In other surprising news of the day: Lance Bass is gay.

[stevew]

I guess painting the bars to look like penis's didn't even make her feel comfortable. The Medical concerns must have been a bad case of chipped teeth.

[miami_fan]

Woo hoo! That's the way you get tough on drunk drivers!

They should have stuffed a feeding tube down her throat.

[Surtt]

Whitmore refused to answer questions from reporters when asked if the medical condition was physical or psychological. He said it was not a staph infection. The jail provided Hilton with a pamphlet on the skin infection when she checked in.

Well, I am relieved to know it wasn't a staph infection.

Isn't jail supposed to be a punishment?

[Oilers9911]

Wow, if hating the food was grounds for release the prisons would be empty. What a crock.

"Her new lockup is a four-bedroom, three-bathroom, Spanish-style home on .14 acres above the Sunset Strip."



Unnecessary information designed to elicit anger/rage.

Dola.

And it worked.

Word. Who measures in acres when the amount is .14?

That's not much of a yard at all, is it? How many square feet is that?
