Paris Hilton back in jail

[belkin603]

The city attorney is just trying to make a name for himself and the judge is on a power trip. The judge actually wrote handwritten notes requiring a county jail and no home jail which gave Paris a much stricter sentence than a "normal person" would get. There are people with multiple DUIs that have served far less jail time than the five days Paris has already served. No question Paris is an easy person to hate and a super awful role model but she should not have a stricter sentence than a normal person would have.

Anyone think she dosent show up tomorrow cause she is too distraught?

[TexasStooge]

As the saying goes, ya don't wanna do the time, don't do the crime! I don't know how many times that statement has been said in many different languages...probably for the 50 billionth time.

your right.. Poor Paris.. Why is everyone trying to pick on her?

[southerngale]

And it was 3 days, not 5 days.

[somethingfunny]

What a load of bull! I've been to jail. 52 days. Don't ask what it was for- I'm not proud of it and I still believe the charges were crap (on deferred judication now so at least my future isn't permanently damaged by the ordeal...in fact I'm probably stronger having toughed it out and learned some real life lessons at a young age)

Jail sucked. When I was depressed I went to my cell and I slept the day away until I felt better about being closer to the end of my sentence. The food is terrible and during the first few days I usually didn't finish my meals (let my "cellie" have the rest while the guards weren't looking ), but once I got over the initial shock and depression of being incarcerated...you bet I looked forward to every single meal. It gave me a regular schedule to mark the passage of days by. And it wasn't really all that bad...except for the collard greens.

My mother not only refused to bail me out, she refused to take my calls or even write back to me for over a month. THAT'S depressing. 18 years old and never been in trouble before, it was a really shoddy 52 days. I never ever...ever want to go back. So to hear about this...don't even know what synonym would be appropriate to use here....harlot whining about how horrible the food is and how she can't handle the trauma....all I can say is I hope she gets the book thrown back at her tomorrow. Because her excuses are absolute baloney. Had any of us tried any of those and we would have gotten a visit to the infirmary, some free psych meds, and if we really raised hell they'd stick us in the SHU (special housing unit) Trust me, you don't want to go to the SHU.

By the way, most people have to wait in a place called "booking" after they get arrested. That's where you sit in a large open room with a sergeants desk at one end and they slowly process your information and lose it and track it down again and fax it from one end of the building to the other and then back again and they eat fast food and talk trash to us and on frequent occasions they put all 30-40-50+ of us in a concrete room with big glass windows and metal benches called "the tank" for hours at a time. I was lucky that my bookin process only took about 28 hours because when the jail is overcrowded- which is the ideal situation apparently- booking can take up to 4 days or even longer. Everybody's scared and angry and coming down off of hard drugs and sobering up and trying to get some shuteye and there's always somebody in the tank with really bad flatulence and it really sucks. Paris Hilton got to jail and had her own cell 3 hours later. Then there's the cavity search, something else Hilton never had to deal with. Considering how much she gets around, and mods please delete this sentence if it's too suggestive, I'm wondering if she only had her mental breakdown after 5 days because her smuggled cocaine stash ran out....


....I'm sorry, it's just that seeing things like this really hit one of my rawest nerves. I wish I could see justice here.

Good news for you. Justice has already been served.

As a criminal-defense attorney who deals on a daily basis with the realities of the court and jail system in Los Angeles, I've seen more than enough cases to know Paris didn't get special treatment. In fact, most low-level offenders sentenced to county jail typically serve no more than 10 percent of their sentences, no matter what the county court dictates.

[Andrew92]

OK, I do realize that I am about to come across as EXTREMELY harsh, but I have no intention on being offensive. However, I have thought about this whole debacle and have come up with something.

I am actually very scared for Paris. If she continues to be a spoiled rich girl, bending and breaking the law to pieces and getting away with it, she may one day be somewhere besides jail. Prematurely. Honestly, she could be lucky to be 40 someday if she continues going down this avenue. It's happened to at least two other celebrities who I wish to keep anonymous for very personal reasons.

I hope it doesn't happen. No, I can't stand Paris, but I still hope she finally one day learns her lesson and is able to live a full life. But she really needs to make wiser decisions, and she needs to be disciplined much more harshly, or I fear her life could be cut short unnecessarily because of decisions like the ones she's made.

OK, rant over.

Hrm. I will come across as harsh,but I don't really mind.It's the way I feel. If someone acts a certain way,they must accept what's coming to them,regardless of the circumstances.You have to own up to your actions and accept what comes your way.The weak will find comfort in drugs and other life threatening things,but whatever happens to them they had it coming.One can not simply use childhood upbringing as an excuse (Not that she'll be able to use that one).

This whole Paris issue has really irritated me though,getting a cell mate chosen,etc.. If she was some good person or something I might understand,But she is nothing more than a rich little spoiled tabloid queen.

[canegrl04]

Paris Hilton is a skanky spoiled brat. Its sickening to see someone leading such a carefree life.Her only purpose in this world is to party.I can't think of a more dull existence.She needs to see what the real world is like and face punishment(longer than 3 days in jail)I hope the judge thrwos the book at the sherrif who let her out and I hope poor Paris has to spend 40 days this time

[Brent]

She was going to testify by phone but the judge has ORDERED her to appear in court!

[feederband]

She was going to testify by phone but the judge has ORDERED her to appear in court!

Yeah he seems really pi**ed about this...I think the spoiled brat maybe going back to jail...

[Shelby6977]

I seriously doubt it, at least not today/ There will be motions filed and this could wind up in litigation for weeks or months. I have no pity here for Paris. It isnt the DUI that landed her in jail, it was her defiance! Not once but TWICE!! For someone that has all the money she could ever want or need dont you think hiring a DRIVER would have been the solution? She did what she did, she needs to pay the price and if she has a meltdown in the slammer then she can get treatment like everyone else.

[Ptarmigan]

I am just sick of Paris Hilton. I have heard of her even before that sex tape came out in 2003.

[nholley]

:uarrow: And it was 3 days, not 5 days.

They gave her credit for the day she arrived (Probably 11.59pm) and the day she left (probably 12.01am).

[southerngale]

So now they're saying she served FIVE days? That's ridiculous. Anyway, I said that because the news on TV and the articles I saw all said three days. Here's one:

LOS ANGELES - After only three days behind bars, Paris Hilton traded a 12-by-8-foot cell for her 2,700-square-foot Hollywood Hills home when she was released early Thursday because of an unspecified medical condition. The move drew fire from prosecutors and court officials and sparked public debate about celebrity justice.

She turned her self in 5 minutes before midnight (they gave her credit for that day) and then was released 5 past midnight (gave her credit for that day as well)

[Regit]

Well, she's going back to jail.

The judge was extremely upset at the Sheriff's department.
