Nice to know that there are 2 justice systems. One for the super rich/famous and one for us.

This crap makes me sick.

Yeah, this is complete bullshit.

Who cares if she was crying herself to sleep or mentally distraught? I expect that's typical behavior for new inmates in the prison system, and I'm sure they have a psychiatric unit for people with emotional problems..

There's no good reason she should have been released.

Actually, she should have been released. But not because she's rich. She should have been released for being sentenced for a victimless crime in the first place.

And so should all of the other hundreds of thousands of inmates.

She violated the law by failing to comply with the restrictions of her probation (driving with a suspended license).

She was on probation because she was caught while driving under the influence and reckless driving, among many other traffic violations that put other peoples lives at risk.

It's not a victimless crime when you put the public in danger with bad decisions.

"Warden! We have a problem! Paris Hilton is crying because she doesn't want to be here."


"My god. Someone let her out. We wouldn't want any unhappy people in jail. It ruins the spirit of it. How can you learn your lesson when you are miserable?"

On one hand, I somewhat agree with you.

One the other hand, it's not going to happen so lets just keep the punishments even across the board. No special treatment for these people.

She violated a court order. I don't feel bad for her. I feel bad for the guy who gets thrown in jail for having a seed in his ashtray.

Isn't her crying, not eating, and being miserable what everyone wanted out of this in the first place?

What would the reaction be if she was all uppity, and enjoying herself?

She can't win.

if I ever serve a jail sentence (and here is to hoping I never) I shall attempt the "not eating" method of garnering an early release, though I suspect at minimum 6 months before anyone would notice

I heard Sharpton has demanded the release of every prisoner who can claim the same condition as Paris. Do you see lots of medical claims coming......

Yup. And the judge is thinking about handing out a Contempt of court order to the Sheriff that decided to let her go. I wonder how much the Hilton family offered that guy to let her out early.

It raises an interesting question, does the sheriff have the legal authority to change a sentence?

Good! She deserves to go back and sit out the rest of her sentence like the rest of us would have to!

I agree, she should be sent back and if she does havea legitimate issue (other than whining about the food and incarceration as a whole) that warrants medical attention, I am sure there is a prison hospital that can handle it just like they do for many other inmates.

I was thinking the same thing. Send her to prison or handcuff her to a hospital bed and lock the door.

Apparently he had the authority to release her. Pathetic.

So all Libby has to say is that prison makes him sick and he can go home? This sounds like a mockery of our judicial system. The judge is rightfully pissed.
