She'll live...and she'll be better for it.

Humility for the first in her life.

Her mental issues are the result of never working a day in her life. Did she even finish highschool?

I agree that it'll probably be good for her. It's just some people here claim that 45 days in jail is nothing for people who have never been arrested it is and should be a very scary experience. I am lucky that I served my time in Austin in a nonviolent offenders part of the jail. Even with that there were 3 fights in the 3 days I was there. Racism plays a huge part in jail, I just kept to myself. If the stories I hear about serving time in Houston, Tx or any other bigger city there's a good chance I would have gotten my ass kicked at least once even though i was there for only 3 days.

I think it has to do with the fact that she has zero control over the enviroment she's living in now. What and when she eats and when she takes a shower are decided by someone else. That in itself can be an intimidating experience.

In time she'll get used to it.

Heiress Paris Hilton camera-shy

Paris Hilton was so terrified guards would take a picture of her on the toilet that she didn't eat or drink for three days, according to a source.

Hilton also suffered from "extreme claustrophobia" and began hyperventilating and freaking out.

don't do the crime if you can't do the time

Better tell Robert Blake about that one.

It took a few weeks, but someone - the LA Times in this case - has finally done the leg work to tell us whether or not Paris Hilton has been treated more leniently or harshly than a normal person in similar circumstances.

As it turns out, she's serving far more time than a normal person in similar circumstances.

The Times analyzed 2 million jail releases and found 1,500 cases since July 2002 that — like Hilton's — involved defendants who had been arrested for drunk driving and later sentenced to jail after a probation violation or driving without a license.

Had Hilton left jail for good after four days, her stint behind bars would have been similar to those served by 60% of those inmates.

But after a judge sent her back to jail Friday, Hilton's attorney announced that she would serve the full 23 days. That means that Hilton will end up serving more time than 80% of other people in similar situations. (She was transferred late Wednesday from the Twin Towers jail in downtown L.A. to a women's jail in Lynwood).

The fact that drunk driving will only net you 23 days in jail (and thats MORE than the norm) is absolutely tragic.

First offense drunk driving should be a minimum of a year IMO. Don't give people any excuse.

Part of me thinks that due to historically lax and special treatment of celebs in the judicial system, Paris is being used as an example.

[Bobblehead]

Why do judges issue sentences? If the jails and sheriffs end up releasing them early, what is the point? The judge may as well spin a wheel for all the difference it makes.

When I was living in Norway, the penalty for drunk driving was a month in jail and a year's salary in fine (you're fined according to how much you earn there). And the blood alcohol limit is 0.02. Needless to say, people don't even sniff alcohol if they plan on driving later that day.

Why do people keep thinking her sentence is for drunk driving? It's for driving while having a suspended license.

The problem with that is it doesn't relate to the other punishments handed out. That would be a stiffer penalty than assaulting someone. One of those harms someone the other doesn't harm anyone (but it does put people in potential harm). My problem with the current system is if you crash into someone and hurt or kill them, the punishment is a slap on the wrist. The alcohol is treated as an excuse when in fact it was the cause. The cause that was willingly taken.

what do you think that license was suspended for?

That fine... but the 23 day sentence is not for the DD. If her license was suspended for something else other than DD, she would still have the 23 days.

[Table 5]

isn't that even more outrageous then? you don't even go to jail, but only get your license suspended?
