The biggest issue I cna see with it is the fact her sentence stipulated that she NOT be put under house arrest and released with an electronic teather.  Also her time had already been reduced by the judge, to like 23 days instead of 45, and the sherriff has put it back to the original ammount under the teather.  What it boils down to is the sherriff is over riding the courts order, and setting his own.  That is why they ordered her back into court today and are looking at the sherriff being held in contempt of court.  Too many people are screaming about this, especially when it is being reported that the "medical condition" is a rash, and that she complained about the food.
If you cant do the time, dont do the crime.....unless you are a celebrity and have mega bucks.

When Judge Michael Sauer sentenced Hilton last month, he specifically - in a handwritten addition to his printed order - ruled out work-furlough programs, electronic monitoring and other non-jail options. In an extraordinary motion filed yesterday, prosecutors asked Sauer to hold the L.A. County Sheriff's Department in contempt and send Hilton back to jail immediately. "Time is of the essence to ensure compliance with this court's order and to restore public confidence," according to a request penned by prosecutors Dan Jeffries and David Bozanich. Their boss, L.A. City Attorney Rocky Delgadillo, ripped Sheriff Baca and accused him of practicing "two-tiered" justice. "We cannot tolerate a two-tiered jail system where the rich and powerful receive special treatment," Delgadillo said.

Edit to add:
I also think we have a prison population problem here too.  I think we coddle these people too much.  Put them in tent cities out in the desert.  Make them pick strawberries and cut lettuce.

It's good enough for Mexicans., but it's not good enough for prisoners?

Then send her to Arizona.  Sheriff Joe already offered to put her in Tent City and Summer is around the corner.  He's also the only Sheriff that has a female chain gang.

Did she serve 10% of her 23 days sentence in jail?

If she did, she served the average out here. Why should she serve the whole thing when other not famous, not wealthy people don't have too?

People want to punish her in part because she is rich.  Being ultra rich is not a crime, neither is buying a great legal defense, neither is being a clueless, spoiled, slut. Jesus if it was half of Orange County would be in the slammer.

She shouldn't be breaking the law but neither should the countless other no name CA residents I see getting gooned up in bars and restaurants all the time and stumbling out to the valet to get in their cars and drive home.

People get busted for DUI's all the time out here, multiple offenses and NEVER do a lick of time.

IMO... it would be difficult for any reasonable person to argue your point.

I think what we're seeing here is people wanting "justice" in this particular case, primarily because they don't like her.

If I was the Hilton family, I would have had Paris quietly do her time, and then I would have spend my very last dime fucking destroying every one of these people.

Absolutely, where is the outrage over the scores of other offenders released from the L.A. County jail that have not served their full sentence, or for the scores who NEVER serve a day?

Those armed felons, sexual predators and multiple drunk drivers do not serve the adgenda of "Class Envy" being fed to the American Public these days.

That said...

Paris Hilton needed to see at least a "weekend" in county jail, just the same as about 95% of the people who have faced similar violations but if her name was Paris Jones nobody would have batted an eyelash at her release.

I'm hoping to close out this thread and see these same folks posting in outrage over Mary Winkler only having to serve out 60 days in a psych faciliy no less for shooting her sleeping husband in the back. Must be a real cabal there too.
