<p>You have no idea how happy this makes me.</p>

<p>I don’t think it’s justice…I know of people who have had several DUIs who never spent more than a night or two in jail. 45 days for driving on a suspended license isn’t justice in my opinion. It’s making an example of her because she is a celebrity and there are political advantages for those involved in the decision. While I think she should be punished, a month and a half seems unreasonable…especially with the overcrowded prison system in the United States…</p>

<p>P.S. I hate Paris Hilton.</p>

<p>Damn…</p>

4

<p>It’s justice because it’s not another case of a celebrity escaping jail time because of their celebrity status.</p>

5

<p>Well didn’t she get multiple warnings? She was supposed to sign up for some counseling too which she didn’t do.</p>

6

<p>Yesssssssssssssssssssss!</p>

<p>Whatever, she’s probably going to get a book deal and make another few million out of this. I think house arrest would have been preferable, especially since the California prisons are woefully overcrowded.</p>

<p>Besides, the criminal justice system is too punitive and not rehabilitative enough. What’s sticking a drug addict in jail going to do? They’re going to get out and go right back to their drug-doing ways. It doesn’t actually solve the problem. The problem is that she gets drunk and gets behind the wheel of a car. I don’t have all the answers, but it’s something to think about.</p>

<p>Yippeee !! :p</p>

10

<p>Why can’t we be less cynical and be happy that she wasn’t able to pay her way out of jail?</p>

11

<p>It does seem really harsh, even though it is kinda satisfying in a Schadenfreude kind of way. I don’t know the usual penalties for this kind of thing, but if that’s what they are, I feel better about enjoying this drama. Nothing more enjoyable than watching a spoiled brat have a tantrum.</p>

<p>Apparently, the judge expressly told the sheriff Hilton was not to be released for house arrest under any circumstances, yet the sheriff did so anyways.</p>

<p>Oy. It was funny, though. But did anyone notice that she only cried and got emotional after she was sent back, and not during her initial sentencing? Poked holes in her giant ego.</p>

<p>Praise da’ lawd! /<em>comment</em>/</p>

14

<p>Hallejuah!</p>

15

<p>She’s probably going to end up serving an earlier sentence anyways, getting book published, and probably is going to end up being the exact same kind of person. Should’ve just taken the 23 days without complaint and we could all move on with our lives.</p>

16

<p>or just move on with our lives anyway, bc this stuff is really trivial</p>

17

<p>They should throw this ***** in a wood chipper.</p>

18

<p>Watch your mouth, young man!</p>

19

<p>I never said anything wrong, ***** is not a curse.</p>
