Seconded, the US justice system seems to be all about overkill. There's no sense of proportionality.


hehe i id get far far more satisaftion out of seeing paris doing 45days community service, cleaning public toiltes, sorting recycable (sp) trash, doing public gardening and feeding poor people at night.

that kind of thing would be priceless. i just dont see how anyone learns anything be being stuck in a small concrete room 23 hours a day.

*still wants to smash someone in the face for sentancing that kid to life in prison for having sex with a girl a few months younger then him*

I guess I don't see the logic behind throwing away (or writing off) an entire system because of one extreme case of broken logic. It's akin to suggesting that a person with an acne splotch should be put to death because of one imperfection. Pointing out the relatively few, extreme case of bad judgement appeals emotionally, but intellectually you have to weigh the system based on the far more common cases that are dealt with thousands of times per day, year after year.

If Martha Stewart and Robert Downey Jr. can go to the clink, so can Paris. And they had far more in their careers to lose. Even L'il Kim had to go spend two years in jail.

I'd say 99% of me is going, "Ha ha! Serves you right!" while 1% feels sorry for her. I absolutely think she earned all this, but I can't imagine it'll be fun to be Paris Hilton in the middle of a jail which is probably full of the underprivileged. Even if she doesn't get her ass kicked by the other inmates, she'll be spending the next month and a half completely alone. For someone who clearly thrives on the company and attention of others, that's going to be torture. I don't envy her the experience.

It'll be interesting to see how her time in jail affects her.

Also, the reason Paris would be in solitary is not to give her extra punishment, but to protect her from the other inmates.

This is a bit of a misconception about the justice system and punishment, but a common one that I have made myself. I spent several years working in corrections, and thought for most of that time that our purpose was to reform criminals, yet the majority ended up being repeat offenders.

The real purpose of the justice system is to discourage behavior from those who are considering committing crimes. The vast majority of offenders are offenders because they fundamentally don't get it to begin with, and will end up repeating the crime or something like it, but... punishment does deter the majority who do get it, but may be tempted to commit the same crime for the benefits.

In other words, Paris may not learn from this, but other would-be drunk drivers probably will, before they drive drunk, so a valuable purpose is served. Paris OTOH seems to have a blind spot in her brain. She doesn't get something, and probably never will. She doesn't like the punishment, most criminals don't, but it's doubtful that she will ever get that she has a responsibility not to put others at risk, and a responsibility to obey our legal system if she is going to benefit from our legal system (which she does immensly in terms of her families fortune is protected by the very same legal system).

First off...the way the Trump kids came out (none of them seems to be suffering from 'party your ass off and don't worry about anybody else' syndrome) has nothing to do with DONALD. It has to do with their mother, Ivana. Nice to know that Donald tried to screw the mother of his kids out of as much money as possible. He was out chasing ass while Ivana was at home teaching the kids how to be responsible, admirable adults. So, the only credit Donald gets is making money.

That Sheriff was obviously paid off...and if the DA so chooses, I believe that they can prosecute him for contempt of court and actually take that money away (in fines, etc). The Hiltons could actually be charged with bribing a public official. That would be good. "Since Paris is not the only one with no fucking common sense, and you're stupid enough to bribe someone...and since you cost our court system thousands of dollars in extra taxpayers dollars over this bullshit...you can pick up the entire tab of $80,000 and that will be on top of paying fines up the ass." Hey, if they work the cards right, they can have the Hiltons pull California out of debt!

Ok...so it's over the top, LOL...but a girl can dream!

Paris deserves to be in jail. She'd learn nothing with having house arrest (didn't she have this for something, once, anyways?). She broke a law...she was KNOWINGLY driving on a suspended license (and if she didn't, then she's an ass for signing a paper without knowing what she was signing...ignorance is no excuse), she was ORDERED to appear in court (which she blew off), she was ORDERED to do community service by a certain date (which she blew off). She basically paid her fine and walked away. Any "normal" person who did that would have gotten the book thrown at them, as well.

Maybe after all of this, when she gets out of jail, she can go visit Tom Cruise and take up the Scientology religion and become a lovable, coherent, and sane person, just like him. ::)

See you in 40 days, Paris!! bwahahahahahahhaaha

Very true. The purpose is to discourage others and to a lesser extent to discourage repeat offences from the same person. Thesedays it is fashionable to say it is also for rehabilitation. It is also punitive - to pay a debt to society and compensatory - for the sake of the victim/society who were wronged.

I brought up Donald not to contradict you but to agree with you, I should have made it more clear. He is in Paris' league, as one of the worst cases of overindulged celebrity types in history.

I don't think it's mean AT ALL that she was let out of jail and brought back. I think it serves her right. Does anyone think for a second that she/her family didn't pay that sherriff to let her out in the first place? I say GOOD FOR THAT JUDGE for sticking it to her, because she MORE than deserves it. She has been given way more leniency than other people would have received for all she's done.

She needs to learn about consequences and that money can't buy her out of everything. She needs to learn to take some responsibility for herself and her actions. MAYBE a punishment, for a change, will open her eyes a bit.

I have to admit that would be really pleasing to watch! Her actuall ygiving back to the community, rather then sucking up USA tax payers dollars on a strict judge who wants to make an example of her and a dumb security guard who let her out of jail which both added to the amount of money and resources wasted!

To us aussies, the USA punishment system is not very proportionate at all!

And really, Paris's own sister, Nicky is quite smart and seems to have some sense. Any family can have a bad apple, it happens all of the time.

True. I dont know much about the Hilton's but I do know that Nicky seems to be alot more mature, and grounded than her older sister. She parties like most kids our age, but not nearly to the extent of her sister. She seems very bright.

Are you kidding? The pathetic media would be all over that, with helicopters overhead zooming in on Paris while she picked up trash...she'd eat it up. That wouldn't be punishment, it would be reward for her.

Yeah, I can see it now...."we're breaking in to this episode of the Price is RIght so we take you to our affiliate in LA, where a news helicopter crew has footage of Paris Hilton picking up trash on the freeway. And Paris has turned and is looking up...she's waving at the camera....my, she certainly does manage to make an orange jumpsuit look cute..."

PUKE ME OUT THE ASS. Let her rot in her cell for 6 weeks. At the least, we won't have to be exposed to her...we can consider this a societal boost.

He's paparrazi now???? Thats sad....

how old is this guy?? That pic was taken 60 yrs ago... even if he was a kid he'd be in his 80's now...and shooting pics of Paris???

This might be a good punishment if there weren't the chance of her bringing her fucking camera crew and actually capitalizing on her punishment. I can just see it now--"The Simple Life--Giving Back"--it would be a big joke to her.

If I were that judge, I'd sentence Paris Hilton to ten years of no intentional contact with the media, and three years of a 9 pm curfew.

She can't have a reality show.

She can't talk with the media.

And she can't stay out all night partying.

THAT would be something she'd cry over.

Look people. She violated probation, drove drunk, got caught with a suspended license twice, and was late to court.


She got off easy. Those who say she isn't haven't been IN the court system at their mercy obviously...

Now really, I seriously have a problem with how much uproar this has caused. Whenever I watch the Maude-Damned celebrity tabloids, all I can think of is that it's the world's most well organized mob.

I haven't heard ANYONE take statements from the family. Or ANYTHING. IT'S ALL ABOUT PARIS. WHY DO WE GIVE A GOD DAMNED. It's the MERE FACT THAT WE'RE SO UP HER ASS SNIFFING FOR THE NEXT RELEASE OF DINNER CONVERSATION that she's getting treated differently at all.

Baring the fact that I don't know if the law is different in L.A. or not, but HOLLYWOOD and it's metaphorical "belongings" should manage. Treat her as they would anyone else. Payoff or not, we just really DON'T KNOW what's going on there. Everyone fights their own battles, but there is NO EXCUSE for someone of her ABILITY to take the wheel, when 9 times out of 10 she's driven everywhere.

I can't say the judge ruled accordingly, or the sheriff let her out due to a bribe, the true problem here, is that this is making national television. If john doe, would have gotten thrown in jail for it, so should she, if john doe would have been sent home so should see. NO DIFFERENCE.

That, and well, *I* think she was crying because SHE got to play the part of Nicole Richie to some star cell inmate name BRUCE-ETTA. :D

My bad..I thought it was a pic from Hiroshima, not Vietnam. MAkes more sense now.

Though the fact that this is BIG news and not just tabloid fodder is inane

This is just my opinion..... but I do feel bad for her..... its not fun going to jail.. especially when she was told she was gonna be on house arrest and now has to go back.... I hope the judge gets fired.... i think he went a tad bit overboard...

Mr Hyde

I hope the sherrif gets fired. How did he think it was his job to decide what her punishment is?

And judges can't get fired, they can only get voted out of office.

I don't get this Paris sympathy. The whole thing is a big joke in reality. She'll get out and be none the worse for it. This is about the equivalent of being grounded. The worst for her is that she doesn't get to go out and have fun. It's not like she's even getting the "real" jail experience, she's in the celeb wing so she doesn't get fucked with.

Boo hoo.

Sure it sucks, but she only got teased like that because she tried to buy her way out of it. If her family would have just accepted that she needed this wake up call and that she'd have to serve the time she wouldn't have gotten out only to be thrown back. Its like when you put a dog in its cage, and it spazzes out and finally escapes and you throw it back and its even more butthurt than before - its like...you shouldn't have tried to get out in the first place.

That video was hilarious - I like the "I miss my chihuahuaaaa".

Random Paris fact - The band (I forget their name - US-something 40?) that sings that "red red wine" song I think - they are attempting to sue Paris for stealing the music from "Kingston Town" to make "Stars are Blind" - I watched both videos on youtube and the music does sound quite alike. Yahoo told me about it.
