Paris' "Prison Hell"

I was in Price Chopper the other day, shopping for groceries, when I saw a tabloid that had Paris Hilton on the cover. In case you didn't guess by the title of this post, it was about Paris Hilton's "Prison Hell".

I'm not normally much for celebrity "news", but this case has piqued my interest. She's lucky as hell she got off as easy as she did. First, she skated from the DUI she should have received already. She repeatedly ignored the fact that she lost her license. Getting pulled over on a suspended license in KS gets you arrested.

Also, she hasn't been sentenced to "prison" despite the tabloids' lazy mis-characterization of correctional facilities. She's going to the county jail. Big difference. Once there, she'll be segregated from the rest of the inmates, which is another perk that most schmucks don't get. I understand why celebrities are isolated, but it is better than being in the general population, regardless of the necessity.

Besides, her sentence has already been cut in half for "good behavior". Wow. I wonder if they were referring to her racist diatribe, her repeated public nudity, or her continuing effort to infect the remainder of Hollywood with herpes. We may never know.
