Paris Hilton does not belong in jail!

[King Coal]

Let her stay out. That girl could not stand jail. For her, it would be cruel and unusual punishment.
The sheriff did the right thing.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

1. are you fucking joking me? i dont care about paris one way or the other

but to think that just because someone is a rich kid, they are beyond punishment, because punishment to them is cruel and unusual is beyond ridiculous

[H2O Man]

6. Two things

that you may not be aware of:

{1} They attempted to give Paris a hot dog & beans for lunch.

{2} Paris felt sad.


Surely her name belongs on the short list with Nelson Mandela.

[babylonsister]

13. Oh, the humanity! She - gasp! - felt sad?

:rofl:

[H2O Man]

18. She did.

This is evidence that she is no mere "poor little rich girl." Few human beings have demonstrated the capacity to feel sad in jail. Poor people love incarceration: that's why they are always crowding into the cells.

[ChairmanAgnostic]

33. exactly.

I do believe that Babs Bush might have made a few brilliant insights along those lines.

[treestar]

43. I often hear wingnuts assert that people like jail

It is a roof over their head and 3 square meals per day for free!

But for Paris, it is a step down. No wonder she couldn't take it!

"Surely her name belongs on the short list with Nelson Mandela." OMG...that's so funny, H2O Man!:rofl:

125. I can only conclude

that you are in complete agreement with me on this. The book she penned while in the pen will be better than Mandela's "Long Walk to Freedom." My guess is that it will take "Soul On Ice" off the charts.

This subthread is cracking me up!!! Beans and Franks,

126. She is lucky --I have seen things served that could not be identified, hotdogs are premium meals...

Honestly, our jails used to serve three(3) meals a day for each inmate for less than $1/day.

I have seen things delivered to inmates that no one could identify.

She should be so lucky.

37. Why is the answer in America to throw someone in jail?

I strongly disagree with unequal application of the law.

But why does America have more people in prison, both absolutely and proportionally, than any country on Earth?

The only reason people are screaming for Hilton to be in jail is because we have become conditioned to think this way by the police state.

Hilton's problem is substance abuse and jail is not the best way to fix it.

I am aware if it was me I would be still sitting in jail. But that doesn't change the fact that jail is not where Paris Hilton belongs.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

40. thats fine. i find the idea that jail is cruel and unusual punishment ONLY for her and her type

to be ridiculous.

[tabasco]

45. It is ridiculous.

The republicans have made it this way with their worship of money above all else.

It is a crime to be poor in America.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

46. that was my objection. i think we jail too much as well.

but just cos someone is rich, is not the reason he/she shoudlnt be in jail.

[RaleighNCDUer]

82. Not so ridiculous as all that.

How many people having to do a 30 day sentence are immediately put into isolation because putting them in the general population would be a threat to their health, safety, or even life?

Considering the hatred I see here, coming from reasonably liberal, enlightened people, how do you think the really sad cases you'd find in jail would respond to the 'spoiled, rich bitch, white chick'? Sure, half the people in jail are just regular folk, but the other half are angry, delusional, dangerous and insane, who NOBODY should have to spend time with. Those people would generally ignore regular inmates, but a celebrity inmate would draw them like flies. So she goes into solitary confinement, for her own protections - and solitary confinement IS cruel and unusual when applied to short term, non-dangerous prisoners.

What she needs is house arrest and a mandatory treatment program - maybe repeated viewing of those 'Blood on the Highway' films we used to see in HS. Jail, for her and for 50% of the current jail population, is really unnecessary.

[fujiyama]

141. House Arrest?

Seriously? What kind of punishment is that? She lives in a fucking mansion....with all the material needs and wants a person could ever desire.

Part of justice IS punitive. She broke the law. She needs to face the consequences. And if that means taking the risk of dealing with "public school bitches" so be it. She may have learned a thing or two having to interact with the general prison population.

And spare me this "oh she's a celebrity and could be a target" bullshit. Either we live under the same justice system - or don't.

[ProudDad]

145. For once

I think you're wrong. I'm as anti-jail and prison as they come, I feel that in 99.999% of all cases they make things worse rather than better.

But...

This is a rich, privileged scoff-law who AIN'T gonna' get it until she's kicked in the head.

I DO feel a little pity for her because she was sent into jail, got out and was sent back in. That's pretty cruel but the the system is USUALLY cruel, unusual and counter-productive.

But I'm hoping that she "gets it" this time and stops threatening people's LIVES with her behavior and begins questioning her obvious sense of "entitlement" just a little.


Let me tell you a couple of things that you probably don't know -- 23 days of "solitary" in the VIP cells at LA county are a FUCK of a lot better than one day in general population.

You also have your percentages way off -- In jail, about 1 out of 20 inmates are at all "delusional, dangerous and insane, who NOBODY should have to spend time with." Most are minding their own business, doing their own time. In prison, the odds are a little more weighted toward the more violent but that's just because that's the way the state wants it.

[High Plains]

104. Thank you. The punishist posse exists on DU, too.

[Xmark]

48. Yes, that's right. How badly she felt is neither here nor there.

Jail isn't supposed to be a pleasant experience!!

She simply needs to live with the consequences, period. Other inmates have to struggle with adjustments...SO CAN SHE.

[King Coal]

51. Well, then, the other inmates should be movie stars too!

You don't put celebrities like Paris in jail! Why can't you understand that?

[Xmark]

54. movie star (?????) or not

she needs to buck-up and live with it.

[H2O Man]

55. Know weigh.

The Constitution illegalizes crude and unusual punishment. But Paris was sad. Most inmates enjoy incarceration, and return to the comforts of the prison setting over and again. They are as different from Paris as she is from them.

[King Coal]

58. Sad? Just sad? The poor girl was mortified.

Who could be mean to Paris? How would you like to be Paris, and get locked up?

[H2O Man]

60. I think the

home sentence is a bit stiff. She should maybe be sentenced to a nice vacation, just a little European get-away with a few of her friends.

[redwitch]

92. I would like to be incarcerated at a Hilton Mansion for 30 days.

Is she allowed to have friends over? Or is she, like, totally grounded?

[fujiyama]

142. Could I be locked up in the Hilton Mansion

WITHOUT Paris Hilton?

If it's WITH her, then I suppose it'd be like being sent to hell...having to spend time with someone so empty headed and shallow.

[Marrah_G]

[Marrah_G]

78. Well... I've seen some pretty bizzare opions over the years, nothing surprizes me anymore

[H2O Man]

2. Jail made

her feel sad. Few prisoners have ever experienced that feeling.

[sharp_stick]

38. There will now be a rash of lawsuits

all sad prisoners will be suing to complete their time under house arrest because they feel sad in stir.

[EST]

3. Perhaps she should have considered the possible ramifications of

her actions and automatic assumptions of superiority before engaging in those actions.
Her unjustified release is a slap in the face to anyone who has or might run afoul of the "laws" and it undermines the very notion of "nation of laws, not men."

[mac56]

4. Joking, I'm sure.

:eyes:

[gollygee]

5. Yeah but other kids her age who get arrested for similar offenses

are in jail, and for them it isn't cruel and unusual punishment? What makes it cruel and unusual for her in particular? Why isn't it also cruel and unusual for kids who are not so white and not so wealthy? The issue is that she's being treated differently.

[koopie57]

7. let her out

but rather than sending her home send her to work as a nanny for a single mother working two jobs and living in the inner city.

[gollygee]

10. I wouldn't want her to work as a nanny for my kid

:scared:

[koopie57]

15. *LOL*

You have a point there!

[erpowers]

24. Her Show

There was a episode of her and Nicole Richie's show were they babysat kids at a party. It was pretty bad. Richie did the worst thing of getting the family's kid mixed up with some other family's kid, but Paris was not that much better. I do not really remember the details of the show, but I think Paris really did not listen to the family on how to take care of the kids, especially the youngest kid. I think at time she really did neglect the youngest kid. So I think you are right she most likely would not be a good babysitter for the inner city mother unless the mother threatened her with bodily harm. I think that might lead to the mother being put in jail and nobody would want that.

No, I am not a regular watcher of Paris Hilton's show. On that day I was just flipping through the channels trying to find something to watch. I happened to find Hilton's show, which was the episode were her and Richie were to plan a birthday party for a toddler and watch the kid during the day. In addition, to what I said before Hilton cursed at the kids birthday party. I think she said the "b" word.

[Dorian Gray]

29. You'd saddle a single mother

trying to make her way in theis world with that irresponsible idiot? :)

I say make her clean the garbage off the highways.

8. They wouldn't even let her bring in a Prada version of the striped jumpsuit!

So cruel.

9. Really. I mean, she's white. Her panties cost more than the prison guards make in a year.

Where is the justice for the privileged and entitled? I mean, her daddy probably got the Sheriff elected.

12. Do the crime...

Do the time.

[Cerridwen]

14. Neither do a lot of other people who are in jail

But they don't get the media attention, or have the bucks, or have the celebrity and power to get out.

How can anyone see this as a "justice" system if the rich and powerful get a "get out of jail free" card when the "least" of us have no such luxury?

This is just further and irrefutable evidence that our legal system has nothing to do with justice.

[beyurslf]

16. If other people who commit similiar crimes get the same sentence, then she

should serve the same thing. But, all in all, I really don't care what happens to Paris. She is famous for being a rich daddy's girl, right?

[Odin2005]

17. Make her do community service for a year.

[erpowers]

Good Idea

I think that is a good idea. I do not know how effective she would be since what had been seen of her so far is that she does not like to take too many things seriously. However, I think she should be required and forced to work with poor inner city kids, hopefully the ones who are working hard trying to get out of their bad neighorhood. Maybe seeing that there is a group of people who want so much to succeed, but have nowhere near the money she has will make Hilton at least try to make the world a better place.

I think that is also something that makes some people angry with the Hilton sentence. Hilton has a ton of money with which she could really try to change the world for the better. Even if she does not want an education she could give money to schools or setup scholarships for kids who do not have the means to get the education they want.

36. That for her is truly cruel and unusual punishment

[Philosoraptor]

25. Agreed, the wealthy & beautiful deserve a higher form of justice.

[ShaneGR]

32. This just isnt true, even the Sherriffs department questions her sentence....

First off, its not uncommon, because of overcrowding, for the Department to release non violent first offenders after having served less than 10% of their sentence. Second off, even the Sherriffs spokesman questioned the 25 day jail sentence for a non violent driving infraction. The fact is, she got MORE time than the average person because she's wealthy and a celebrity. Not the other way around.

[Philosoraptor]

41. I think they were just sick of hearing her pitiful sobbing.

[mac56]

44. "she got MORE time than the average person because she's wealthy and a celebrity"

Bullshit.

[Zodiak]

72. I thought it was because she had contempt for the law

she didn't show up to her trial, right? Or maybe it was her sentencing?

Regardless, the fact that Paris felt that she didn't have to follow the rules like the little people do is precisely why she should serve her full sentence. This early release crap is bullshit and a slap in the face to all of those that have to follow the law and cannot afford good representation.

74. we are not discussing a 20+ year old with a sub machine gun..but driving is a privilege

and she could easily mow down a bunch of cops drinking or doing drugs driving..or mow down a bunch of young children or take out a family in a car..by mowing them down with an automobile while intoxicated!!

like i said there are consequences for illegal behavior..no one should be above the law!! and this is not her first time..so if we give her a pass again..what is next time?. a dead family..or a mom with a child in the car..or a dad and the family is left without the father..what??

how many passes does a rich 20 + get over everyone else's 20+ kid??

I was hit head on by a 21 year old in Los Angeles..who's parents had just turned the insurance into his name..he had $15,000 dollars of insurance..he was on drugs..

my hand was shattered..and my foot was shattered..
my car was totalled..i went through several surgeries..and 4 years of therapy..and nerve damage to my elbow..to get 2% use of my hand..today as i get older..i have a hard time walking and shuffle alot to hide the pain in my foot that was shattered ( yes i am vain about it) ...and yet i know...i was lucky..i wasn't killed..and i had to sue my own insurance..for under insured..and then had to go through awful depositions and humiliation by the insurance company to get any monetary relief of my medical bills...

the young man had to pay the consequences..he went to jail a lot longer than 23 days..and i ALWAYS FEEL GUILT OF THAT..but that was the consequences of his behaviour.

i still have only 2% use of my left hand..its why my typing is so damn lousy!!

I used to love to play the piano..a joy in life to me..now i can only play with my right hand..that was taken away from me..as well as many other things...to numerous to write about..

and it took a year of my life with casts on my foot and hand..on opposite sides..so i couldn't even use crutches!!

i was out of work for a very long time and then had to prove i could do my job after years of rehab...and hard work to get my skills back..

and today my right hand is getting carpel tunnel because it takes on all the work of both hands..and aches very badly most of the time..

yes there are consequences for breaking the law..and this girl needs to learn them before she kills someone ..or someone's. Or destroys others lives.

Where's your little :sarcasm: thingie???

65. This issue really has little to do with Paris personally

It doesn't matter who she is except that she's rich and famous. The point here is that there are two justice systems in this country, one for the rich and/or famous and one for the rest of us. Whether it was Paris or some other rich person doesn't make a difference. If a poor "nobody" received this sentence, you can be certain they would have to fulfill it and I'm betting even if they had a very serious medical condition they would have to stay in jail. This whole episode enrages me when I think about it but not because I like or don't like Paris Hilton.

Brandy responds, files lawsuit on crash
May 31, 2007, 03:01 AM

LOS ANGELES, May 30 (UPI) — Singer Brandy and another driver in a fatal December auto accident in Los Angeles blame each other in lawsuits each filed against the other.

Mallory Ham sued Brandy, full name Brandy Norwood, for negligence and motor vehicle damage, E! News reported. The suit filed last week said the Moesha star carelessly and negligently owned, operated, entrusted, leased, repaired, modified, maintained and/or controlled a 2007 Land Rover Range Rover so as to cause a multi-vehicle accident that severely injured plaintiff Mallory Ham and killed another person.

Norwood countersued Ham, contending that Ham caused the fatal crash.

She's just responding to pieces of litigation as they come in, Brandy attorney Edwin McPherson told E! News.

Norwood also responded to the three other suits filed as a result of the four-car collision in which Awatef Aboudihaj died in a hospital of injuries she received when struck by another vehicle.

I knew a man that hung himself in jail. His offense was a DWI (which is serious given the danger) but for having to spend a night in jail, it wasn't worth it (could have took his license and impounded the car instead). Jail should be for violent offenders or flight risks. Carry on. I'll add traitors like Libby (should stay in jail a long time).

[Cleita]

93. I agree but not for your reasons.

I don't think alcohol or drug related infractions should be punished by jail time unless there was a crime committed involving a victim like manslaughter, murder or rape for instance. A simple DUI, which is what Hilton did should have put her into rehab and resulted in her driver's license being revoked for a year or more. That's where they all belong who have committed alcohol or drug violations, not jail. A parole violation, which is what I believe got her sent to jail is certainly overkill. She's just a rich spoiled brat, but not a felon.

Certainly, we can spend our tax money on real felons. Taking away her driver's license for a year and making her do community service every week for a year would accomplish, I believe, what the judge was trying to do, teach her a lesson without the excessive, draconian punishment. All it did was complicate matters with someone who can afford all those lawyers and psychiatrists to achieve what it turns out it did.

[Connie_Corleone]

94. Her driver's license was suspended and she was on probation.

She violated her probation by continuing to drive with a suspended license. That's why she got the jail time.

[Cleita]

97. It's still overkill.

She's not a felon, just someone who believes driving laws are for the little people. I think putting her out on the freeway picking up trash for a certain number of hours a week for six months should be sufficient. Everytime, she violates her probation, they should add more hours a week and more months until she gets the picture. I would certainly use jail as a last resort and only if for instance if she actually does commit a felony like assaulting someone, maybe the judge.

If she goes to jail for this, that will set a precedent that everyone will go jail for minor infractions who can't afford all the lawyers and psychiatrists that she can.

[kestrel91316]

121. Driving while suspended is rightfully considered a pretty serious

crime because it shows CONTEMPT FOR THE JUSTICE SYSTEM, which until that point had given her the benefit of the doubt and not jailed her right away.

She violated the public trust.

[Cleita]

128. You have a good point but still she

hasn't really committed a crime involving a victim except herself. Beverly Hills and Bel Air are full of snotty, entitled little heirs and heiresses like her, who break the law all the time because they can. Yet, daddy's money always bails them out and there really isn't much you can do about it as long as there wasn't a car accident with death or injuries involved.

[kestrel91316]

151. When you're in the public eye, it's harder to get away with

cheating the system or buying off the judge. She should have known that.

Real quote from the New York Post. :puke:

[Bucky]

101. This whole conviction trauma has been punishment enough for her.

If anything, I think LA County probably owes this poor woman a refund.

Sure, you can say she has enough money on her own as it is. But can you really put a price tag on justice?

[leftyladyfrommo]

105. I agree with you. She is caught in the middle of an absolutely

horrible circus. I'm starting to feel really sorry for her.

One attorney said this morning that most people who had done what she did would never have spent anytime in jail. The jails are too overcrowded. Somebody off the stree would have been sentenced and then would have spent 10% of their sentence in actual jail time.

But because she is so famous she got the book thrown at her - just to show that rich people aren't given special deals.

I don't really care at this point. This thing is a circus.

113. Waaaaaah, donate to the Paris HIlton's fund!

[ProudDad]

149. Oh yeah

"One attorney said this morning that most people who had done what she did would never have spent anytime in jail. The jails are too overcrowded. Somebody off the street would have been sentenced and then would have spent 10% of their sentence in actual jail time."

Unimpeachable source :sarcasm: Total bullshit....

She didn't even do 1/10th of her "time"... Now she will.

[Quantess]

106. Community Service would have sufficed.

Something like, making her pick up garbage along the freeway, for a month. That would also have been a terrible punishment for her. And that way, she's be doing something for her community instead of being a goldbrick.

[Renew Deal]

108. The straw that broke the camels back was disrespecting the judge.

Showing up late to court is not smart.

[Renew Deal]

107. Who belongs in jail?

No one. So WTF are you talking about. She's earned her stay as much as anyone. 2 crimes including a probation violation and late to court. She's earned it.

[firefox_fan]

112. I suppose the OP meant that if you are poor and uneducated, jail is not so bad

compared to not being in jail.

[Renew Deal]

116. Oh, the Barbara Bush mindset.

Interesting :freak:

[Cessna Invesco Palin]

109. And the award for best subversive non-use of the sarcasm tag ever...

...goes to Coal King!

[DemGa]

110. The media has decided we talk about Paris Hilton

and so we do.

I think Al Gore mentioned something about this sort of thing.

[firefox_fan]

111. The argument: Because she is a spoiled jerk jail is too harsh for her...

Tough, I'd say. Jail is cruel and unusual punishment for anybody who's not been in jail before!

[yurbud]

114. she should make community service pornos instead--or give free conjugal visits at the man jail

[Swamp Rat]

115. LOL!

[Quixote1818]

118. I am not a big fan of Jail time for things like this but this girl needs a hard lesson

and since most Black and Hispanic girls who do the same thing get jail time Paris most definitely should as well.

[Jack Rabbit]

119. Bring me the head of Paris Hilton!!

To which Paris replies, "Okay, but let me get the video equipment set up first. While Jeeves is doing that, you can pull down your pants and lay down."

[kestrel91316]

120. Boohoo. If she wanted to stay out of jail she shouldn't have driven drunk

the SECOND TIME, after she already got convicted.

The judge was lenient once, and that spoiled twit violated his trust. Throw her back in and let her cry.

[Xenotime]

122. 100% agree! Keep Paris free

[burythehatchet]

127. You right. Prison food makes Paris farty and bloated.

[LisaL]

137. Actually, her skin got so dry in there because she was not allowed

to moisturize. The horror, the horror of it all.

[Madspirit]

131. k&r...n/t

[Generator]

132. You bleeding heart liberals are at it again!

(IS DU becoming a Colbert Nation skit or is it just me?)

Well, you are actually probably correct for her-it's the end of the ego consciousness-it's practically a peyote trip. But, I really believe suffering is good for the soul. Not torture, but you know, hard times. It's how you gain empathy and character. But maybe she doesn't deserve that, which means actually you don't want what's best for her. Sometimes tough love really is love.

[Contrary1]

133. Tell it to the mother

of the paraplegic son who was sent to jail for smoking pot.


Oh yeah...he died there after a few days.

[d_b]

140. you

[fortyfeetunder]

144. Sorry I don't agree

Had Paris been a Paris Jones from South Central LA, there would have been no negotiation.
Glad she's back to serve the full sentence and hope something good comes out of it...

[cui bono]

146. That's your reason???

Gimme a fucking break.

152. If they really wanted to treat her cruelly

they'd force her to learn to write words and stuff, and count cash, maybe stacks of nickels with her bare hands...

I think they should let her out, send her home with that GPS unit on her leg, attached with a chain to a front end loader tire, and just for fun, send the REST of the women in that jail to HER HOUSE under House arrest..

The ROOF, the ROOF, the ROOF is on FIRE!

Yo, Paris, where da Caviate?
