LA Sheriff Says Paris Hilton Too Sick for Jail - Go Home!

Hotel heiress Paris Hilton was released from prison on Thursday for medical reasons after serving just over three days of a 23-day sentence but she will be confined to her home for 40 days, LA County Sheriff officials said.

Spokesman Steve Whitmore of the Los Angeles County Sheriff's office said Hilton had been "reassigned" but he declined to identify her medical condition for privacy reasons.

The 26-year-old hotel Hilton Hotel heiress and star of reality television show "The Simple Life" was originally sentenced to 45 days in prison.

That was later reduced to 23 days under state sentencing guidelines.

She was released in the early hours of Thursday and Whitmore said she would be credited with five days incarceration, including Sunday and Thursday, even though she actually only spent three full days in prison.

One reporter described Hilton's job as going to parties and events and asked if she would be allowed to leave her home for work, just as lifestyle media star Martha Stewart could during her five months under house arrest for insider trading.

She was housed in a unit for celebrities and high-profile inmates at a prison in Lynwood, about 15 miles from Los Angeles.

Jail authorities said Hilton was kept alone in her cell, an enclosure 8 feet wide, 12 feet deep and 8 feet high, equipped with two bunks, a sink, a small table, a slit window and a metal toilet. About like a Day’s Inn.

Im curious as to what illness this might be.Well...at least she got 3 days of rest before she has to serve that modified sentence in the hostile confines of her home!

she's lucky to be in that juristiction...

because Sherriff Joe Arpaio in Maricopa county AZ
sure would have made room for her & the 'condition'
at the Tent City they operate there in Phoenix

This just reinforces the fact that in America there are two sets of rules. If this had been a normal working class person, she would have done the time, and most likely the whole 45 days.

It's things like this that undermine the public confidence in the system.

Preferential treatment for the wealthy or well connected or proper family connections and the accompanying arrogance is one of the main reasons I am "counter culture" and border line "outlaw."

And why the "common man" tolerates this arrogance, silently and uncomplaining, is one of life's biggest mystery's to me.

I hate this term; "sheeple" but it's the only explanation that works for me.

While Paris gets to go home, some other poor schmuck has to serve his time in the tank, with all the other poor schmucks that were convicted of her same offense.

There is no justice in America!!!

I wouldn't be surprised if it was mental illness. WOW! she does have the Simple Life.

This doesn't suprise me at all. In fact, what does suprise me is the fact that whe was required to serve any time at all.

There are two Americas - one for the well-heeled, wealthy and elite and then one for the rest of us. Even though I'm not suprised, I'm disgusted. This is why I have ZERO faith in the government or the judicial system.

The evidence swims around us daily. The fixed Republican debates that allow the establishment to showcase their candidates while ignoring the others under the guise of a "Debate." The barely a slap on the wrist sentences handed down to people like Hilton. Tax breaks for the wealthy. Amnesty and Visa programs designed to benefit the rich aristocratic business owners. Trade deficits with China that benefit the elite. And on and on and on and on...

I've got news for the "Establishment"... keep it up and keep it in our faces. There is a tsunami of discontent brewing among us "Commoners" and sooner or later this is gonna blow up in your faces. We see what you are doing; we are not blind to it. Even the "Sheeple" that you thought you had fooled are becoming increasingly aware AND fed up with it. Your days are numbered and you can count on it.

You guys forgot to mention her "re-beautifying" party her friends are throwing fro her at her estate. SHE HAD TO GO 3 DAYS (got credit for 5) WITHOUT MOISTURIZER!!!! (no joke)...

Pardon me I just threw-up in my mouth. Please someone wake me the [SNIP]

There has to be more to this Paris Hilton than is immediately apparent.

What, exactly, is she famous for?

And why is the Australian media pushing her and the non-news surrounding her, down Aussies' throats (as well as, apparently, Americans') ?

We neither know about nor care re: Paris Hilton.

Yet in our evening tv news (oxymoron right there) the talking heads breathlessly announce that something named Paris Hilton is to go to jail for driving under the influence --- in the US. Not in Australia. In the US.

There are approx. 300 million Americans.

Presumably, several thousand of them are sentenced to jail time for driving under the influence each week. So why is this creature named Paris Hilton singled out for attention and deemed 'news' in far off Australia (which, if the media has decided drunk-driving is 'news', has a few hundred thousand drunk drivers right here, 90% of whom are a damn sight more entertaining than this Hilton character/cartoon).

No, there has to be more to it. The media doesn't waste precious space featuring nobodies-famous-for-nothing unless there's an agenda.

So what is Hilton ---- a 'trigger' mechanism similar to Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, which allegedly activates some of the multiple personalities supposedly lurking in the minds of those programmed by Black projects?

What other news coincides with the Hilton creature's appearance on the tv screen ... tsunamis, school shootings, financial collapses, Amendinejhad's rants? Will have to watch closely.

Or, perhaps the droopy Hilton-nose contains a subliminal message? Or maybe it's the stoned expression or the stupidly hanging-open mouth?

There has to be a reason the MSM is pushing this stupid looking thing in everyone's face. It's not as if anyone cares what she does. It's not as if what she does is remotely interesting.

It's the same with the cretinous Britney Spears and lobotomised Lohan.

As if the MSM is intent on convincing the world that the US has hit rock bottom to the extent it's now advertising its moral bankruptcy via images of wasted, moronic, addicted females whose only talents consist of exposing their genitalia and driving drunk.

Dock6, you got it, bud. We're living in the land that sense forgot here in the old US of A. I've got dogs that are more interesting to watch, and likely to be smarter, than most of the idols our media follows around.

But that's the mush fed to the millions in place of real news.

It's a shame that we don't see more TV sets out by the curb waiting on the trash man.

What? That is a load of......
Does this mean if I get sent to jail and get very sick, can I go home? No, I don't think she should be given any special treatment what so ever. What this simply states, is that if you have money you can break the law and never see a jail cell.

She's famous for being famous. Just having money and being a socialite who calls the paparazzi and gives them her schedule to make sure someone's always there to take her picture. Really just a talentless media creation. Now she's going to speak with Barbara Walters about her horrible 3 day prison stay.

We need the draft back for a short while. Send all these snobbish little twits into a real life situation. And I'm talking Hilton, and Cruise and the whole bunch. Let Brad Pitt get some real world time as a platoon leader.

Hell, it would make this stupid war interesting for a change, instead of so depressing.

this makes me mad cause when i when to jail for my first driving under the influence( i think it was her forth and a violation of probation) i had a broken foot....

did they care, they didn't even help me walk to have my picture taken, no crutches no cane, no hand

Well dont that suck, If I ever in jail I think I will be ill aswell lol

Wow, this clearly shows that Judge Michael T. Sauer's "hardline stance" (no shortened sentance, no choice of location) was absolutely worthless.

Must be rough serving a sentance, confined to a mansion the size of a city block, with servants waiting on you hand and foot.

I want in on the ground floor of a new and 'coming' occupation. We've all heard of this in connection with motherhood. Well, if the price is right, I'll be a surrogate prisoner for up to a year. ( I would consider longer, but at my age I can't be sure I could fulfill the contract. )

Justice for the rich has taken such an "odd" turn, this idea surely has merit.

This is not a shock, and double standards are as American as apple pie. I just wish she could have completed the time in there. It could have actually been therapeutic for her. Normally I don't look at prison as a rehabilitative environment and for the average person it usually isn't.

For Paris though (sequestered from the potentially dangerous populace and practically alone) this would be an opportunity to be separated from all the cosmetic distractions that she defines herself by, and time alone to actually deal with herself.

I think the prospect of having to deal with your own thoughts is frightening for her. I can't help but feel bad for someone so hopelessly lost. Her parents should be doing more than just allowing her to live like this. From her actions she seems to have no real concept of responsibility and apathy.

Yes folks surprisingly another elite member of society gets off the hook. Hey, Lizzie Grubman got away with worse.

Well it comes down to the simple fact in the American saga that if you have plenty of money and given generous amounts of it to influential candidates . . . they will come back and help you brake out of jail.

I heard that their family gave good money to Arnold's campaing.

A good demonstration of our legal system----the rich can buy their way out of anything. WHO WOULDN'T BE DEPRESSED IN JAIL!!
