Paris Hilton goes to jail
p2pnet.net OT news:- Today, Paris Hilton starts her three-week jail sentence for violating her probation in an alcohol-related reckless driving case.
She’ll be in the Century Regional Detention Facility in Lynwood, Los Angeles.
“Hilton surrendered to sheriff’s deputies after making a surprise visit to the MTV Movie Awards in the afternoon,” says Associated Press, going on to to quote her as saying:
“I did have a choice to go to a pay jail. But I declined because I feel like the media portrays me in a way that I’m not and that’s why I wanted to go to county, to show that I can do it and I’m going to be treated like everyone else.
“I’m going to do the time, I’m going to do it the right way.”
Explains AP, “Sometimes stars are allowed to do their time in a jail of their choosing. In such cases they pay a daily room-and-board fee to the smaller jails, which afford them more privacy and comfort.”

Tired of being treated like a criminal? They depend on you, not the other way around. Don’t buy their ‘product’. Do bug your local politicians. Use emails, snail-mail, phone calls, faxes, IM, stop them in the street, blog. And if you’re into organizing, organize petitions, organize demonstrations and then turn up on your local political rep’s doorstep, making sure you’ve contacted your local tv/radio station/newspaper in advance. Don’t just complain. Do something!

That’s something we need to do away with now. Celeberities should be treated as equals under the law, just like everybody else. I despise Hilton, but at least she isn’t taking this wrongful opportunity offered to her.
Then again, it’s only three weeks. And jail is not the same thing as prison.

Well, they coulda offered her an opportunity to make a gangbang video with some mulit-lifer dudes…..really violent ones. YEAH! A snuff film! That’d be kickass.

GUESS WHAT?
THE BITCH JUST GOT SPRUNG OUT OF THE SLAMMER !
Where have you people been?
Hiding under a rock ?
PER FOXNEWS:
The celebrity inmate was sent home from the Los Angeles County jail’s Lynwood lockup shortly after 2 a.m. in a stunning reduction to her original 45-day sentence. She had reported to jail Sunday night after attending the MTV Movie Awards.
She was ordered to finish her sentence under house arrest, meaning she could not leave her four-bedroom, three-bath home in the Hollywood Hills until next month.
City Attorney Rocky Delgadillo said he learned of her release the same way as almost everyone else — through news reports.
Then, late Thursday, he filed a petition questioning whether Sheriff Lee Baca should be held in contempt of court for releasing Hilton — and demanding that she be held in custody. Soon after that, Superior Court Judge Michael T. Sauer decided to haul Hilton back to the courtroom.
“It is the city attorney’s position that the decision on whether or not Ms. Hilton should be released early and placed on electronic monitoring should be made by Judge Sauer and not the Sheriff’s Department,” said Jeffrey Isaacs of the city attorney’s office.
Sauer himself had expressed his unhappiness with Hilton’s release. When he sentenced Hilton to jail last month, he ruled specifically that she could not serve her sentence at home under electronic monitoring.
