I know folks want their pound of flesh but the people most effected by this sort of media circus are the folks working hard to make a living. The rumor is that she developed some sort of rash making it medically prudent to release her (not to mention avoiding the probable law suit). This is one of those subjects that upset a lot of folks but frankly there are much more blatant examples of unfairness in the criminal justice system.

I'm no expert on prisons (though I know a little about jails in Port Aransas, TX and Fayeteville, NC) but don't prisons have hospital sections? At least some of them?
I see what you're saying but I don't buy that it's anything other than money and politics here. But it's L.A. and OJ and Robert Blake are still walking around.
Hell, Kevorkian is half dead from cancer and they kept him in. Imagine him getting released early.
