Very few folks serve their entire sentence today...simply not enough room. I'd much rather see Paris sitting in her mansion wearing her ankle bracelet than Joe Sixpack who gets loaded and beats his wife and kids half to death every night back on the street. In a perfect world, EVERYONE would be treated the same but that's not what we have...as I said in an earlier post, I get a lot more worked up when Hurricane Carter sits and rots while cold-blooded killers like William Zanzinger walk away laughing!

the issue isn't finding the solution that makes the prison staff happy.
she skated lightly and its not fair. Also the choice isn't either/or, either this guy you refer to that beats his wife and kids half to death every night, OR Paris Hilton. There is room for both I'm sure. I just think its a bad example if when a celebrity is given time that we have to consider the media and their mental health etc.
