Of course she was let off too easily. There's no way someone without her money would've gotten the same treatment.

She'll violate her house arrest and be let off the hook for that, too.

I think she should have done a whole week then I would be better about the results

Unbelievable!! Us regular people would have to do the time. she gets off cause of her "mental state" which means her crying and complaing that she gets only 3 blankets and is so cold in her cell. Makes me hate her even more.

this biotch needs to be thrown in a cage and loose the key

DUH!!!!!!

Yes. What a loser.

i agree with greggie & pink!!!

she's such a wuss. She couldn't live one day in my shoes

she's such a punk b!tch.

of course. what a punk. being in house arrest in HER house is like being on vacation. thats crazy.

As if other people in the WORLD don't suffer mental anguish when they are sent to jail for MUCH, MUCH longer!! To use her mental state as an excuse is just that...AN EXCUSE!!!! IT'S A LOAD OF CRAP!!!

OF COURSE!

yes sexy you are right...drama queen!!!

oopps i mean paris is a drama queen...ugh!! detest her!!! WIMP!! hahahaha!

does the question even need to be asked? of course she was.

Fragile mental state my ass... show me a person who doesn't freak out at being incarcerated!!! It's meant to freak you out, that's why it's meant to be a deterrent to breaking the law, there'd be something wrong with you if the thought of going to prison DIDN"T freak you out. Now show me a person who's been let out of prison after three days because of their so-called "fragile mental state"... as I suspected you're showing me Paris Hilton, because as I suspected she's probably the only person. But of course that's not special treatment at all...

ummmm

she probably had a mental breakdown cause her cell wasn't full of mirrors and we all know she can't go 2 seconds without checking herself out

She is going to have people waiting on her and pampering her the ENTIRE time she's home. I WISH I could stay home for 40 days under those conditions. It is like a vacation. What a wimp. Also, if it were a regular person crying and carrying on in their cell, they would have told them to shut up and deal with it - not let them leave?! Seriously!

Well there goes Paris gettin any "street cred" from bein in the big house. Lol. Oh well.

that's right Kristina...Paris is on home vacation not arrest..

I got my 17 day sentence "reduced" to 30 days house arrest after spending 4 days in jail. The mental anguish cop out can work for normal people too...sometimes. Paris is still a spoiled b*tch though.

Such a pathetic whiner! I dont hate the girl..but she should have spent the 23days in JAIL not house arrest! Money Money Money Money Monah! Money!

I agree with Kiki... getting scared straight is half the point of incarcerating people! People are going to mock her even MORE now that she whined her way out of jail. She may have actually gained an ounce of respect if she served her sentence. Bad PR move there Paris!

Come on Pop...talk about stating the OBVIOUS...so we can now expect her to have at least 3 hours a day for "work"...she'll be shopping by Monday...and it won't be for "religious" items...see ya at Kitson!!!

This whole escapade was such a c*ck tease. I have bene waiting for her to go to jail for weeks . . . and she is out in 3 days? Throw her back in the clink. I hope this is all a ruse to catch her violating the terms of her house arrest and put her away for some real time.

Let's see... on-line shopping, phone calls, emailing, lounging by the pool, in-house massages, personal chef, tanning, naps, visits from family and friends etc... sounds rough.

I couldn't believe it! It's more like she got grounded for three days instead of serving any jail time. Some people are just gosh darn lucky.

Why does everyone care so much? She's harmless. There are other things to get angry about.

she needs to learn how to be an adult and take responsibility...house arrest...big deal...her house is hundreds times better than any house most people would have to live in

Definitely! She should have lasted longer... What kind of msg does it send?

Because it's bugging me...

"Environment" is spelled incorrectly in the poll.

If only we could all cry crazy in jail and get home detention. You know, if any other "jo blow" did that they'd wind up in LA County Hospital! That's SO not hot!

our justice system is just not right!

It's rediculous. She's that weak she can't handle three days in a facility, when she's already being kept away from the majority of the other inmates? I can just imagine what her house is like... how is that any punishment, at all???

She's not harmless. She was driving drunk. Do you know how many people have been killed by drunk drivers? I know a girl who just got 8 years in prison for killing a guy while she was driving drunk. It's not harmless, at all. It's dangerous.

I love how she says "I hope others have learned" not "I've learned"

Alexlove:

I don't think it's that everyone "cares"...but this indeed is a great injustice and it makes the justice system seem like a joke. To "regular" Americans, this is nothing more than a celebrity once again getting off easy. Hilton clearly isn't all that "harmless", as she was caught driving under the influence, and because she made herself into a public figure, there are sadly people out there that idolize her. She is far from harmless.

I agree with all of you who say that she got off too easy!!!
Now she gets to go home and be waited on hadn and foot......yeah tough break! She bothers me so much!

hand* sorry

Hahaha..I love the 95% to 5% poll results

I interned at a public defense office and you would not believe the horrible and stupid things that the clients did and usually got away with. None of the clients that I worked with got sentenced for anything. A couple people did worse things than Paris that involved physically dragging people down the street in a car and got off w/out punishment. So...I don't know if she was given preferntial treatment or not.

Her DUI arrest was questionable as well. There is so much legal debate over breath tests, and often times the breath test doesn't stand in court, especially if the result was close to the minimum. Her prison diaries would've been a fun read tho!

Yes, she was let off easy. Too easy. Ridiculously easy. I don't think I've been this ashamed of our justice system since the OJ case. It's a sham, a mockery, and I'm really angry...probably more than I should be, lol. Paris may be "harmless" ( if you consider drunk driving "harmless" ) but the situation isn't harmless. This is proof that rich people can get away with breaking the law. And that's just not right.

she is such a loser I can't believe I am even commenting

If I lived in a huge mansion with every available amenity... I'd probably be willing to swap a reduced sentence in jail for an extended sentence at home.

Just sayin.
