Paris Hilton’s Jail Term, Taken Seriously
By Mike Nizza
June 14, 2007, 8:42 am
Paris Hilton on her way back to the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department. Who would’ve guessed that Paris Hilton would help “underscore the profound effect of the Sheriff’s Department’s early-release program” in Los Angeles?
That’s part of what the Los Angeles Times has concluded after analyzing 2 million jail releases and finding 1,500 comparable cases since July 2002. Following up on all that outrage over what many saw as unequal application of justice after her release, the newspaper has found, in short, that she’s doing more time than most people:
Had Hilton left jail for good after four days, her stint behind bars would have been similar to those served by 60 percent of those inmates.
But after a judge sent her back to jail Friday, Hilton’s attorney announced that she would serve the full 23 days. That means that Hilton will end up serving more time than 80 percent of other people in similar situations.
In the article, one of the loudest critics of the early release of Ms. Hilton is quoted saying the data persuaded him to alter his view. “The rules of fairness should be applied equally,” said Najee Ali, director of Project Islamic Hope.

Interesting... any other minds out there possibly changing based on these new statistics, if entirely accurate?? I dont really know how true these percentages are, but lets pretend that are dead accurate... would anyone re-assess their stance and harsh words about her getting special treatment (re: being released and told she could serve teh rest under house arrest) bc she a celebrity?

| quote: | Hilton drops 'dumb act' in jail
New York
June 12, 2007 - 9:11AM
Imprisoned hotel heiress Paris Hilton believes God has given her a new chance and says she plans to stop acting dumb and to instead put her influence to good use.
Hilton called television journalist Barbara Walters yesterday from the medical wing of a Los Angeles jail where she is being held for violating probation in a drink-driving case. Walters recounted the conversation on her ABC television show, The View.
"I'm not the same person I was," Hilton told Walters.
"I used to act dumb. It was an act. I am 26 years old, and that act is no longer cute. It is not who I am, nor do I want to be that person for the young girls who looked up to me.
"I know now that I can make a difference, that I have the power to do that. I have been thinking that I want to do different things when I am out of here. I have become much more spiritual. God has given me this new chance."
Hilton was ordered back to jail on Friday after a judge over-ruled a sheriff's decision to place her under house arrest the day before because of psychological problems.
She had spent three days of an expected three-week term behind bars.
Walters said Hilton told her she had not been wailing, sobbing or screaming during her first three days in prison, as had been reported.
She asked Hilton what had led to her being "re-assigned' to house arrest.
"I was not eating or sleeping. I was severely depressed and felt as if I was in a cage. I was not myself. It was a horrible experience," Hilton said.
"I feel as if I'm a different person," said the Hilton Hotel heiress, known for her party-going lifestyle. "I've dropped my appeal. I don't want to cause any more problems."
Though distraught at the decision to return her to prison, Hilton said in a statement released through her lawyers on Saturday that she would not appeal.
"I told my attorneys not to appeal the judge's decision," Hilton said, describing being in jail as "by far the hardest thing I have ever done".
Hilton's reassignment to serve her sentence under house arrest by Los Angeles County Sheriff Lee Baca sparked national outrage and accusations of preferential treatment because of her celebrity status.
She was sentenced last month to 45 days in jail, but with good behaviour, Walters said, Hilton was due to be released on June 25 after serving 23 days.
"I feel that the purpose of my life is to be where I am," Hilton told Walters. "My spirit or soul did not like the way I was being seen and that is why I was sent to jail. God has released me."
When she is released, Hilton said, she might like to help in the fields of breast cancer or multiple sclerosis, diseases that her grandmothers suffered, or build a "Paris Hilton playhouse" for sick children.
Hilton, who said other inmates had been friendly, added that her skin was very dry because she was not allowed any moisturiser.
"It doesn't matter," she said, "I'm not that superficial girl. I haven't looked in the mirror since I got here."

Oh gawd, I'm going to really hate this "new" Paris Hilton now. I didnt mind the other one, but a new "spiritual" Hilton? Jesus. Dont even wanna deal w/ hearing of what she'll do "in god's name" bc of her inspiration she's found from god.
And are you kidding me? Her soul didnt like the way she was acting, so god had her sent to prison, ??? !!! jesus, this new paris is annoying me already, much like the old one did for most ppl on here. Ugh.
Cant deal with spiritual Hilton
