Paris Hilton: Sentence Reduced for Good Behavior

Paris HiltonParis Hilton has already had her 45-day jail sentence reduced to 23-day for — wait for it — good behavior.

LOS ANGELES — Paris Hilton will serve about half of her 45-day jail sentence and will be separated from the general inmate population, authorities said Wednesday.

The hotel heiress will spend about 23 days in a “special needs housing unit” at the Century Regional Detention Center in suburban Lynwood, Los Angeles County sheriff’s spokesman Steve Whitmore said.

Her sentence was shortened after jail officials gave her credit for good behavior, Whitmore said. Officials considered several factors in calculating the credit, including that she appeared for her latest court date, he said.

Hilton will stay in a unit that contains 12 two-person cells reserved for police officers, public officials, celebrities and other high-profile inmates, he said.

My understanding of “good behavior” credits for jail time (yes, I have some experience in this area) is that the credit applies directly to your behavior while you’re incarcerated.

Jail is a dangerous, uncomfortable, and stressful place, where tensions and tempers can run high. Good behavior credits are used as an incentive to manage inmates behavior.

You shouldn’t get credit for good behavior while your out of jail — it’s what your supposed to do as a member of society. It’s like Chris Rock said:

Niggers always want credit for some shit they’re supposed to do. They’ll brag about stuff a normal man just does. They’ll say something like, “Yeah, well I take care of my kids.” You’re supposed to, you dumb motherfucker. “I ain’t never been to jail.” Whaddya want? A cookie? You’re not supposed to go to jail, you low-expectation-having motherfucker!

She’s getting credit for showing up to court? Paris, you’re supposed to show up for your court date! But even then she showed up late.

Shit, the next time Paris exhibits “good behavior” will be the first time…

i dont feel any sympathy for her whatsoever. i think people should quit paying attention to her. i think that would be much worse for Paris, since she loves the attention. we should all just boycott Paris. she has no talents.

Well, once again the court system, has only proven what we all already know, that it’s dishonest, biased, unfair, favors the rich and prominent and they dare call it a justice system, Ad a big old UN to that word and you’d have it. No wonder they call the liberals, they’re liberated from any common sense, void of any ability to make a rational or moral decision that would benefit anyone including themselves.

Uh, Warren- exactly who is liberal in this story?

The Hiltons are big GOP donors.

Actually, her sentence was higher than what defendants normally get in that courthouse for those type of violations. The fact that she is eligible for early release is by statute. So, again, she is not being treated any different than other defendants beyond the fact that her sentence was on the high side to begin with.

I’m firmly against the death penalty but if there has ever been a more worthwhile cause to support its implication than this waste of space, i’d like to hear about it. :)
