I finally found the reference that I was looking for regarding the suspension of her drivers license, it seems that her license was suspended after her arrest for DUI and was pulled over three times after that violating her probation.

Hilton will serve her time separated from the general inmate population in a "special needs housing unit" at the Century Regional Detention Center in Lynwood, California, The Associated Press reported. These cells are specifically reserved for high-profile inmates — including celebrities, police officers and prison guards — who might otherwise be targeted by fellow prisoners.

correct. And she's placed in a special area of the prison to avoid problems with other inmates, not to pamper her.
Putting her in with anonymous ruffians would create problems for prison staff, potentially dangerous situations they would like to avoid. It's no different from putting child molesters in a separate area to avoid them being mugged constantly.

You just gotta love it...

"Apparently showing up at your own court case constitutes good behavior in California because Paris Hilton had her 45-day sentence reduced to 23 days due in large part to the fact she showed up at her most recent court date."

It's absolutely ridiculous that she should have her sentence reduced. I do agree that she should be separated from the general inmate population because of the reasons listed above but I don't see how she could have "good behavior" especially considering she hasn't started serving her sentence when they said she had "good behavior". I don't think they can really do anything about the published picture of the joint. Think about how many songs you hear about people and drugs, and how much it is depicted everywhere. I don't think they can convict someone based on that. But it's definitely a good point against her "good behavior".

Lol i think that if she is at least going to have a reduced sentence then the least that they can do is put her in with the rest of the prison population otherwise she will not learn her lesson. The fact that i think alot of governments are forgetting these days is that Prison is a punishment and we need to be treating it more like that and less like party especially for the high profile people.

I work in a carity and it just so happens that one of our big sponsors for this year is the construction company building the new prison in canberra which means that we have been hearing alot of the supposed advantages to this new prison and personally i think that it is a really big Crock! Some of the advantages include.

1. No watch towers around the prison for a more friendly enviroment. Basically the only thing keeping these people in is 2 fences.

2. Televisions in every Cell

3. a seperate less guarded Cell for prisoners transition back into the real world.

Now i don't know about you guys but to me this just sounds like complete BS. Yes these people are human beings but they have broken the law and going to jail used to mean something where as now their lives in prison are probably better then they are on the outside meaning that they would probably rather stay in prison where everything is supplied for them by the tax payer.

We seem to get all these people complaining about how tough some of the indonesian sentences are and how the conditions are awful and that this crap but really i think our countries are the ones that are not harsh enough on these Crims.

I say Paris should serve her full sentence with the rest of the prison populace and with no special treatment.

You watch next thing we know she will be out and claiming unfair treatment by the guards and there will be a massive media uproar about it.

Yeah, she should be serving the same sentence as anyone else, but if she were put in with other normal criminals she is much more likely to get raped, discriminated against, etc. than any other criminal in that prison. That makes her sentence more harsh than it would normally be. The difficult part would be putting her in a high profile prison while not making things any easier for her than they would be in any normal prison.

Why on earth is she famous, i and most of the people i know hate or dont like her at all.

Yeah, I don't like her either. I think she's just famous cause her dad owns those real expensive hotels or something.

I don't think there is that mcuh risk of getting raped in there and also you could amke the same discrimination argument for someone of a different race.

yes it will be ahrd going from rch to a prison system but she at least had a chance and alot of the people in there diddnt have a a chance and yet they don't get any special treatment.

Because (and no offense to the americans) Americans like to feel smart and paris is the perfect person to make them feel that way. I also makes them feel better about not having as much money as her and they figure well if thats the way i would turn out then im glad i don't have that much money. She makes people feel like less of a screw up.

If you do not believe me then just look at her sister. She has grown up in the same situation and the same family name and yet becuase she is not a complete idiot she is nowhere near as famous as paris.
