Paris is [on the] loose!

The U.S. legal system has given quite a slap on the wrist to Paris Hilton, who began her jail sentence 3 days ago. Early Thurdsay morning, they released her and ordered her to house arrest for the remainder of her 40 day sentence. In a press conference this morning, exact details about the reason for her release were not given, although medical issues were cited. http://tmz.com speculates that Paris would could not eat the prison food, and she was growing weak.

I don't know if I am more upset that she was released after only 3 days, or if she was released before the media frenzy surrounding her died down. I am so sick of hearing about Paris Hilton's hair extensions, color contact lenses, what she does and doesn't eat behind bars, etc. They are making her out to be some huge victim for being sent to jail for a traffic violation, when she had the choice to be in a low-profile jail, or go to the county jail. And she was in her own cell where she was in lockdown 23 hours out of the day and in the special area of the jail where she wasn't interacting with the general population. And now she's on house arrest (I can think of some worse houses to be in house arrest than Paris Hilton's). I'm sure she can have all the visitors she wants and do whatever she wants as long as she doesn't leave the hosue. So boo-hoo, Paris. Way to pay for your crimes.
