I am a bit prejudiced because of my opinion on confinement overall. I think that sentences should be served to benefit society. In Paris Hiltons case LA county would be much better served if her notoriety was used to help. Martha Stewart was another example how did society benefit from her jail term vs. the alternate of her helping battered women start their own business and take control of their lives?

Martha may have done some of that in jail. I'd be interested to know how many non-famous males with roughly the exact charges she had get as much time as she did.
There may be a bit of class envy but I think the divine Miss H. adds a lot to that with the way she thumbs her nose at regular life. Like getting a DUI is just a nuisance; "my people didn't tell me I couldn't drive . . . "
