This whole thing is stupid IMO. It's more of a class envy issue than legal issue if the elected Sheriff decided to put her on home confinement so be it. I bet its a PIA for the guards to protect her its a waste of valuable resources IMO.

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?
