Paris Hilton Should Not Be in Jail
According to Los Angeles County Sheriff Lee Baca, the only special treatment Paris Hilton received was more time in jail because she’s a celebrity.
In a press conference today Baca said The only thing that I can detect is special treatment is the amount of her sentence, because under our ten percent early release program she would not have served any time in our jail or would have been directly put on a home electric monitoring system. So the special treatment, in a sense, appears to be her celebrity status — she got more time in jail.
The sheriff, who is currently under fire for his decision to reassign Hilton to house arrest, also discussed Hilton’s medical condition, saying that her “increasingly deteriorating problems” were evaluated and added, “This lady has some severe problems.”
She was medicated when she originally entered the jail system … and “I can’t trust her tenuous status,” referring to her mental state. He claims the reason he released her early was because “She was not taking a particular medication while she was in our custody.
This whole thing is completely ridiculous. I truly feel sorry for the poor girl. I’m all about personal accountability, but this whole circus has made a mockery of the judicial system. Yes, Paris should be punished for breaking the law, however, most ordinary citizens committing the same crime would not have received such a harsh sentence. Add to that the fact that she was released, hauled back to court in handcuffs and dragged back to jail, and even a mentally stable person would crack!

Anyone denied their medication in jail should be allowed to arrange for a doctor to prescribe it whilst the person is in there. Any normal medicated person, who cannot have their medications would most likely become severely stressed due to not being able to get their meds. I strongly believe that Paris’ actions were the result of being off her medication, and under these circumstances, any medicated person would probably become emotional and act accordingly.
At least Paris is in the medical wing. So she’ll not be without her medications.
The judge had his reasons for doing what he did, it doesnt make what he did right – if he was upset at the sherriff, then, just maybe, he should have directed his anger at the sherriff, instead of the victim in all of this, (and lets not beat around the bush), Paris.
If a doctor treats a patient like this the patient can sue. Its too bad that the patient cannot sue the judge for cruel and unusual punishment.
I believe the judge needs to update his life skills, and bring himself from the dark ages (lock em up and throw away the key) to more mainstream (lock em up and throw away the key, but, if they require medications to not be a problem for us, make allowances and allow these medications to be prescribed whilst they’re under the care of the sherriff).
