I am not surprised in the least. Obviously the precedent has been set.

Well it is California!

Somehow I doubt they'd be so lenient if I was jailed for a DUI.

already talking about it in the lounge

She was ill it seems. Anyway, who else gets 45 days in jail for beeing caught driving after a few drinks? I would have had her doing street cleaning work rather than waste tax payers money sending her to jail.

One rule for them and another for us, its disgusting

Just heard on Radio BBC Four that "the Sun" (vile rag) is reporting she was let out as she was suicidal. Well, if all people who found themselves on the wrong side of the law tried that where would we be??

With a lot of old buildings in out of the way places being turned into hotels and theme parks.

It wasn't the first time and she was driving on a suspended license.

parole violations for not getting help for drink and drug problems, driving without a license, speeding, drunk driving...it was a long list of offences..and she could have gotten 90 days for it.

She;s back in court on Friday to decide whether she should return to prison. Apparently, if she does she will have to serve 40 days. Los Angeles City Attorney's office have filed a petition demanding LA's Superior Court show why Sheriff Lee Baca should not be held in contempt of court for releasing Ms Hilton.

It seems the Judge is the only one who can make the decision to give her the ankle bracelet. So, the Judge gets to decide on Friday. The same Judge who sent her to prison in the first place

BACK TO JAIL! Paris leaves court screaming and yelling.

Screaming Paris Hilton sent back to jail

Good decision.

There are tons of people in jail who have medical conditions -- cancer, HIV/AIDS, pregnancy, etc -- and they're not given ankle bracelets and released to serve the rest of their sentences under house arrest (mansion or otherwise!). Even those who are suicidal are given medical attention and monitored for their own protection. She shouldn't be treated any differently, medical condition or not.

Sweet! So instead of half her term she's managed to get herself the full lot behind bars. All the obnoxious little brat deserves.

Perhaps there is justice for the haves after all

she wasnt jailed for a dui. but driving on a suspended licence, twice.
