From the AP:
"LOS ANGELES, California (AP) -- Paris Hilton will serve about half of her 45-day jail sentence and will be separated from the general inmate population, authorities said.
The hotel heiress will spend about 23 days in a "special needs housing unit" at the Century Regional Detention Center in suburban Lynwood, Los Angeles County sheriff's spokesman Steve Whitmore said.
Her sentence was shortened after jail officials gave her credit for good behavior, Whitmore said. Officials considered several factors in calculating the credit, including that she appeared for her latest court date, he said.
Hilton will stay in a unit that contains 12 two-person cells reserved for police officers, public officials, celebrities and other high-profile inmates, he said."
Wait a fucking minute here. She's getting a cut in her sentence for good behavior before she even starts serving it? That's bullshit. Also, since when is bothering to show up to your court date considered "good behavior"? Showing up to your court date should be considered following the fucking law. If authorities expected that people will inherently NOT show up to their court dates, then I could see how showing up would be considered "good behavior." If authorities really want her to learn her lesson, they'll toss her in with the child molesters and murderers. Maybe that will give her a quick reality check that being a rich skank doesn't mean you can get tanked and drive around like a drunken circus monkey.
