I heard that the reason was that the matron lost her watch during the cavity search. ---

[QUOTE=Flea] I’m guessing that with the kind of lifestyle she’s accustomed to, this had to hit pretty hard. She probably went into a depression, which she’s got a history of. [/QUOTE] You know, if that’s true, I’ll bet this could very well be the answer. As far as how I feel about it: meh. I didn’t think she’d serve 45 days, I didn’t think she’d serve 30. I was hoping she’d have a week in general population or enough time to scare some sense into her a little bit without something bad happening to her. Well, it’s certainly good to have lots of money and connections, huh? The worst part is that people are going to throw this around as a failure of justice. They’ll frickin’ throw this around. They won’t throw around people that spent years in hard labor and then exonerated by DNA, they won’t throw Kevorkian out there as an example or anything, they’ll cite Paris Hilton. If she did have a “hunger strike”, I wouldn’t expect her to get tubed. You’ve got to weigh a cost/benefit enalysis. Is it worth it to tube Paris (heh…I said “tube Paris”) and go that far with it? ---

Unbelievable. You’ve got to love a country like the US, where there’s endless entertainment like this. If I think of it as anything else, I’d spend most of my days slightly angry. Anyway, it’s not as though she was planning on spending the time bettering [_herself_](http://apnews1.iwon.com//article/20070607/D8PK26R00.html): > [@](#): > > “She’s using this time to reflect on her life, to see what she can do to make the world better and hopefully, in my opinion, to change the attitudes that exist about her among many people,” Hutton said after visiting Hilton. The first part of that quote only elicited an eyeroll from me. She want’s to make the world better? :rolleyes: Then I got to the part where it sounds more like she wants the world to change its collective attitude about her. Dear Paris, Yeah, we’ll get right on that. Yours truly, The World ---

Dear Paris, We think you are a disgusting pig. If you want people to change their attitudes about you, serving three days in jail for crimes that would have had a normal person incarcerated for 40 days is not the way to do it. Go screw yourself. -The World [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/paris-hilton-out-of-jail-after-3-days/407113.md?page=1) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/paris-hilton-out-of-jail-after-3-days/407113.md?page=3)
