Jail Time for Paris

Yes - Paris will definitely learn her lesson via this rather stressful ordeal! I'm a little disappointed with the way the judge has been handling this situation - one minute Paris is supposed to participate in the court proceedings by phone, and the next he's ordered a sheriff's car to pick her up and bring her to the courthouse in person! (?) Does the judge have ADHD? Why couldn't the judge have worked more co-operatively with the parties concerned when Paris was released to serve her sentence at home? Obviously, there was a judgment made that Paris' well-being was in question - and I have a hard time believing that someone just flipped a coin and decided that she didn't have to stay at the jail!

It's a little galling, and a little unbelievable, that there is so much talk about how Paris' sentence should be handled just like anybody else's! Paris Hilton has never been treated like just anyone - and has always received special treatment - and now, all of a sudden, she's supposed to be treated just like everyone else - and in the worst way possible, by being sent to jail? And this is supposed to be fitting for her? It's not - she has no skills to cope with something like this - and shame on anyone for expecting her to.

What she definitely should receive, is a great deal of counseling while she is in jail - in the hopes of off-setting the mental break-down that she is dangerously close to, but mainly - and what I believe would do the most to educate her on the dangers of drinking and driving, is for her to take classes on the subject/along with visiting the families who have lost siblings/parents/children due to a drunk driver/and also doing community service at local hospitals - where there is bound to be victims recovering from accidents caused by an overindulgence (or by an indulgence, period) of alcohol, and also the perpetrators of drunken driving accidents. In her defense - and it is only fair to point this out - Paris has never said that she would not serve her sentence, and recognizes that she has made mistakes and needs to correct those mistakes - but while the sentence should fit the crime - it should also fit the person in terms of long-term effectiveness, and benefit, to the individual in question, and to society.
