Everything, Everything

Paris Hilton has been released from prison after serving just three days of her 23 day sentence, it is reported. Three days in a solitary cell in a special unit (reserved for police officers, public officials, celebrities and other high-profile inmates) at the Century Regional Detention Facility. I still think she should have done the full 45 days. With all the publicity it might be hard to overlook why she ended up there:

Hilton was arrested and charged with driving under the influence with a blood alcohol content of 0.08%, the minimum at which it is illegal to drive in California, in September 2006. Hilton's drivers license was subsequently suspended in November 2006, and in January 2007 she pled no contest to the alcohol-related reckless driving charge. Her punishment was a 36 month probation sentence and fines of about $1,500.

Less than two months later... on February 27, 2007 Hilton was caught driving 70 MPH in a 35 MPH zone with a suspended license. She also did not have her headlights on while it was after dark. Prosecutors in the office of the Los Angeles City Attorney charged that those actions, along with the failure to enroll in a court-ordered alcohol education program constituted a violation of the terms of her probation.
