Prison Visit May Have "Negative Effects" On Ms. Hilton






Really?
Isn't that the whole point of serving prison term? I know, this is an "old" topic (Ha!), but the very idea of this woman nearly spending her prison term at home wearing an ankle-cuff makes me boil.


First, she was stopped by police for a DUI infraction (Driving Under the Influence). Her license was suspended for 3 years and she was fined appropriately. Then, nearly 2 weeks later, police stopped her again for driving through a red light without her headlights - and a suspended drivers' license.
These are serious charges. The fact that she almost got out of it is a disturbing indication that sometimes the rich and affluent are above the law. If it were you or me the judge wouldn't even waste a thought on how the prison environment would affect us.


Anyhow, I'm sure she'll be pretty happy when she gets out.
