Author Topic: Want to help keep Paris Hilton out of jail? Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 06-13-2007 08:11 AM                     Her parents must be saints too. They were rushed past others in line waiting to see loved ones.... Also: "Hilton was sent to a medical ward, where sheriff's officials said it costs $1,109.78 a day to house a female inmate compared to $99.64 a day in the general population.' She should have to serve longer time to pay that back...right??? I just don't see anyone thats doing time as being high profile. Paris's parents woosh pass other waiting in line LOS ANGELES - Paris Hilton's parents visited their daughter after breezing past others waiting to see loved ones — an incident that raised new complaints that the heiress is receiving special treatment. The visit came less than a week after Hilton was reassigned to house arrest days after being jailed for violating parole. The 26-year-old celebrity was later ordered back to jail. Alvina Floyd, one visitor to the at the Twin Towers Correctional Facility, waited more than four hours to visit her fiance. It normally takes two hours, and Floyd, 20, blamed the Hiltons for the delay. "I have to be at work later," she said. "I can't wait here all day." Shatani Alverson, 23, said she was hustled out of the jail's visiting room moments after her husband walked in because of the Hiltons. She was told to come back after lunch. Steve Whitmore, a sheriff's spokesman, said it was routine for high-profile inmates to receive visitors during lunch, a time when the visiting room is normally cleared out and closed. The visit came shortly after the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors ordered Sheriff Lee Baca to respond by next week to allegations of favoritism for reassigning Hilton to house arrest. At the time, Baca cited an undisclosed medical condition as the reason for making the decision. Hilton was sent to a medical ward, where sheriff's officials said it costs $1,109.78 a day to house a female inmate compared to $99.64 a day in the general population. Mary Tiedeman, who regularly visits the jails as a monitor for the ACLU, said the area where Hilton was being housed was usually reserved for high-security inmates or those worse off than Hilton has appeared. "I don't know what her health issue is, but you have got to have a pretty intense medical or mental health problem to be in that part of the jail," she said.  |  IP: Logged Cameron Glendinning Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 845 From: West Ryde, Sydney, NSW Australia Registered: Dec 2005 posted 06-13-2007 08:23 AM                     mmm The Twin Towers HILTON Corectional Facility, Its a shame the rooms dont come with an onsuite for $100, Room service is much slower than usual. For $1000 dollars a night any idea whats on the breakfast menu?  |  IP: Logged Louis Bornwasser Film God Posts: 4441 From: prospect ky usa Registered: Mar 2005 posted 06-13-2007 10:01 AM                        I have NO problem with the higher cost as long as the difference is not only fully reimbursed but also a suitable "handling charge" is added that will benefit the population as a whole. I am certain that this would not be an undue burden for the Hiltons.

Dare I say, the public probably wouldn't be quite as hard on her, if she'd actually done something tangible to garner "celebrity" status. Something other than just being born.  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 06-13-2007 11:10 AM                        She has done some smart things, like surrounding herself with people who can whip her name and image into a "brand." She works hard promoting the brand, I'll give her that. She's the living proof of the old saying, 'There's no such thing as bad publicity.' She'll come out of this thing with more money than ever. It'll be the most profitable 23 days she ever spent.  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 06-13-2007 11:45 AM                     Well Mike, you could do smart but expensive marketing too and everyone in the U.S. would be buying their auto parts from you....

They've already done several top ten lists since she's been in jail... Top Ten Things Paris Hilton Heard Today In Prison 10. "No, we don't have a room service menu" 9. "Versace doesn't make an orange prison jumpsuit" 8. "Say 'That's hot' one more time and I'll smother you with a pillow" 7. "Governor Schwarzenegger called, but no one could understand a thing he said" 6. "I assume you're accustomed to people watching you shower" 5. (No number five -- writer too heartbroken) 4. "If you miss your chihuahua, the rats make pretty good pets" 3. "I'm in here for illegally downloading a video of you off the Internet" 2. "May I have your autograph, Miss Lohan?" 1. "Tell Letterman we can't accept any more flowers"  |  IP: Logged Leo Enticknap Film God Posts: 7474 From: Loma Linda, CA Registered: Jul 2000 posted 06-29-2007 05:09 PM                        I think this newsreader wanted to help keep Paris in jail...
