Paris to live the "Simple Life" in the "slammer"

Paris Hilton is off to jail for forty-five days starting in June. The news has taken headlines on all major news channels, magazines, and newspapers. Scorn and disdain for the multi-million dollar heiress famous for being famous has been at an all-time high and with good reason. But what will result from all of this?

Paris has been seen crying even stating before a judge that she does not read her mail and has people do those kind of things for her, and so she had absolutely no idea about the provisions on her probation. Was that the worst thing she could have said or what!?! Most people really just don't tend to feel sorry for multi-million dollar heiresses who even amass more fortune simply by being famous for being famous.

As expected Paris appealed the court decision in hopes of reducing the aforementioned forty-five days to a lesser amount of days or to something less severe such as community service perhaps. At best ,she will receive some protection from certain inmates who have already produced vague threats.
In my humble opinion, Paris needs to go to jail and serve the forty-five days as determined by the court decision. It is no one's fault but Paris' if she doesn't make sure her personal assistant is informing her on everything- especially legal issues. This girl is obviously not an idiot as she tries to portray herself in the media.

She has created a personal fortune and is not just an heiress anymore. Just last year alone she made a reported $8,000,000. She may be famous for essentially nothing but scandal, but she has some intelligence and should take those forty-five days to reflect on her life. It is my belief that Paris will come back stronger and better than ever, à la Stewart, and maybe even somewhat more mature.

Some people are worrying for her safety. I say, if she needs protection, give it to her! She is a well-known person and could potentially be harmed, perhaps even severely. The judge and the courts have the right to sentence but do not have the right to put someone's life in jeopardy.

For forty-five days Paris will be able to meditate, really meditate unlike what happens in some celebrity rehab facilities, and will hopefully learn from her doings and learn that no one is above and beyond the law. To echo Jane Fonda's sentiments, if Paris were "poor and black" she would have received this sentence or something far worse much earlier.

So Paris... take responsibility, meditate, and come back stronger than ever.
