Truthfully, I'm glad she was ordered to go back to jail. It really shows that the judge was serious about his sentence. I do think she is being made an example for others. I really hope this incident wakes up her fan base (if she still has one), show them what kind of person she really is. I seriously think she was acting like a little brat, who thought she was going to get her way.

What's her major malfunction?! She is STRRANGE! I think even if she killed someone with her drunken driving, she wouldn't think she deserves punishment! She is one weird cookie. There was an 18-year-old Senior in high school here that got drunk and KILLED one of her classmates in a car wreck, but her parents are well off, etc. and she is only getting two years in jail. It's not what you know, it's who you know.

Yeah, I have to agree. I'm definitely glad that she was sent back to prison. People shouldn't get special priviledges like that just because of who they are when they've broken the law. Plus, she's acting like she just got a life sentence when it's a matter of weeks! lol

Well i don't think going back to jail will really wake her up yea ... It is not the first time she got into jail so what the big deal of her getting wake up ... the tears she cry when she was transported to jail are just some lousy play acting yea .... Prehaps she really need a big lesson to wake herself up yea

oh man! i was actually laughing my heart out when i saw that little bit on tv! call me cruel because i did that but i really believe she is getting what she deserves...she actually thought that her name, fame, and money could get her out of doing time in prison...hmmm...i think she actually believed that there would be no consequences for her stupid actions...she's just this spoiled brat who will probably never have some sense put into her since even her parents don't reprimand her less than intelligent actions...

I'm all for the judge. It gives me hope that there is something known as justice in the US of A and even the rich and famous get the rough end of justice. Really, its good to see her cry and be reduced to a shimmering wreck - not that I'm really sadistic here. And I'm sorry, its right that she's held at a higher standard than the rest of us - in her day job as attention seeker, she has more money, more attention and more all sorts of things that the rest of us can only dream of - we are, I think, living in a society that allows the rich to be all sorts of wonderful things, and note, she is inherited wealth rather than created wealth ala Bill Gates Warren Buffet etc, but in return they sacrifice their right to privacy and are expected to be better than the rest of us.
We had a similar instance in Singapore nearly ten years ago when an AMerican teen was sentenced to be canned for vandalising cars and President Clinton tried to intervene on his behalf. I think the main mistake Singapore made was to reduce the strokes by two - we should have increased it - sorry, who you are should count for nuts when you've broken a law that would give any other stiff a huge book thrown at them.

I totally agree, I think she should go back to jail, just because shes famous doesn't make her any different than anyone else, she has to realize she is not a child and she should respect the safety of others. Maybe this experience will help her grow up.

You know, while I agree that she must serve her time for breaking the law...and must learn that the rules apply to her, I can't help but feel a little sorry for her. I guess I wouldn't call it symathy, but more like a sadness for her because she has let herself get out out of control.
She's a spoiled and not that bright girl, who had been coasting through life with little consequences. Now all of a sudden life has come crashing down on her in a huge way. I mean going to jail is something that (hopefully) many of us won't have to experience, and I'll guess it's one of the hardest experiences that one could go through. I can understand her tears and stress, it must be incredibly scary to be in her position. And I am in no way a fan...or even have that must interst in her, I am just trying to empathize.
That said, I think it's also important for her to learn boundries and rules and I guess if this is the way it has to be done, then this is the way.

I've responded to quite a few of these postings. I don't know the laws in California, but in Massachusetts it's very unlikely a person with 1 DUI would serve time. Even if they violated their probation. A first offense DUI is typically a suspension of your license (which after a short time you can actually get back under the "Cinderella Law" we have here), a fine, mandatory drunk school & your insurance steps go up. Violating probation would have ended with a house arrest for most people here. Our jails are very overcrowded (as they are in CA) and they try hard to avoid sending non-violent offenders into the system.
Further, even 3 days locked up is quite the ordeal. I've never been arrested, but I have visited many people in jail over the years. Just going into a jail as a visitor is invasive, and upsetting. Depending on the jail, various searches are performed (granted not strip searches or body cavity searches, but prisoners must endure those) you're often treated with contempt from the guards (because apparently knowing someone in jail is also a crime in their minds) your visits take place in a room with other inmates & armed guards. You can't help but think, if that guy over there gets out of line & tries something crazy, I'm going to be in the cross fire in a room that's locked down. I don't care how nice or modern the place is, it is NOT a trip to the country club or the spa.
I think she is being held to a higher not lower standard because of her fame, and that's not right.

Hi, ma_belle...I also started a discussion about her, and I suggested that she hires a personal driver once she's out from jail. I'm glad that she appeared to be human again when she was asking for her mom. And of course, when she commented that she was learning from the jail experience, which I think should be an honest comment. I think with a lot of her fans believing her, she should not make comments she does not mean. But it seems that she's known for that, right? Well, she really is that popular...people here at mylot are talking about her...in fact she is in every celebrity news headlines...she is news! Spoiled brat as she is, she is giving mass media something to talk about day after day...so what's next, Miss Hilton?

I totally agree with you! She's really a brat, Nothing will happen in her life, so just stay in the prison forever!
