Then double the fine and give her home detention.

She inherited $80 million when she turned 18. I'm sure the fine will "cost" her.

You're missing her disregard for the law. Instead of driving, why didn't she get a driver? Because the law doesn't apply to her. She did not comply with any of her probation. She disregarded all the rules. That is serious. Nothing they did deterred her which is the point. The law is a deterrent to antisocial/dangerous behaviour. Instead of realizing the seriousness of her behaviour, she plays poor picked on waif. She broke laws and believes she should have no consequences. The law says otherwise.

It will be a net gain for taxpayers instead of the net loss they are getting stuck with now to keep her in jail. And if she breaks home detention again, she gets another fine and a longer home detention sentence.

No, I haven't.

Sure it does. We're simply debating the punishment.

No, the point is that I don't want taxpayers wasting money when they could be making money. And I don't want nonviolent offenders clogging up the jails. It's a waste of jail space.

As do I. Put her on home detention and fine her. If she tries to break home detention, fine her again and double the sentence.

Good Observation

Some on here have the misguided liberal view that jail is supposed to be fun and fair.

The sentence Poor Paris got was more than fair.

The sentence Rich Paris got by the sheriff was nothing more than a kindergarten Time Out.

Paris Hilton's parents actions remind me of the way arrogant politicians that we have in Washington D.C., think about their commoner constituents.

Such as Nancy Pelosers son working for $180,000 per year and never having to show up for work.
