"Sheriff's Department spokesman Steve Whitmore said Hilton's sentence could be
cut nearly in half by state law allowing for credit for time served for good
behavior. In addition, he said, overcrowding in the jail system could further
reduce the time she spends in custody.
Overcrowding has been a major issue
in the L.A. County jail system, with some inmates -- even violent ones --
serving as little as 10% of their sentences. (If that standard was applied to
Hilton, she would serve less than a week in jail.)"
So I guess it really isn't a surprise, the jail system in California is broken. I know someone who was in jail, and said that people would get in fights when they were send to the work farm. As a result of getting a fight they would be sent back to the jail, where there was less space. Since there was less space they would get out sooner.
I don't know what will happen with Paris, but I think that she will be strong after all this is over.
