cannabisnews.com — Paris Hilton's sentence of 45 says, down to 23 days with good behavior, is far from other DUI probation violating females. Currently all such low level female offenders are ankle-braceleted and sent back home.There are about 10,000 drug users sentenced to 25 days or more, vs. about 1500 DUIs. The War on Drugs is why DUI's get sent home first day.

Quote:"If they treated her just like the other DUI probation violators, then the country would have been forced to have a conversation about why our jails are too overcrowded for drunk drivers to serve their full time.Nobody wants a debate on drug policy before this election. This is the one thing both parties are trying desperately to avoid.If Paris went home early like everyone else, then too much attention would have been focused on the consequences of the jail overcrowding caused by the War on Drugs.So they made her serve her whole time in jail, so that America can feel comforted"
