I would assume that the proportion of nonviolent-to-violent offenders in their jail system is similar to our national prison system (1.2 million out of 1.8 million, or two thirds, of inmates in US prisons are incarcerated for nonviolent offenses, according to the Justice Policy Institute). So that policy makes sense.

 

She's getting out next Tuesday. She served a whole 23 days.

The sheriff needs to make room at the county jail for Michelle Delgadillo, wife of Los Angeles City Attorney Rocky Delgadillo the prosecutor whose office so adamantly insisted that Paris be returned to jail for violating her terms of probation by driving while her license was suspended.

Rocky and Michelle story getting good

Rocky's wife cheated on taxes

Typical juvenile justification.

"All of the other kids do it."

Paris Hilton was driving drunk, she received 3 months that was suspended based on probation and her license was suspended. She violated that probation not once but twice for which she received a 45 day sentence. She served 23 days. What the attorney's wife does or does not do has NOTHING to do with Paris Hilton's violation of the law and responsibility.

Paris Hilton didn't do her original 3 months sentence. She didn't even do the 45 day sentence. And now you're saying that because the attorney's wife has outstanding parking tickets Paris Hilton should not have had to do any jail time at all?

I really expected better from you than this flippant response.

You don't seem to be familiar with the facts of either situation.

Paris was not convicted of drunk driving. She was not sentenced to three months. Yes, she was caught twice driving while her license was suspended, but then she received a punishment which was approximately ten times as harsh as what is typically imposed on others in like situations (Los Angeles Times - Hilton will do more time than most, analysis finds).

Michelle Delgadillo, on the other hand, has been driving with a suspended license and without insurance for almost ten years. There was an outstanding warrant for her arrest for a least nine years (no, it was not for parking tickets, reread the articles). She drove her husband's city issued vehicle in violation of city rules and regulations. She was involved in an accident while driving that city owned SUV and had the it repaired at taxpayers expense.

Can you spell hypocrisy?

Exactly where did I advocate that she did not have to do any jail time? She should have received a sentence proportionate to other defendants in similar situations. No less and no more.

No. He's saying that there's no room in the jail, and another criminal needs Paris's cell. If you want every convict to serve his or her full term, you're going to have to pay a lot more taxes to build and staff more jails, because they're packed in like sardines now.

I must agree. I can't even believe I went this far into the topic.
