Yes - Paris will definitely learn her lesson via this rather stressful ordeal! I'm a little disappointed with the way the judge has been handling this situation - one minute Paris is supposed to participate in the court proceedings by phone, and the next he's ordered a sheriff's car to pick her up and bring her to the courthouse in person! (?) Does the judge have ADHD? Why couldn't the judge have worked more co-operatively with the parties concerned when Paris was released to serve her sentence at home? Obviously, there was a judgment made that Paris' well-being was in question - and I have a hard time believing that someone just flipped a coin and decided that she didn't have to stay at the jail!

It's a little galling that there is so much talk about how Paris' sentence should be handled just like anybody else's! Paris Hilton has never been treated like just anyone - and has always received special treatment - and now, all of a sudden, she's supposed to be treated just like everyone else - and in the worst way possible, by being sent to jail? And this is supposed to be fitting for her? It's not - she has no skills to cope with something like this - and shame on anyone for expecting her to.

What she definitely should receive is a great deal of counseling while she is in jail - in the hopes of off-setting the mental break-down that she is dangerously close to, but mainly - and what I believe would do the most to educate her on the dangers of drinking and driving, is for her to take classes on the subject/along with visiting the families who have lost siblings/parents/children due to a drunk driver/and also doing community service at local hospitals.

Paris has never said that she would not serve her sentence, but while the the sentence should fit the crime - it should also fit the person in terms of long-term effectiveness, and benefit, to the individual in question, and to society.
