Cast Not the First Stone at Paris Hilton

As much as I believe that Paris Hilton deserves to rot in jail for her driving antics, one should appeal to empathy. Think about it. Paris Hilton should be treated as any other person, however at the same time, if her psychological reasons for release from jail are genuine, any person in the same situation would want justice.

So we should not cast the first stone at Paris Hilton. The rule of Survival of the Fittest dictates that in prison, the strong survive. Paris Hilton is not one of the strong. Ask yourself, are you expecting too much of Paris Hilton to serve a full prison sentence?

I once had to be pulled out of a hiking trip in the middle of it because I genuinely needed to go home. It would be against the Declaration of Human Rights to force me to complete a ten day hike. In the same way, a heiress who makes a living as a celebrity famed on reckless behaviour would not be evolved to the extent to survive in prison.

That girl needs therapy.

Yes, she should be disciplined for her actions, but she needs to be monitored in prison so that she gets the assistance she needs. And by "assistance", I don't mean sending her cookies and other treats by way of her parents.

Sincerely,
