Not to play Devil's advocate but... You really think the other women in the prison wouldn't completely destroy Paris Hilton who weights about 67lbs. soaking wet. I think the point is that she's there and not to physically harm her. As much as I hate Paris Hilton I see why she's being given special care.
I agree that the point is that she is there, and not to physically harm her. However, if I got busted for the same crimes, and was sentenced to such a short amount of time, I would not go to some special care facility. Even if I was a skinny little whore.
Why should she get special treatment?
It opens wonderful philosophical debate about punishment and celebrity. Would sending her to gen pop be, essentially, and addiitonal punishment, where the difficulties faced by her would make the punishment out of balance with the crime?
