Poor, poor Paris Hilton

[Alex]

This thread has a lot of guessing what "normal" is for a sentence and time served in a situation like Paris Hilton's. This LA Times article has a lot of actual statistics.

One sentence sums it up pretty well:

Had Hilton left jail for good after four days, her stint behind bars would have been similar to those served by 60% of those inmates.

Though is bears noting that her sentence and time served is not a complete outlier.
