Last Tuesday, Paris Hilton’s parents paid their drunk driving, probation violating, convict daughter a visit. And why not, she’d already been in jail for literally a couple days at that point. Bystanders and ACLU monitors noticed the same thing reporters picked up on, they weren’t forced to stand in line like “normal” people must, but instead were quickly ushered through to the front of the line, ahead of many who’d been standing around for hours.

ACLU watch bitch (it’s a girl-dog thing, don’t shoot the messenger,) Mary Tiedman, who watches the jail for constitutional infringements, said,

“I don’t know what her health issue is, but you have got to have a pretty intense medical or mental health problem to be in that part of the jail.”

Sheriff’s spokesman Steve Whitmore shuffled off criticism about the Hiltons’ VIP treatment, saying that it is standard practice for high-profile inmates to receive visitors during lunch, a time when the visiting room is normally cleared out and closed, and otherwise unavailable even to those who wait two or more hours to see their incarcerated loved ones. The list of angered visitors was long, fervent and exceptionally vocal. This whole thing is like OJ’s trial all over again, except she hasn’t committed double homicide the way OJ Simpson did (allegedly).
