Do the Crime; Serve the Time; Unless you are a Cry Baby - Paris Loses Opportunity to learn Life Lesson

Pearsall is released or jail early this week. She only serve three days of a 45 day sentence. She had been locked in solitary confinement for her own protection and in some regards that's probably something akin to excessive punishment.

Regardless it's doubtful that Paris is truly reformed in just three days. It's also much less likely that she will reform from being contained by an eight gold bracelet at home for another 40 days.

LA County basically didn't do justice to Paris by failing to reform her. This probably means that we will see Paris in the headlines again for future crimes that shall commit. Her life will probably continue to degenerate and spiral out of control and someday she'll probably go the way that many young troubled celebrities go and overdose or have some tragic accident or something worse.

If LA County had really taught her a lesson by keeping her in jail for the full term of her sentence, she may have learned that there are consequences to our actions.

Instead she learned that she cries, she can get out of jail free.
