Reply #54: Solitary confinement has been known to drive people insane over long periods

[Occulus]

If her cell is as 'nice' as you say (I'm envisioning something roomier than the 8x6 cinderblock cell a friend of mine was in for a couple years), it's not punishment, even if she is alone there.

My subject line deals more with tiny little lightless solo closets, which according to you hers is not.

I agree with those on this thread who have said she should be in the general population. Oooh, public! Danger! But I bet she has people in there who like her, just like on the outside, and I bet they would go out of their way to make sure she doesn't have a rought time of it while she was there.

There's something to be said for being a public persona and being in jail, in the general population: you're almost guaranteed that someone there will be layal to you and watch your back.

Of course, there are always those public persons who will be killed if they were to be put in with everyone else. I think we all know who would spark a contest among the inmates for "first blood".

Paris Hilton is not one of those. There are a lot of people who like her (for whatever reason), and I bet some of them are in the same jail she is.

She deserves to be housed in the general population, if for no other reason than to see and hear the problems and hopes and concerns of 'reg'lar folks'. It could be a learning experience for her... but my bet is on that not happening.

And that's kind of sad.
