Exactly, just look at Paris Hilton, she gets her jail time cut down, and she will serve her time separated from the general inmate population in a "special needs housing unit".
If that was any non star they would be in general population and serving there full sentence.
Plus lets not forget Ray Lewis.

Most states allow for "good time"
I know from a family member that has been in some trouble with the law that in MN if you stay out of trouble you only serve 2/3 of the time you are sentenced to.
In IL you can serve as little as 1/2 of your sentenced to.
So as far as not having to serve the full sentence Paris Hilton is not getting special treatment.
I do feel that she should be in General Population.
Let her see what jail is really like.
