Update on LA’s Early Release Program–Celebrity Edition

Ending our hopes of a real life “smokin’ hot women in prison” enactment, LA Observed notes that actress Michelle Rodriguez was released after serving just four hours and twenty minutes of a sixty-day sentence for violating probation. Not exactly hard time and most likely not a single group shower or a chance for a melee in the exercise yard. Better yet, a few hours later she was already partying in Hollywood.
Chalk another one up for LA’s early release program. Now please tell me how this is a deterrent.
I wonder what the county supervisors are doing about it? Oh yeah, they’ve asked for a CYA report.

4 hours and 20 minutes? Thats just about how long it takes to get through the line at the DMV, they should have just made her go renew her drivers license. Better chance of seeing a real chick fight that way too. If they really wanted to punish her however they could have just made her sit through the entire director’s cut of Heaven’s Gate.

I think it was a parole violation.
