As we watch this little rich girl have to deal with the reality that the world and all the people in it just aren't her toys to push around on her own checker board, I think of all of the less well-off people who suffer far more mental stress in jail, but would never have a prayer of convincing people that they are worthy of immediate release like she. Give me a break--if mental breakdown is a reason worthy of immediate release (with a follow-up, apparently therapeutic party thereafter), then we should just open the doors of the L.A. County jails and let out all of the other people who haven't had all of the advantages and freedom that poor old Paris has flaunted ad nauseum.
