Every other criminal can't claim "But jail gives me the shivers!" Just ask the fat cryer in "The Shawshank Redemption."
Ever hired a post sentencing consultant? There are guys who worked in the Fed System who charge $3-5K retainers up front to get your client "maneuvered" into the better facilities. Not a bad second career for retired wardens/asst wardens. They basically guide you through all the little administrative tricks to get prisoners into as optimal a surrounding as one can get. I assume they have them in the state system also, which is probably how Paris got herself out of this mess. I can't see a shrink's report being able to spring her alone. Somebody cashed in a favor here.
