Hilton's "good behavior" cuts jail time to 23 days

"Paris Hilton will serve about half of her 45-day jail sentence and will be separated from the general inmate population, authorities said. The hotel heiress will spend about 23 days in a 'special needs housing unit' at the Century Regional Detention Center in suburban Lynwood, Los Angeles County sheriff's spokesman Steve Whitmore said. Her sentence was shortened after jail officials gave her credit for good behavior, Whitmore said. Officials considered several factors in calculating the credit, including that she appeared for her latest court date, he said."

Her "good behavior" was simply showing up in court? Unlike a lot of people who sit in talk show audiences, I don't care whether Paris goes to jail or not, but I have to admit that our legal system sometimes baffles me.
