Is 82 Minutes in jail enough for a Reality TV Star

By Craig Schrolucke | Friday, August 24, 2007, 09:36 AM

For Nicole Richie, maybe.

It appears the former reality TV star (Simple LIfe) spent 82 minutes in a L.A. County jail yesterday (Aug. 23) before being released… for good behavior? Her original sentence was to be four days for driving under the influence of drugs.

Luckily for Nicole, over crowding is forcing the sheriff’s department to fingerprint and release non-violent offenders earlier than their sentence would suggest. A sheriff sergeant told the UK Telegrpah: “At this time, the criteria for a female arrestee sentenced to 30 days or less for a non-violent offense is as follows: the arrestee is booked, screened and usually released within 12 hours. This procedure is based on jail overcrowding to manage population levels mandated by federal court guidelines.”

So after 82 minutes, the reality TV star has served her time and can focus on her own simple life with Joel Madden as they wait for their new baby.

I still have to wonder if 82 minutes is enough?
