Nicole Richie Spends an Hour in Jail for DUI Offense
While the world’s media were focusing on Lindsay Lohan’s lucky plea bargain, fellow DUI offender Nicole Richie snuck into the slammer. However, her “Life” in Lynwood lasted just over an hour.
According to the official website of the L.A Sheriff’s Department, Richie handed herself over to authorities at 3.15 p.m. PST Thursday. But due to over-crowding in the Lynwood Correctional Facility (where partying pal Paris Hilton also did time) Richie was released at 4.37 p.m.

Overcrowding? They should have had a lottery and let someone else go, heck, an illegal even. ;-)
