The frenzy of international media today will tell the world that Paris Hilton left jail "with a smile"...in fact, MSN even has a beaming photo of her as she departed. And many of the consumers of this media will believe that somehow Paris Hilton had great delight in her PR opportunity (enhancing her Monopoly on the media)- thus the smiles. Not me. It's been my experience with many ex-inmates that something profound happens to most of them when the doors to the jail or prison close hard. Something "clicks" in the center of who we are when we realize that we are no longer in control of even our daily lives. (Even for Paris' mere handful of weeks? Yep) -- Dennis Mansfield.
