Read my latest flash, Venison, at 52|250.

I know you’ve felt your incarceration was wrong from the start. Of course, you were raised to believe that the laws that apply to normal people don’t apply to you. I’ve seen a few articles about your most recent hearing, and I find the spectacle of a woman about my age screaming for her mommy to make it right appalling– but, then again, I suppose I haven’t had the disadvantage of a wealthy family that can save me from darn near everything. However, I have to agree that your hearing wasn’t exactly fair. That the judge refused to meet with the sheriff and medical personnel seems to suggest that he was more interested demonstrating that he wasn’t going to give special treatment to a celebrity than in actually treating you like a normal human being.

However, your sentence isn’t so long and the conditions under which you’re being kept nowhere near as bad as those inflicted on others who have faced unfair hearings or who, unlike you, have been convicted of crimes they did not commit. Maybe your little taste of that could teach you some empathy for these people. You could start to use your wealth and celebrity status to do something worthwhile. Amnesty International and The Innocence Project would be good places to start.
