Lots of celebrities go to jail. Most of the time their stay is under 30 days, and they are sent to jail because they have violated parole––often from DUI or drug possession convictions. Lindsay Lohan, Paris Hilton and Shia Labeouf are excellent examples of this.
Lindsay Lohan was sent to jail for for violation of her parole. She was recently sentenced to another 30 days in jail but only had to serve four-and-a-half hours due to overcrowding. Paris Hilton violated parole after being caught driving drunk. She was sentenced to serve 45 days in jail. She started crying a lot in jail in hopes it would get her out quicker. Sadly, it worked. Shia Labeouf went to jail for two days because he walked into a Walgreens drugstore wasted and had to be escorted out by security.
Perhaps the most infamous celebrity to go jail has been OJ Simpson, but it wasn't for murdering his wife and her friend (he was found not guilty at what was the most publicized trial in American history). He robbed a hotel in Vegas and was found guilty on all charges and sentenced to 33 years.
Celebrities may think that they're above the law. But they're not.
