She's not getting more jail time than anyone else! People assume this because the offense was "Driving with suspended license".
It is not. Here's how it goes.
At the DUI sentencing, she is sentenced to 45 days in jail. BUT, this jail time is SUSPENDED, and replaced with probation time.
During this probation period, if she gets any unlawful offenses, the SUSPENDED 45 days in jail for the DUI GO INTO EFFECT.
In other words, as long as she stays out of trouble during her probation period, she will never have to actually sit the 45 days in jail she was sentenced to for her DUI.
So thats where the 45 days of jail come in.
Well I am just relaying what I heard from Americsn lawyers on CNN........and i am pretty sure they know the law
here is something interesting
Dog and Beth to Paris Haters -- You're Full of It!

You might think that Dog and Beth Chapman -- the toughest, hardest bounty hunters around -- might take a tough stance against Paris Hilton's early release. Think again!

The Chapmans, who spoke exclusively to TMZ late last night, have both spent a little time in jails themselves and think that Paris has already been punished enough for what they call a "traffic offense" -- and they have just one question for all those outraged observers: Have you ever spent even an hour in jail?
Dog, star of A&E's "Dog the Bounty Hunter," says he gave serious thought to making a very unusual plea to the judge in Paris' case after hearing of the 45-day sentence. "I was going to offer to do the 45 days for her," he says. "And if anyone hates jail, my brother, it's Dog Chapman." Dog's prescription for punishing Paris? Putting Paris under "Dog Arrest" and having Beth give Paris a stern talking-to about drinking, driving and life.
Beth tells us that in her 20 years in the bail bonds biz, she's never seen anyone who committed Paris' crime -- which she calls essentially a "traffic offense" -- get such a stiff sentence. "That L.A. City Attorney [Rocky Delgadillo] is a joke. Three days in isolation for a person like Paris is more than enough. What you can't do is waste taxpayer money so a bunch of people can get their rocks off."
