Just 82 minutes after Nicole Richie checked herself into Lynwood jail, she left a free woman. Hard time her ass!
According to the official website of the L.A. Sheriff's Dept., Richie checked in at 3:15 PM and was released at 4:37 PM. She was assigned to a cell for only 35 minutes! It takes longer to watch an episode of "The Simple Life" ... and it's more painful!
A Sheriff's source tells TMZ Nicole was routinely processed and released according to normal operating rules.
One of the more brilliant moves by Nicole's lawyer, Shawn Chapman Holley, who snuck Nicole in and out while everyone was focused on Lindsay. Well played!

Who said civil servants were slow processing paperwork? In and out in under 90 minutes -- they must have assigned a half dozen people just to push her papers through that fast.

I wish her all the happiness in her new role as a mom. I hope she has learned from her mistakes.

Is anybody truly shocked by this? I just pray that this individual gets no more publicity and that we don't have to hear about her anymore. Remind me again what EXACTLY she has done to earn her "celebrity status"...

How much can a 4 day sentence contribute to overcrowding?? Why sentence them to any time at all? I live in L.A. and I am completely embarassed.

This is ridiculous! If they weren't white, they would have to serve the whole term.

I am okay with Nicole getting out as quickly as she did. She seems to be making a real effort to turn her life around. Congratulation Nicole. This is a saying that my daughter loves "Strong Body, Strong Mind, Strong Spirit". Nicole STAY STRONG!

Since the jails are soooo overcrowded, why not just sentence them to 45 days of Caltrans where they wear their orange vests and pick up trash or do landscaping along the freeways? They can't skip out of that after an hour and California has plenty of trash littering its roads and highways.
