Celebrity Justice
Snipes Can't Drop Soap for a Loooong Time

Wesley Snipes won't be getting a Nicole Richie special in the big house: TMZ has learned that Prisoner 57 -- or whatever number he gets -- will have to do two-and-a-half years hard time (out of the three he was sentenced to). And that's only if he's a really good prisoner.

Federal inmates can't get parole, so Wes will be in for at least, by our calculation, 930 days.

18. Even Bill Cosby says it's time to pull yourself up by your boot straps. We're all discriminated against in some form or another.

19. Ah.....TMZ............you people are the sleaziest parasitic freaks I've ever seen. You'd think that after losers such as yourselves caused the untimely and premature death of Princess Diane that laws would be enacted to abolish such preying practices that are part and parcel to your very existence. Oh, and ol' Harvey.......let me tell ya, the cute little " I'm a lawyer " bit at the end of each BM...er show .... god , don't Lawyers have a bad enough reputation already ? Oh and the "dude" that has the nasty long blond hair who's favorite word is "gnarly"...... Hey loser, it's not 1993 anymore...uh dude?

20. Yes K . If a black man starts a fire it is probably the fault of the white colonialist/ imperialist economic system. Eorepeans should get double the sentence of any other race. Because of their privilege the same crime is twice as bad if a european does it.

21. He's going to be doing alot of yoga and meditation - he's going to be a huge success when he's out. He'll make a movie about his experience. Hopefully there won't be any shower love scenes. Don't ever enter the system, there's no escape. What a nightmare. It makes me mad.

22. Over punished because he's black? So the black people shouldn't get punished for crimes because their early
ancestors the slaves,were unjustly chained ?
I hink Wesley Snipes should be out on damn chain gang like other inmates. As it is-Snipes will be treated like royalty
behind bars. Write a book/screen play about his experienes behind bars and be richer and more famous than before he went in.
The judge shoud prohibit Snipes from profiting about his story and time in jail.
All you black people still bitch about getting a raw deal because your black.
You get good jobs with less qualifications/experience over others because your black.
You blacks still act as if your slaves. Its 2008 and you have it a lot better today than the blacks had it before Rosa Parks.
Wake up! I'm glad celebrities are finaly getting punished.Not like Wesley Snipes was getting movie roles anyway.

23. I'm still wondering if he'll do time in federal "white collar resort" prison or PMITA prison.

24. I think Matt needs a group hug......

25. I take it that Matt probably won't vote for Obama.

29. Jason # 10::::: Thank you very much for that information. I have really learned something new. I will check out your page and spread the word....

30. Actually, I believe Mr. Snipes will only end up doing about 1 1/2 years. I think he'll get around half time for good behavior, maybe even more if he does other stuff to shave off extra time.

Still, doing time for taxes is crap.

We gotta put our tax dollars into putting up Mr. Snipes, instead of a more serious criminal?

The judge is a dumbass. Setting an example? Yep, that'll work.

Too much!!!
