Nicole Richie Serves Jail Sentence, Released After 2 Hours

In more bullshit news, Nicole Richie ducked out of her 4-day jail sentence, checking into Lynwood for a total of 35 minutes (spent inside an actual cell). Check out her mugshot, then get pissed off again because our legal system sucks!

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.
