TMZ reports:
Just 82 minutes after Nicole Richie checked herself into Lynwood jail, she left a free woman.
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!

Nicole Richie's mugshot
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 focusing on Lindsay.

Under-sheriff Larry Waldie insists Nicole did not receive special treatment because of her celebrity status.
He said: "The reality of overcrowding is that would have happened to any female inmate with a 96-hour sentence.
"They were told to treat her like any other inmate, and that is what happened here."
The current sheriff's policy states all non-violent female offenders sentenced to 30 days or less are booked and released within 12 hours.
Nicole, please do your child a favor and don’t be a nasty, trashy mom. All I see is tits and belly.

She is a spoiled rotten brat. How many guards did she and her douche boyfriend blow to get her out early?

Now that she’s off her coke and meth diet, she looks a lot better.

nicole looks hot pregnant.
her bf is still, you know, not cute. but i guess he does it for her.
as for the legal system, it’s just fucked. seriously. it’s not just celebs who get “special treatment”. i think the system is just lazy.

There is a different kind of justice for the wealthy. Holley is a great attorney and probably has strong connections to the LA DA’S office. What kind of message does this send to minorities, middle class people and all of us?

We can all protest until we are blue in the face. Until we are all rich, then we will get special treatment and great attorneys.
Nicole really looks good pregnant.
