Preferential Treatment for Inmates Gibson and Hilton?

The sixth annual Office of Independent Review released today announced that three of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department employees have violated the policy in Mel Gibson’s 2006 arrest.

A jailor and two supervisors have been accused of applying a preferential treatment to Gibson, by not respecting the routine procedures when the actor was released and by escorting him away from the police station without any legal reason to do so.

According to the report, the police department has taken disciplinary measures in the case of the three employees who have failed to follow procedure and tried to withhold information from the original report.

When Gibson’s arrest was made public, four of the pages from the original police report regarding the actor’s anti-Semitic behavior have been pulled out from his file, but OIR says those pages have been included in a report presented to the District Attorney.

“The initial response from first and second level supervisors was to order that the comments be entirely stricken from the police report as unnecessary,” said OIR. “However, before being implemented, that instruction was modified by the unit commander, who proposed that the comments not to be included in the narrative of the report, but that they be placed instead in a supplemental report.”

At the same time, the OIR report found nothing wrong with Paris Hilton’s arrest, even though the hotel heiress was released from jail before she served full sentence: “the investigations surrounding the Hilton jailing have, to date, not resulted in any founded violations of policy.”

Although the report stated that whenever Paris Hilton walked past other inmates in the jail’s corridors they were ordered to face the wall, or that she received a brand new uniform instead of being given a recycled one, OIR says that her treatment only appeared to be preferential, but in fact it was only the normal treatment of a high-profile inmate.
