(AP) The Rev. Al Sharpton denounced Paris Hilton’s release from jail on Thursday, saying it had “all of the appearances of economic and racial favoritism.”

“I think that it’s both another glaring display of how race and money seem to get different treatments. There seems to be a different criminal justice system for some than others,” Sharpton said.

After three days into a 23-day jail stint, Hilton was fitted with an electronic monitoring ankle bracelet and released to the comforts of her 2,700-square-foot Hollywood Hills home due to a mysterious and unspecified medical condition.

But hours after Hilton was sent home, the judge who put her in jail ordered her into court to determine whether she should be put back behind bars.

Hilton must report to court at 9 a.m. Friday, Superior Court spokesman Allan Parachini told The Associated Press.

“My understanding is she will be brought in in a sheriff’s vehicle from her home,” Parachini said.

Although Sharpton said he has “nothing but empathy for Ms. Hilton,” he doubted similar treatment would be offered to minorities or poor people.

“There are any number of cases of people who handled being incarcerated badly and even have health conditions that are not released,” Sharpton said.

“But I think that it gives a very bad signal when Ms. Hilton is treated any differently than any other parole violator in their county or in this country.”

Responding to outcries over Thursday morning’s sudden release of Paris Hilton from jail, the Reverend Al Sharpton plans to meet with LA County Sheriff Lee Baca on Monday.

After learning of Hilton’s early out, Sharpton said it had “all of the appearances of economic and racial favoritism.”

“I think that it’s both another glaring display of how race and money seem to get different treatments. There seems to be a different criminal justice system for some than others,” Sharpton said.

After only three days into a 23-day jail stint, for violating a judge’s orders against driving because of a DUI, Hilton was fitted with an electronic monitoring ankle bracelet and sent home to the comforts of her 2,700-square-foot Hollywood Hills residence.

In any event, if LA City Attorney, Rocky Delgadillo has his way, Hilton may be headed back to jail … and who knows, maybe Sheriff Baca might wind up there as well.

“The City Attorney filed a petition for an order to show cause why the sheriff should not be held in contempt for releasing Ms. Hilton, and demanded that she be held in custody,” Superior Court spokesman Allan Parachini said late Thursday afternoon.

Acting on the petition, Judge Michael Sauer has order Hilton back to court this morning for a hearing that will review Baca’s decision.

A press release sent to EUR from Sharpton’s office says the Civil Rights leader will spend the weekend in Southern California “appealing to Californians that feel that they have been unfairly treated and not given early release or reassignment, to submit their information to Sharpton’s LA headquarters (5003 South La Brea Ave., Unit C, LA, CA 90056).

Also scheduled for Sharpton’s SoCal visit this weekend is a press conference at 11 AM Saturday at his LA headquarters headed by Tony Wafford. Sharpton will call for the same standards for all people regardless of race, class or creed.

SHARPTON BLASTS JUSTICE SYSTEM
Thu Jun 07 2007 11:45:47 ET

Reverend Al Sharpton, President of National Action Network, and one of the country’s foremost leaders for civil rights, is blasting the justice system for what appears to be favoritism in the early release of Paris Hilton.

“Though I have nothing but empathy for Ms. Hilton whom I have met and appeared with on Saturday Night Live the night I hosted in 2003, this early release gives all of the appearances of economic and racial favoritism that is constantly cited by poor people and people of color. There are any number of cases of people who handle being incarcerated badly and even have health conditions that are not released.

I have served several sentences for civil rights and civil disobedience actions and I even fasted which caused health concerns to prison authorities who paid for a doctor to come see me daily rather than release me. This act smacks of the double standards that many of us raise
