Khloe Kardashian was released from jail on Friday afternoon.

She had checked in earlier that day.

The drunk driving sister was originally sentenced to 30 days in the slammer.

She barely spent THREE hours there. 173 minutes was the exact time Khloe spent locked up.

Celebrity justice, gotta love it!

The official word from the L.A. Sheriff's department, though, is that Khloe was released because female inmates are eligible for early release due to overcrowding. Apparently, there's only one female jail in Los Angeles and it's "busting at the seams."

So, if you're a lady criminal, L.A. is the city to come and do your damage. The consequences aren't that bad!
