Paris Hilton arrived at a Los Angeles County jail today to begin a three-week stay for violating her probation in an alcohol-related reckless driving case.

Although a judge sentenced her to 45 days behind bars, Hilton is expected to serve only 23 days because of a state law that requires shorter sentences for good behaviour, said sheriff's spokesman Steve Whitmore
.
"I am trying to be strong right now," she told reporters on the red carpet. "I'm ready to face my sentence. Even though this is a really hard time, I have my family, my friends and my fans to support me, and that's really helpful."

Like other inmates in the unit, Hilton will take her meals in her cell and will be allowed outside the 12-foot-by-8-foot space for at least an hour each day to shower, watch TV in the day room, participate in outdoor recreation or talk on the telephone. No cellphones or BlackBerrys are permitted in the facility, even for visitors.

Officers arrested Hilton in Hollywood on Sept. 7. In January, she pleaded no contest to the reckless-driving charge and was sentenced to 36 months probation, alcohol education and $1,500 in fines.

She was pulled over by California Highway Patrol on Jan. 15. Officers informed Hilton she was driving on a suspended licence and she signed a document acknowledging she was not to drive. She then was pulled over by sheriff's deputies on Feb. 27, at which time she was charged with violating her probation."

Poor thing.

[eldar]

Guess she was just not celebrity enough to buy her way out!
If it had been one of us that did something like that, you can bet we would have gotten more than 45 days.
To tell the truth, I am not sure how she is a celeb. She cant sing, she is not hot, she cant even act enough to fake an orgasm on some worthless sex tape!

I think she should be on 'house arrest'.   My house of course!   

Although, I don't find her that attractive either, I would not kick her out of bed... unless she prefers the floor.

I did 11.5 months of an 18 month sentence (state time ) for a reckless driving offense. Where the #$%* is the justice?

PARIS HILTON TRADES JAIL FOR HOUSE ARREST

After less than a week in jail, hotel heiress Paris Hilton has been released and reassigned to house arrest for the next 40 days.

After "extensive consultation with medical personnel," the tabloid favourite and notorious party girl has been "reassigned to our community-based, alternatives to custody program," Steve Whitmore, a spokesman for the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, told reporters on Thursday.

    Paris Hilton appeared at the MTV Movie Awards on Sunday, before submitting herself to authorities later that night.Paris Hilton appeared at the MTV Movie Awards on Sunday, before submitting herself to authorities later that night.
   
Early Thursday morning, the Simple Life reality TV star was fitted with an electronic "ankle bracelet" monitoring device. She will be confined to her home for 40 days and will be under the supervision of the Los Angeles County probation department.

Whitmore cited an unspecified medical condition for Hilton's reassignment, saying that privacy issues prevented him from going into more detail.

"This is certainly not unprecedented. This happens from time to time," he said.

"It doesn't matter how we look … it just matters that we do our job."

He added that Hilton's reassignment was not an issue of overcrowding in the facility.

Earlier this year, the 26-year-old was sentenced to 45 days in jail for driving with a suspended licence, which violated the probation of her alcohol-related reckless driving case in 2006. The sentence was later reduced to 23 days.

On Sunday night, Hilton surrendered to police and was booked into the Century Regional Detention Facility, not long after making a surprise appearance at the MTV Movie Awards earlier that day.

She was held in a special facility where she was separated from the general prison population and spent 23 hours each day in her cell. 

Authorities consider that Hilton has already spent five days "behind bars," Whitmore said.

Ain't justice a joke!

House arrest eh? BS!

How's the song go,

"The rich keep getting richer and the poor just get old."

Sorta applies here I think anyway, since if she'd been poor she'd have done
the full time in the slammer.

Ain't that the truth

I can't help thinking that the sentence itself would have been a mite longer if she was poor white trash too
