Paris Hilton Receives A Visit In Jail From Her Family

"It's tough. It is," said Kathy Hilton, who saw Paris in jail on Tuesday. "It's just one hour a week: 30 minutes on Sunday and 30 minutes on Tuesday. We talk through glass." "And this one" – gesturing to Paris' sister Nicky – "left in hysterics," Kathy added. "Nicky tried to keep the brave face but – I never see Nicky cry."Nicky described her visit to the jail on Sunday as surreal. "It's sad. It's like right out of the movies," she said. "The glass partition, the orange jumpsuit. Everything." Nicky spoke of what she saw as the unfairness in Paris's case. "What's annoying is all these people are going on television saying that she was drinking and driving," said Nicky. "She's not in jail for DUI. That's a big misconception. She's in jail for driving on a suspended license, just like the (City Attorney's) wife was. ... She got a $186 fine." (On the day he sought more jail time for Paris Hilton, Los Angeles City Attorney Rocky Delgadillo acknowledged his wife got a traffic ticket two years ago while driving with a suspended license. She received the ticket – and the $186 fine – for failing to obey a turn-only sign, but wasn't ticketed for driving with the suspended license).Kathy Hilton reiterated Paris's statement that she will not fight her sentence, which could end as early as June 25. "There are no appeals – as Paris said. But the point is that I hope this will shine a light on everybody (in those jails). That's the positive," said Kathy. The jails, she said, "need financial help, and it's very sad to see what's going on in there." Kathy adds: "I always believe that where there's a negative there's a positive. And I feel that maybe this whole ordeal can shed light on other people, and that really maybe everybody should be treated exactly the same. I don't care who you are. As Paris said, she's just going to do her time and try to make the best of it, and hopefully" – she paused, chocking back emotion – "I always believe there's a reason for everything."

Paris Hilton Talks To Barbara Walters

Paris Hilton Speaks To Barbara Walters From JailExclusive From Barbara WaltersAs Seen on Monday June 11, 2007
Barbara Walters: On Sunday at 3 p.m., Paris Hilton phoned me collect from jail. Prisoners must call collect.The unusual conversation came about because Kathy Hilton, Paris' mother, had phoned me, and while we were talking, Paris called on the other line. When she heard I was talking to her mother, she said she'd like to talk to me herself.She sounded tired but totally aware of what she was saying."How are you?" I asked. Paris answered, "I'm hanging in there." But she declared, "I feel as if I'm a different person. I've dropped my appeal. I don't want to cause any more problems."I asked what happened in the jail that led to her being released or reassigned to her home. She said she had not been wailing, sobbing or screaming as had been described."But," she said, "I was not eating or sleeping. I was severely depressed and felt as if I was in a cage. I was not myself. It was a horrible experience.""How are you different?" I asked."I'm not the same person I was," she said. "I used to act dumb. It was an act. I am 26 years old, and that act is no longer cute. It is not who I am, nor do I want to be that person for the young girls who looked up to me. I know now that I can make a difference, that I have the power to do that. I have been thinking that I want to do different things when I am out of here. I have become much more spiritual. God has given me this new chance."I asked what kinds of things she might want to do. She said she would like to help in the fields of breast cancer -- her grandmother had breast cancer -- or multiple sclerosis. Her father's mother suffers from that disease. She thought she might get toy companies to build a kind of Paris Hilton playhouse, where sick children might come, and the toy companies could donate toys. She has had a person whom she described as a spiritual adviser who said, "My spirit or soul did not like the way I was being seen and that is why I was sent to jail.""God," she said, "has released me."She is reading newspapers -- The LA Times and the Wall Street Journal -- and books like "The Secret," "The Power of Now" and the Bible.When she is not in her room, she can play ping pong. She said the other women had all been friendly and the guards had been fair. She wears the proscribed prison garb: an orange or brown jumpsuit. She is not allowed makeup. She said that her skin was very dry and that she was not allowed cream."It doesn't matter," she said, "I'm not that superficial girl. I haven't looked in the mirror since I got here." She said, "I feel that the purpose of my life is to be where I am. However, usually with a situation like mine, the person serves 10 percent of their time. I have already served 30 percent of my time. I hope if there is overcrowding in the jail, I would be let out before someone with a much more serious crime."Her mother had earlier told me that Paris said, "I will never again have a drink and drive."

PARIS HILTON RELEASED FROM JAIL; REASSIGNED TO HOUSE ARREST FOR 40 DAYS

Paris Hilton was released from Century Regional Detention Facility earlier today at about 2:30am PST/ 5:30am EST. She was fitted with an electronic monitoring ankle bracelet and her sentence reassigned from CRDF in Lynwood to her home in L.A. She was placed on house arrest for the next 40 days.Welcome back, Paris!Richard A. Hutton, attorney for Paris Hilton, just issued the following statement on behalf of Ms. Hilton:"I want to thank the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department and staff of the Century Regional Detention Center for treating me fairly and professionally. I am going to serve the remaining 40 days of my sentence. I have learned a great deal from this ordeal and hope that others have learned from my mistakes." The following is a statement released by the Probation Department in Los Angeles:"Paris Hilton was granted a conditional sentence in Los Angeles Metro Superior Court on January 22, 2007. A conditional sentence or "summary probation" is monitored by the court for compliance unless the court orders formal probation. Although not on formal probation, Ms. Hilton is supervised by the Los Angeles County probation department in regards to electronic monitoring.Electronic Monitoring is an integral part of community-based alternatives to custody. The Electronic Monitoring (EM) program is available to Los Angeles County Courts as an alternative to custody in accordance with penal code. The probation department contracts with a private vendor to provide electronic monitoring services. Eligible post-sentence inmates are screened for eligibility or it may be court-ordered either prior to conviction as a pretrial release or after conviction as a sentence option. Paris Hilton applied for the community based alternative to custody program and qualified as low-risk but the department did not recommend Electronic Monitoring because the court order specified ''no Electronic Monitoring.' The Sheriff Department exercised the authority to reassign Ms. Hilton to an Electronic Monitoring sentence."

Paris Hilton Attends MTV Movie Awards in L.A; Opens Up About Upcoming Incarceration

Paris Hilton put her best foot forward and put on a brave face for the media at MTV Movie Awards in Los Angeles earlier this evening, just hours before she will turn herself in at the Century Regional Detention Center in Lynwood, California.For the first time since her sentencing, Paris breaks her silence and opens up about her true feelings about her unfortunate circumstance.Ms. Hilton told SuChin Pak of MTV News "I'm doing OK, I'm obviously a little scared right now."."I am trying to be strong right now," said Hilton, who wore a gorgeous black strapless dress and jewels.Paris said her family, friends and fans have helped her prepare for her nearly three-week sentence behind bars, which begins no later than Tuesday, June 5th, 2007."I've received thousands of letters from around the world of support and it's really been inspirational and really helped me," she said. "I'm really scared but I'm ready to do this. And I hope that I'm an example to other young people."Hilton could start serving her time at before Tuesday but did not reveal whether she would wait until the last moment."I did have a choice to go to a pay jail," said Hilton. "But I declined because I feel like the media portrays me in a way that I'm not and that's why I wanted to go to county, to show that I can do it and I'm going to be treated like everyone else. I'm going to do the time, I'm going to do it the right way.""Even these past couple weeks, it's completely changed my life," she said."Even though it's a scary thing I'm using it in a positive way and when I come out, I can't wait to start my new life and be even stronger than I am now."Once inside the awards venue, Paris endured a tirade of cruel jokes about her past sex tape and her upcoming jail time from host Sarah Silverman, followed by an small section of audible applause by non-Paris fans. Paris was strong and cracked a smile during the insulting segment by Silverman, although in my opinion she appeared visibly bothered by the cruel jokes, as I would have been as well if I were her. I actually found the jokes by Sarah Silverman dry and tasteless and a senseless attack an Paris' unfortunate situation. And the MTV Movie Awards sucked anyway this year, Paris and Amy Winehouse's performance of "Rehab" being the highlights of the evening."I love the Movie Awards," Paris said before the show began. "It's fun. I wanted to do something nice before I went off."
