Paris Hilton heading to jail

I'm sure like many people who aren't heiresses to squillion-dollar fortunes I'm not alone in sniggering at the thought of Paris Hilton going to jail.

She will spend 45 days in a quaint little Los Angeles County Sherrif Department jail called, Century Regional Detention Center. Hilton will swap her life of hedonism for one of spartan tedium, living in a 12-by-8 feet cell with a toilet, sink and a window 6 inches wide.

She will be seperated from the general population for her own safety so its unlikely she will become anyone's 'bitch' as happens with many others.

Hilton must go to jail by June 5 and she will not be allowed any work release, furloughs, use of an alternative jail or electronic monitoring in lieu of jail, Superior Court Judge Michael T. Sauer ruled after a hearing.

The judge, saying "there's no doubt she knew her license had been suspended," ruled that she was in violation of the terms of her probation in an alcohol-related reckless driving case.

Inmates get three low-sodium meals a day, with dinner the only hot meal. Beef and pork aren't permitted—"it's all poultry-based," said Capt. Alice Scott, who oversees the 2,200-inmate facility she describes as "a very nice place."

I'm sure this will be a comfort to her mother. When a reporter asked what she thought of the judge's decision, a visibly angry Kathy Hilton responded: "What do you think? This is pathetic and disgusting, a waste of taxpayer money with all this nonsense. This is a joke."

City attorney spokesman Nick Velasquez, disagreed however and said late Friday that the judge's ruling "sends a clear message that in the city of Los Angeles, no one is above the law."

"She violated the law and appropriate action was taken," he said.
