Paris Hilton decides against appeal

LOS ANGELES— A day after a tearful Paris Hilton was ordered back to jail, the hotel heiress said she won't appeal her 45-day jail sentence and is "learning and growing" from her time behind bars.



Her change of heart came Saturday when she announced in a statement released by one of her attorneys that she won't fight her sentence after a brief stint under house arrest at her Hollywood Hills home.

"Today, I told my attorneys not to appeal the judge's decision," Hilton said in the statement. "While I greatly appreciate the sheriff's concern for my health and welfare, I intend to serve my time at L.A. County Jail."

The celebutante was at a maximum-security detention center, where she was believed to be undergoing medical and psychiatric evaluations to determine the best jail to keep her in as she serves the rest of her sentence.

Hilton, in tears and screaming for her mother, was taken to the downtown Twin Towers facility Friday afternoon after Superior Court Judge Michael T. Sauer ordered her back to jail.

"Being in jail is by far the hardest thing I have ever done," she said in the statement. "During the past several days, I have had a lot of time to think and I believe that I am learning and growing from this experience."

Hilton added she was "shocked" by the attention her case has received and suggested the public and media focus on "more important things like the men and women serving our country in Iraq."

Her lawyers had sought to keep her out of jail on grounds that the 26-year-old was suffering an unspecified medical condition. Sauer suggested that could be taken care of at jail medical facilities.

Although authorities wouldn't discuss Hilton's condition, citing privacy laws, Sheriff Lee Baca indicated it was psychological.

He said she arrived at her original jail with a condition he hadn't been apprised of and that it immediately began to deteriorate to the point that he feared for her safety.

Sheriff's officials expect Hilton to be at Twin Towers at least through Sunday.

Which jail the heiress will end up at depends on the results of her assessment by the facility's doctors.

Sauer sentenced Hilton to 45 days in jail and said she could not serve it at home. When she was released she had served only three full days but was credited with five because she surrendered to authorities late Sunday night after attending the MTV Movie Awards and was released early Thursday morning. Before her release, she was fitted with an ankle bracelet and ordered not to leave her house until her sentence was up.

Hilton was expected to serve only 23 days because of a state law that requires shorter sentences for good behavior. She was credited with both her time served in jail and at home, so by Saturday she had completed seven days of her sentence. With time off for good behavior, she could be released in a little more than two weeks.

Hilton's path to jail began Sept. 7, when she failed a sobriety test after police saw her weaving down a street in her Mercedes-Benz on what she said was a late-night run to a hamburger stand.

She pleaded no contest to reckless driving and was sentenced to 36 months' probation, alcohol education and $1,500 in fines.

In the months that followed, she was stopped twice by officers who discovered her driving on a suspended license. The second stop landed her in Sauer's courtroom, where he sentenced her to jail.

latest news about paris hilton

Hours after Paris Hilton was sprung from jail and placed under house arrest for an unspecified "medical condition," the Los Angeles City's Attorney's Office wants to send her back.

Prosecutors filed court papers Thursday evening with the judge who originally sentenced the heiress to 45 days in jail requesting that the country sheriff's department return her to custody and that the department show cause as to why it shouldn't be held in contempt of court for letting her go, or "reassigning" her, in the first place.

In response, the sheriff's department has been ordered to bring Hilton to court Friday at 9 a.m. for a hearing on the matter.

With the approval of Sheriff Lee Baca, Hilton was released from the Century Regional Detention Facility shortly after midnight, fitted with a monitoring ankle bracelet and ordered confined to her 2,700-square-foot Hollywood Hills home for the next 40 days.

While she's still technically being punished, the move caused an immediate outcry by everyone from The View's Elisabeth Hasselbeck to L.A. city and county officials who perceived the sheriff's actions as an affront to the justice system, especially since Superior Court Judge Michael Sauer had specifically ordered that the Simple Life star not be given alternative custody or electronic monitoring.

City attorney spokesman Nick Velasquez said earlier Thursday that the office had been "inundated with calls and emails form people," with "100 percent of them" angry about Hilton's release.

Los Angeles City Attorney Rocky Delgadillo said today that he was "extremely troubled" by the sheriff's decision and had asked his prosecutors to "immediately explore all possible legal options to ensure that the law is being applied equally and justly in this case."

"Los Angeles County Jail medical facilities are well-equipped to deal with medical situations involving inmates," he added.

Meanwhile, sheriff's department spokesman Steve Whitmore told KNBC-TV that the contempt accusation "appears to be another Rocky Delgadillo press stunt."

"We've examined documents and will respond accordingly in court," he said.

Steve Remige, president of the Association of Los Angeles County Deputy Sheriffs, told KNBC that the system definitely worked in Hilton's favor.

"It appears that in Los Angeles County, if you are a wealthy individual or famous individual, that you are getting preferential treatment in the county jail system, in the county criminal system," Remige said.

To the Los Angeles Times: "I've never heard of a case where an inmate with mental problems has been released. Every jail facility has a medical unit attached to it. If a medical condition arises that those units can't handle, we have a jail ward at County-USC Hospital. I find it hard to believe that the needs of one inmate could not be met by our medical services division."

Although the exact terms of her in-house confinement are unknown—who's allowed to visit, whether she can entertain, etc.—most people are figuring that whatever goes on is going to be a pretty posh alternative to spending the next 19 days in a county lockup.

Hilton was supposed to serve 23 days of her 45-day sentence at the Century Regional Detention Facility in Lynwood, California, for violating her probation for alcohol-related reckless driving by driving several times with a suspended license.

"This makes a mockery of due process, and you're dealing with a spoiled brat, acting out to get her way instead of serving her time as was adjudicated by the courts," Los Angeles County Supervisor Mike Antonovich told reporters. "She should pay the consequences for her actions and what's happened—she's now going home to her estate."

Which, according to a close childhood pal of Hilton's, will be abuzz tonight with friends and family to welcome her home.

"It's just friends and hanging out and giving her hugs and kisses and stuff like that, so I hope that I can be a part of it, but we'll see," Caroline D'Amore told E! News' Samantha Harris, adding that she had been trying to reach Hilton since Wednesday night but that the socialite's text messaging and voicemail inboxes were full.

A source told OK! magazine, however, that, in light of Hilton's pending court date, all gatherings are off.

D'Amore also said that she understood why Hilton reportedly had such a hard time of it behind bars, however brief her stay.

"One of my dearest friends was in jail for 24 hours," she told Harris. "Called me crying hysterically, said it was one of the worst, most vile, disgusting things on the planet…She was a changed person, and she was only there for 24 hours."

Hilton, who was visited twice by her psychiatrist during her short stint in jail, was crying all the time and, unable to sleep, appeared exhausted and unkempt, People magazine reported.

Kathy and Rick Hilton arrive at their daughter's West Hollywood residence today, with Kathy Hilton telling Extra they were "happy to have her home."

In a statement released earlier today, Hilton said: "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."

Hilton Jail Captain Has Celeb Experience

LYNWOOD, Calif.- The jailhouse captain overseeing socialite Paris Hilton for the next few weeks has seen her share of celebrity inmates - and others in the department say she'll make sure that Hilton gets no special treatment.

Capt. Alice Scott, 49, is a 27-year Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department veteran who runs the 2,200-inmate Century Regional Detention Center in Lynwood, where Hilton is serving her sentence.

Hilton won't be the first celebrity in Scott's charge. Last year, "Lost" actress Michelle Rodriguez was sentenced to 60 days in jail for violating probation after her drunken driving arrest in Hawaii. She was released in hours because of overcrowding.

Actress Daryl Hannah also was there briefly after being picked up for trespassing during a tree-sitting demonstration a year ago.
Sheriff's Cmdr. Dennis Conte described Scott as a consummate professional who will ensure Hilton is treated the same as other inmates.

"She possesses the administrative and interpersonal skills to perform her duties in an extremely competent manner," he said.

Hilton was booked Sunday to serve a 45-day sentence for violating probation in an alcohol-related reckless driving case by driving with a suspended license. Good time credit is expected to shrink her term to 23 days.

Scott refused an interview request Monday.

Scott's law enforcement career began in 1980. She has worked in jails, patrol stations and in the food services division of the department.

She was promoted to her current rank two years ago by Sheriff Lee Baca and took command of the downtown Twin Towers Correctional Facility. She later moved over the Lynwood jail.

Lawyer: Hilton Well After Night in Jail

LYNWOOD, Calif- Paris Hilton was doing well after spending her first night of her probation sentence in solitary confinement at a Los Angeles County jail, her lawyer said Monday.

"She's using this time to reflect on her life, to see what she can do to make the world better and hopefully, in my opinion, to change the attitudes that exist about her among many people," attorney Richard A. Hutton told reporters after visiting Hilton.

The 26-year-old hotel heiress checked into the Century Regional Detention Facility in suburban Los Angeles just after 11:30 p.m. Sunday to serve 23 days for violating probation in an alcohol-related reckless driving case.

Hilton surrendered after a surprise appearance earlier that day at the MTV Movie Awards, where she worked the red carpet in a strapless designer gown. Now in jail-issued clothes, Hilton was being housed in a special unit where she was spending 23 hours a day in a solitary cell, Hutton said.

"If she was an ordinary citizen she would have been placed in the general population. ... She'd be living in a dorm with 30, 40, 50 other women and the time would pass pretty quick," Hutton said. "She is really being punished because of her celebrity."

A spokesman for the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, which runs the jail, said Hilton was easy to work with.

"Her demeanor was helpful. She was focused; she was cooperative," said sheriff's spokesman Steve Whitmore.


Hilton, accompanied by her mother, surrendered at the Men's Central Jail in downtown Los Angeles. She was then escorted to the women's facility in Lynwood, where she was booked, fingerprinted, photographed, medically screened and issued an orange top and pants, Whitmore said.

Hilton's booking photo showed the heiress wearing what appeared to be a V-neck shirt, eye makeup and lip gloss that highlighted a slight smile. Her long blond hair was draped over one shoulder. After checking in, Hilton was given her first meal: cereal, bread and juice.

The "Simple Life" star was in the "special needs" unit of the 13-year-old jail, separate from most of its 2,200 inmates. The unit contains 12 two-person cells reserved for police officers, public officials, celebrities and other high-profile inmates. Hilton's cell has two bunks, a table, a sink, a toilet and a small window.

Like other inmates in that 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 cell phones or BlackBerrys are permitted in the facility, even for visitors.

Although the accommodations are sparse for Hilton, it's a step up from the general population.

Teresa Jones, 50, of Lancaster, called the jail "so filthy it's worse than skid row." At check in, jailers hand out a pamphlet on infections, which are common, she said.

"That place is hell; it's awful. Life is easy compared to this," Jones said.

The jail, a two-story concrete building next to train tracks and beneath a bustling freeway, has been an all-female facility since March 2006. It's in an industrial area about 12 miles southeast of downtown.

When Hilton was sentenced May 4, the judge ruled she would not be allowed any work release, furloughs or use of an alternative jail or electronic monitoring in lieu of jail.

Despite believing she received an unfair punishment, Hilton was taking responsibility by serving her time, her attorney said.

"She knows it's wrong, but her attitude is, 'I'm going to come in here, I'm going to do my time, I'm going to get it over with and I'm going to show the world who I really am,'" Hutton said.

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 of 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 license 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 probation.

Paris Hilton away from shutterbugs in solitary cell at LA jail

LYNWOOD, Calif.- Cameras are a constant companion in the celebutante life of Paris Hilton.

But on Monday, the socialite was alone after spending her first full day of her probation sentence in isolation at a Los Angeles County jail.

Hilton was doing well under the circumstances - a 12-by-8 foot cell in a special unit away from other inmates, according to her lawyer.

"She's using this time to reflect on her life, to see what she can do to make the world better and hopefully, in my opinion, to change the attitudes that exist about her among many people," attorney Richard A. Hutton told reporters after visiting Hilton Monday.

The hotel heiress checked into the Century Regional Detention Facility in suburban Los Angeles late Sunday to begin serving three weeks for violating probation in an alcohol-related reckless driving case.

Hilton will spend about 23 hours a day in her cell, being allowed out 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 cell phones or other electronic devices are permitted in the facility, even for visitors.

Her mother, Kathy Hilton, believes it will be a time for her daughter to take advantage of time away from the spotlight, according to publicist Elliot Mintz.

"There's always a constant chatter around her," Mintz said.

A spokesman for the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, which runs the 2,200-inmate jail, said Hilton was easy to work with.

"Her demeanor was helpful. She was focused; she was cooperative," said sheriff's spokesman Steve Whitmore.

Paris Hilton spends 1st night in jail, 22 days left to go

LOS ANGELES - One down and 22 to go. Paris Hilton completed the first night of her probation sentence as morning arrived Monday in her strange new surroundings - a county jail cell that will be her home for much of the next month.

The heiress worked the red carpet at the MTV Movie Awards Sunday afternoon, then traded her strapless designer gown for a jail-issue jumpsuit and a solitary cell.

The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department, which runs the jail, turned mum Monday, but the media crowd outside the jail grew since the weekend.

The 26-year-old heiress checked into the Century Regional Detention Facility in Lynwood just after 11:30 p.m. Sunday. She is due to serve three-weeks for violating her probation in an alcohol-related reckless driving case. The sheriff's department online booking site shows a projected release date of June 26.
Hilton surrendered to sheriff's deputies after making a surprise visit to the MTV awards in the afternoon.

"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."

Before he stopped commenting, sheriff's spokesman Steve Whitmore said Hilton was easy to work with.

"Her demeanor was helpful. She was focused, she was cooperative," he said.

Hilton turned herself in at the Men's Central Jail in downtown Los Angeles just after 10:30 p.m., then was escorted to the all women's facility in Lynwood, where she was booked, fingerprinted, photographed, medically screened and issued an orange top and pants, Whitmore said.

Hilton's booking photo showed the heiress wearing what appeared to be a V-neck shirt, eye makeup and lip gloss that highlighted a slight smile. Her long blond hair was draped over one shoulder.

After checking in, Hilton was given her first meal: cereal, bread and juice.

The jail, a two-story concrete building next to train tracks and beneath a bustling freeway, has been an all-female facility since March 2006. It's located in an industrial area about 12 miles southeast of downtown Los Angeles.

"I did have a choice to go to a pay jail," Hilton said Sunday, without giving details. "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."

When she was sentenced May 4, Superior Court Judge Michael T. Sauer ruled that she would not be allowed any work release, furloughs or use of an alternative jail or electronic monitoring in lieu of jail.

Sometimes stars are allowed to do their time in a jail of their choosing. In such cases celebrities pay a daily room-and-board fee to the smaller jails, which afford them more privacy and comfort.

Cop-slapping actress Zsa Zsa Gabor, for example, served three days behind bars in 1990 at the El Segundo jail near the Los Angeles International Airport. She paid $85 a day.

On Saturday, about 15 photographers, reporters and television crews staked out the entrances to the jail waiting for the celebutante's arrival. Authorities had also cordoned off a grassy area outside the facility for the media. She had until Tuesday to report.

On Sunday, about a dozen photographers and television crews were at the Lynwood facility when she arrived in an unmarked SUV. Video captured at the men's facility by celebrity news site TMZ.com showed Hilton inside the vehicle with her mother, Kathy.

Hilton's publicist, Elliot Mintz, said he spoke with Kathy Hilton after she returned from the jail.

"She told me it was very emotional," Mintz said. "She also said that she feels this will be a time when Paris will be able to think and reflect and to spend time alone to learn from the experience because in Paris' life she's never alone - there's always a constant chatter around her."

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.

LOS ANGELES - Sheriff Lee Baca said Friday that Paris Hilton will not be allowed to give television interviews while serving her jail sentence and that aggressive steps were being taken to prevent cameras from being smuggled into the facility.

Hilton was ordered to begin her sentence by Tuesday at a county jail in Lynwood, about five miles south of Los Angeles.

Baca told the Los Angeles Times that deputies and jail employees have been told to treat the 26-year-old heiress like any other inmate.

"Paying a debt to society should not be an element of her celebrity," Baca said. "Her occupation is publicity, but no one should profit in jail."

Hilton could report to jail before Tuesday, but as of Friday afternoon had not done so, said sheriff's spokesman Steve Whitmore. She may report at any time of day, said Whitmore.

Hollywood photo agencies expect a photo of Hilton in jail could be worth big money.

"The reality is why don't they just let her walk down the concrete carpet," said Frank Griffin, co-owner of the Bauer-Griffin paparazzi agency, told the paper. "This is going to be turned into an event like the Oscars."

Hilton was sentenced last month to 45 days for violating the terms of her probation in an alcohol-related reckless driving case after repeatedly driving her car while her license was suspended.

Sheriff's officials have said she will serve about 23 days behind bars because of state rules allowing shorter sentences for good behavior.

Baca said it was unclear whether Hilton will surrender at the court where she was sentenced or report straight to jail. He said authorities will not allow her to "be seen in handcuffs ... or in the back of a police car, forlorn and in handcuffs."

Once there, Hilton will go through the normal intake process, said Baca. That involves undergoing an interview by jail staff and evaluations for any medical and other needs.

"Jails are not circuses and not places where 'fun' is the priority," Baca said. "Jail should be a corrective learning experience."

The jail houses about 2,200 women, but officials have said Hilton will be kept away from the general population. Baca said no decision has been made about whether she'll share a cell with anyone.

Hilton will "experience her incarceration as all other women will experience it," said Baca. "She won't get better food, she won't get different lockup time or a different environment."
