Late Sunday evening Paris Hilton reported to jail where she’s expected to serve at least 23 days for violating probation.
She said in a statement released by her lawyer: “I am ready to face the consequences of violating probation. During the past few weeks I have had a lot of time to think and have come to realize I made some mistakes.
“This is an important point in my life and I need to take responsibility for my actions. In the future, I plan on taking more of an active role in the decisions I make. I want to thank my family, friends and fans for their continued support. Although I am scared, I am ready to begin my jail sentence.”
Hilton turned herself in to the Century Regional Detention Facility in Lynwood just south of Los Angeles.
She was booked, just hours after attending the MTV movie awards, at 11:38 pm. She had to surrender all of her possessions and then was strip searched prior to being issued a uniform. The booking process involved fingerprinting, being photographed, and a medical screening. She cooperated throughout the procedure.
“Ms. Hilton will be housed in a cell by herself and will be segregated, in a special housing unit, from the general population during her stay at CRDF,” the statement said.
Hilton was sentenced to jail on May 4 for violating the terms of her probation by repeatedly driving with a suspended license. She had been placed on probation after pleading no contest to reckless driving in a drunken driving case.
The judge had ordered her to serve 45 days but she could get out within 23 days if she behaves will incarcerated. She’ll have little to no contact with the general inmate population while in jail in order to ensure her safety.
She’ll eat all of her meals in her cell, and will in fact spend approximately 23 hours of each day within her 12 by 8 foot cell. She’ll have one hour for recreation each day.
Britney partied on New Years Eve. We expected that of course, but the latest news is that she partied so hard that she passed out in an L.A. nightclub.
