Despite being sentenced for 45 days in county jail for violating her probation, socialite Paris Hilton is expected to spend three weeks -- and perhaps less -- behind bars, L.A. County sheriff's officials told The Times today.
Until now, officials have said they believed Hilton would serve the entire jail term ordered last week by Superior Court Michael T. Sauer after Hilton repeatedly drove her car while her license was suspended because of a DUI plea.
Sheriff's Department spokesman Steve Whitmore said Hilton's sentence could be cut nearly in half by state law allowing for credit for time served for good behavior. In addition, he said, overcrowding in the jail system could further reduce the time she spends in custody.
Overcrowding has been a major issue in the L.A. County jail system, with some inmates -- even violent ones -- serving as little as 10% of their sentences. (If that standard was applied to Hilton, she would serve less than a week in jail.)
Actress Michelle Rodriguez, who starred on "Lost," was sentenced to 60 days in jail for a probation violation last year but ended up serving less than a day in jail.
"She will be treated like any other inmate who's classified as a low-level security risk," Whitmore said. "There are a series of issues that will come into play here, including her criminal history, the nature of the offense and the population of the facility."
Using those and other factors "the decision will be made as she is booked into the jail," Whitmore said. "We do this with every single inmate."

that’s hot
I think one of these men has just inherited a Cigarette-style speedboat from a long lost uncle.
Who ever bids the most cigarettes wins her for their very own.
Paris ‘seen driving’
Los Angeles - Paris Hilton has been photographed behind the wheel of a car just days after receiving a jail sentence for driving with a suspended licence.
The hotel heiress, who was handed a 45-day jail term last Friday, was apparently seen in her blue Bentley convertible in Los Angeles on Tuesday.
Hilton was followed by paparazzi and the 26-year-old is said to have made three u-turns before managing to reach her final destination.
Meanwhile, the heiress has allegedly switched attorneys in a last-ditch attempt to avoid jail.
She has jumped from criminal defence lawyer Howard Weitzman to specialist DUI (driving under the influence) attorney Richard Hutton, according to gossip website TMZ.com.
I don’t think I’d post any more Hilton threads. The last one (a few minutes ago) is locked. Presidio9 has been banned or suspended.

The only reason this slut went to jail was to get publicity to boost her failed career.
Lifestyles of the Rich & Sleazy???
What the heck?
![]() |
Will Jackie have her try on the bra? (Does the case involve any bras?!) |
I can’t believe she’ll get off for good behavior.
What’s so crazy about this is all she had to do is lift a phone and call a limo to drive her around when her license was suspended.
“If my client’s a twit, you must acquit!”
Freepmail.
I posted in the LA Times blog that if she had only thrown a piss bomb at the LAPD, she would get amnesty!
you can't have a "failed career" if you don't have one in the first place, LOL
With her 3 years of high school, I'm surprised that she isn't pontificating on global warming or mideast policy
/barf
She probably just needs a good spanking.
She’s a spoiled little rich brat who never grew up.
I have a hard time believing that.
She is pretty dumb. But nobody is that dumb. She knows she has cameras pointed at her 24/7 and would not drive, especially in a convertable, after all this.
Even if she is dumb enough to do it, her stylists or agents or whoever they are ~ her people ~ would not let her do it.
Most likely they do not want to unnecessarily expose the other inmates to her STDs.
She earns millions a year being a, well, whatever the heck she is. Not exactly a failure.
Wonder why the paparrazi guy didn’t just call the cops?
I think he may have been warned about posting such stuff over and over.
Course I don’t know for sure so........
I didnt know she had a career. I thought she just sponged off her parents.
Why is she a “slut”?
I thought she was just a brat.
If she was an illegal she could have screamed racism.
The suspension period for her license has ended, so she can drive legally now.
I do not understand why Paris doesn’t just employ a driver ....Under the circumstances . She should find a nice hot young man (also a martial arts expert) to be on call to drive her whereever she needs to go . No shame in that what-so-ever.
She blew her right to drive , so give it up. It beats doing time in the slam !
LMAO
bigtime
Paris seen driving
Los Angeles - Paris Hilton has been photographed behind the wheel of a car just days after receiving a jail sentence for driving with a suspended licence.”
Local TV station last night said the suspension had been lifted.
Ok, on this one it's not the Hilton name that'll get it reduced. This problem is rampant all over the country.
I’ll be surprised if she spends more than 24 hours in jail.
It’s time to start prominsing jobs to the Sheriffs with Hilton Hotel security, and buying protection from the Blood/Crips/MS-13 (whoever).
Probably cheaper than paying attorneys.
You would think that since he was a professional (engineer), and he called, they'd have more suitable people to spend money on for three days, rather than him.
Unless the congresscritters reward states for not having common sense.
Don't know if he was a repeat offender or not.
Paris? High profile, and she showed disdain for the court by showing up late, not to mention violating her the earlier court sentence, and the DMV laws, again...
Let her do the 45.
The article said — Using those and other factors “the decision will be made as she is booked into the jail,” Whitmore said. “We do this with every single inmate.”

Now, the interesting thing here is that the judge did not allow Hilton to choose another jail and pay a daily fee for a better facility. If the judge had allowed that, Hilton would have probably picked another one and then paid (maybe) about $85 per day to stay at another facility (of her choice).
What would that have meant? Well.., that she would have had to stay for her entire stay, because they wouldn’t have had an overcrowding issue at another place where the inmates have to pay $85 a day. Thus, by the judge refusing to let her do that, he basically was *commuting* her sentence... Interesting...
-an illegal alien would not go to jail at all......rme
I didn’t know she charged.
I liked Dennis Miller’s take on this, he called it the “ShawSKANK Redemption” last night on O’Reilly. LMAO
and you know I can *hear* him saying that!
I believe the rule
is that she's a "slut" if she
hasn't slept with you . . .
“I do not understand why Paris doesnt just employ a driver..”
Because it’s hard to be seen in the back of a limo.
She looks like a spolied little brat, not a slut.
She should get the same treatment anyone else would get, but I’m sue if the average person gets sent to jail because they are driving with a revoked license. Especially somebody with no criminal background.
I think the judge was just pissed off by her attituce.
Well, the attitude of a lot of judges pisses me off. They think they are gods who are empowered to legislate from the bench or use their authority to browbeat citizens.
Look at that moron Judge in Washington D.C. who is suing a Korean dry cleaner for several milion dollars because they lost a pair of his pants (FOX News today.)
She's getting off easy with 45 days...we the unrich would get six months!
