Paris Hilton Released to Her Home

Due to an undisclosed "medical condition," Paris Hilton has been reassigned from jail to her home, where she will wear an electronic monitoring device.

"She was not released, she was reassigned," Los Angeles County Sheriff's Dept. spokesperson Steve Whitmore said at a press conference Thursday.

In a statement released to TMZ.com by Hilton's lawyer, the heiress said Thursday: "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."

At the press conference, Whitmore provided few other details about Hilton's medical condition, citing privacy laws, and declined to say whether it was physical or psychological, or whether it related in any way to reports that Hilton had been miserable behind bars.

Whitmore also did not know whether the condition was pre-existing, but said the decision to reassign Hilton was made after "extensive consultation" with medical personnel.

He did say that she did not have a staph infection, responding to reports that the facility had experienced a staph outbreak.

Hilton was transferred shortly after midnight on Thursday, Whitmore said. "She was transported out of here by us, there was a transference to her attorney, and then she was taken home." Asked how her spirits were, he replied: "She was ... focused, let's put it that way."

As a result of the reassignment to her home, Whitmore said, Hilton's original 45-day sentence has been reinstated. In essence, this "nearly doubles her sentence" in terms of days, he pointed out, as she had been expected to serve 23 days behind bars with good behavior.

If she violates the terms of the reassignment, he added, "she will be remanded immediately to the court. ... The judge made it clear that that would be an automatic bump-up to 90 days."

Hilton has been credited with five days of time served and will spend the remaining 40 days confined to her home wearing an ankle bracelet with a range of 3,000-4,000 square feet.

Asked whether she would be confined completely, Whitmore said: "There's some fudge with that. If someone goes and gets their mail, if they're 30 minutes outside, that's okay. It's a complicated electronic situation."

Whitmore said that leeway would not extend to parties or events. "Here's my understanding: She's confined to her home with an ankle bracelet. She cannot leave that facility," he said.

Hilton will remain at her Hollywood Hills mansion, which includes a swimming pool, a large kitchen with a marble island, two living rooms – one of which has a stripper pole installed – and portraits of the heiress on the wall.

Whitmore said the sheriff's department is not concerned with appearing to be soft on the celebrity inmate. "It doesn't matter how we look, really," he said. "We just hopefully do our job and do it professionally, with a sense of humanity."

TMZ.com reported Thursday morning that Hilton had been released early Thursday.

Hilton, 26, began her sentence Sunday night at the Century Regional Detention Facility in Lynwood, south of Los Angeles.

She was sentenced to 45 days in jail for violating her probation by driving with a suspended license. Amid speculation that she would actually serve much less time due to prison overcrowding, police said she would spend at least 23 days behind bars.

Paris Hilton Is Ordered Back to Jail


LOS ANGELES, June 8 — The national obsession with celebrity collided head-on with the more serious issue of the equal application of justice on Friday, as a judge sent the socialite Paris Hilton back to jail some 36 hours after she was released for an unspecified medical problem.

Judge Michael T. Sauer ordered Ms. Hilton to serve out the remainder of her sentence in a county lock-up after the city attorney, whose office had prosecuted the heiress, filed a petition asking that the sheriff’s department be held in contempt or explain why it had released her with an ankle monitor on Thursday, after she had served just five days.

Ms. Hilton had been sentenced to 45 days in jail for violating the terms of her probation in an alcohol-related reckless driving case. With time off for good behavior, she had been expected to serve 23.

Ms. Hilton, 26, wearing no makeup and with her hair disheveled, sobbed and screamed, “Mom, this isn’t right,” as she was taken from the packed courtroom by deputies.

It was a rare moment in this star-filled city, where badly behaving celebrities can seemingly get away with anything — or at least D.U.I. But Ms. Hilton, for all her money and celebrity, seems to have been caught between battling arms of the legal justice system here, with prosecutors and Judge Sauer determined to make a point by incarcerating her, only to have the sheriff’s office let her go.

“She’s a pawn in a turf fight right now,” said Laurie Levenson, a law professor at Loyola Law School Los Angeles. “It backfired against her because she’s a celebrity. She got a harsher sentence because she was a celebrity. And then when her lawyer found a way out of jail, there was too much public attention for it to sit well with the court.”

The struggle between the judge and the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department, which runs the jail, incited indignation far beyond the attention normally paid to a minor criminal matter.

Judicial and police officials here said they were inundated with calls from outraged citizens and curious media outlets from around the country and beyond. The Rev. Al Sharpton, the civil rights activist and media fixture, decried Ms. Hilton’s release as an example of “double standards,” where consideration was given to a pampered rich girl that would never be accorded an average inmate.

Even the presidential candidate John Edwards found himself drawn into the debate. When asked about Ms. Hilton’s release on Thursday he said, “Without regard to Paris Hilton, we have two Americas and I think what’s important is, it’s obvious that the problem exists.”

California has been struggling to comply with a federal order to ease overcrowding in its jails and prisons, and Los Angeles County Sheriff Lee Baca has for the past year implemented a program of early release. But that has frustrated prosecutors who believe that early release undermines their efforts to punish those found to have broken the law.

At a news conference on Friday, Mr. Baca said, “The special treatment appears to be her celebrity status. She got more time in jail.” Under the normal terms of the early release program, he said, Ms. Hilton would not have served “any time in our jail.”

The city attorney whose office prosecuted Ms. Hilton’s case, Rocky Delgadillo, said preferential treatment had led to her being sent home with an ankle bracelet. In the original order sentencing Ms. Hilton to jail, the judge had specifically stated that Ms. Hilton would not be allowed a work furlough, work release or an electronic monitoring device in lieu of jail time.

“We cannot tolerate a two-tiered jail system where the rich and powerful receive special treatment,” Mr. Delgadillo said after learning of the release.

In a news conference on Friday afternoon, Mr. Baca said that Ms. Hilton “had a serious medical condition,” though he declined to say what it was. He said, “This is evidence that this lady has severe problems.” But, he added, “The criminal justice system should not make a football out of Miss Hilton’s status.”

In a scene that seemed a strange parody of O. J. Simpson’s low-speed chase more than a decade ago, news cameras from across the country followed a police cruiser containing Ms. Hilton as it drove slowly down from her home to Superior Court Friday .

The issue became non-stop fodder for news channels like CNN and Fox News, crowding out news on immigration legislation or the latest from Iraq, as legal experts debated how rare the decision was to release her, and whether doing so neutralized, negated or otherwise neutered the judge’s original order.


Amid the debate over serious questions of equal justice under the law came speculation over the nature of Ms. Hilton’s “medical situation,” which Mr. Baca gave as the reason for her release. On television, commentators questioned whether she was a suicide risk or if she was eating properly in jail.

Judge Sauer had ordered the hearing for 9 a.m. When Ms. Hilton did not appear, apparently believing that she could participate by telephone, he sent sheriff’s deputies to escort her from her home.

When she arrived and the hearing began, the judge said he had received a call on Wednesday from an undersheriff informing him that Ms. Hilton had a medical condition and that the sheriff’s office would submit papers to the judge to consider releasing her early. The judge said the papers describing a “psychological” problem never arrived and, every few minutes during Friday’s court session, interrupted the proceedings to state the time and note that the papers had still not shown up.

In ordering her return to jail, Judge Sauer said that there were adequate medical facilities within the system to deal with Ms. Hilton’s problems.

Ms. Hilton was not the only high-profile defendant whose celebrity prompted a raised eyebrow from a judge this week. Also on Friday, the judge who sentenced I. Lewis Libby Jr. to prison this week issued an order dripping with acid sarcasm after receiving a supporting brief from a dozen prominent legal scholars, including Alan M. Dershowitz of Harvard and Robert H. Bork, the former Supreme Court nominee.

The judge, Reggie B. Walton of the Federal District Court in Washington, said he would be pleased to see similar efforts for defendants less famous than Mr. Libby, formerly the chief of staff to Vice President Dick Cheney.

“The court trusts,” he wrote, in a footnote longer than the order itself, that the brief for Mr. Libby “is a reflection of these eminent academics’ willingness in the future to step up to the plate and provide like assistance in cases involving any of the numerous litigants, both in this court and throughout the courts of our nation, who lack the financial means to fully and properly articulate the merits of their legal positions.”

“The court,” he added, “will certainly not hesitate to call for such assistance from these luminaries.”

Paris' day got off to a bad start, and got progressively worse. First, a police cruiser stopped by her home in West Hollywood, placing her in handcuffs and throwing her in the back of the car. She was caught crying in the back of the police car by swarms of paparazzi. Then she arrived at Court, where in yet another bizarre turn of events, Paris Hilton has been sent back to jail.

If you recall, she was released after having served just three days of her 23 day jail term, which was reduced from the original sentence of 45 days. Upon being released from jail, Hilton still wasn't quite a free woman, and was assigned to 40 days of house arrest due to a "medical condition."

In a court hearing today, the judge decided to send Paris back to prison to serve the remainder of her sentence. He claims not to have approved the change of sentencing to house arrest, and is now making Paris serve the original 45 days behind bars.

Judge Sauer was quoted as saying, "I don't know why the defendant couldn't be treated at Lynwood, because they have a great medical facility."

Paris Hilton was visibly upset in court today, and was "physically dragged" from the courtroom.

She screamed at the top of her lungs, crying for her mother - "Mom, mom, mom!" she shrieked as they removed her from the courtroom. But despite her screaming, sobbing, and endless pleas for her mother, Paris Hilton was transported back to prison.

Update :

Paris Hilton will be spending the weekend in the medical ward at the Twin Towers Correctional facility in LA. While in the med ward, Hilton's lawyers will be busy drafting and filing an appeal, called a writ of habeas corpus, which means that essentially she is being held illegally.

Update #2:

Greta Van Susteren from Court TV and Fox, who was standing about 2 feet away from Hilton has said that there was clearly something medically wrong with Paris. She said she was shaking and panicking... almost like she was going through detox! With her partying ways, it wouldn't be surprising if she was coming off a drug habit...

Crying and Screaming Paris Hilton Back in Jail



LOS ANGELES - Screaming and crying, Paris Hilton was escorted out of a courtroom and back to jail Friday after a judge ruled that she must serve out her entire 45-day sentence behind bars rather than in her Hollywood Hills home.

"It's not right!" shouted the weeping Hilton, who violated her parole in a reckless driving case. "Mom!" she called out to her mother in the audience.

Hilton, who was brought to court in handcuffs in a sheriff's car, came into the courtroom disheveled and weeping, hair askew, sans makeup, wearing a gray fuzzy sweat shirt over slacks.

She cried throughout the hearing, her body shook constantly and she dabbed at her eyes. Several times she turned to her parents, seated behind her in the courtroom, and mouthed, "I love you."

Superior Court Judge Michael T. Sauer was calm but apparently irked by the morning's developments. He said he had left the courthouse Thursday night having signed an order for Hilton to appear for the hearing.

When he got in his car early Friday, he said, he heard a radio report that he had approved Hilton's participation in the hearing by telephone, but he had not.

"I at no time condoned the actions of the sheriff and at no time told him I approved the actions," he said of the decision to release Hilton from jail after three days.

"At no time did I approve the defendant being released from custody to her home on Kings Road," Sauer said.

Assistant City Attorney Dan F. Jeffries argued that Hilton should be returned to jail, and said that was purely the judge's decision to make. "Her release after only three days erodes confidence in the judicial system," Jeffries said.

Hilton's attorney, Richard Hutton, implored the judge to order a hearing in his chambers at which he would hear testimony about Hilton's medical condition before making a decision.

The judge did not respond to that suggestion.

Another of her attorneys, Steve Levine, said, "The sheriff has determined that because of her medical situation, this (jail) is a dangerous place for her."

"The court's role here is to let the Sheriff's Department run the jail," he said.

A former district attorney, Robert Philibosian, also represented Hilton. He said that the law supports the sheriff in making an independent decision on her custodial situation.

The judge interrupted several times to say that he had received a call last Wednesday from an undersheriff informing him that Hilton had a medical condition and that he would submit papers to the judge to consider. He said the papers never arrived.

Every few minutes, the judge would interrupt proceedings and state the time on the clock and note that the papers still had not arrived.

He also noted that he had heard that a private psychiatrist visited Hilton in jail and he wondered if that person played a role in deciding her medical needs.

The circus that follows Paris Hilton almost everywhere was out in raucous full force Friday at Superior Court here, waving signs and dancing jigs. But when the judge's order came down that she had to return to jail, the celebutante's supporters were reduced to stunned silence.

"Oh no," Hilton supporter "Melrose" Larry Green muttered softly, shaking his head at the news that Hilton would be going back to the slammer for violating her probation on a reckless driving conviction.

"People are just jealous of her because her name is Hilton, and she's part of the Hilton hotels," he had said a couple hours earlier after doing a dance to show his support.

"I love the Hilton hotels," he added, "especially the one in New York."

The ruling by Superior Court Judge Michael Sauer also had its supporters.

"I think justice was served," civil rights activist Najee Ali said. "It helps restore the public confidence that was eroding nationally with the star-struck judicial system."

At the same time, Ali expressed sympathy for the star of TV's "The Simple Life."

"This is not a time to celebrate. It is a time to pray for her and her family," he said.

Earlier, news helicopters buzzed Hilton's Hollywood Hills home and paparazzi swarmed a sheriff's patrol car as the sobbing, handcuffed heiress was placed inside and driven to the court.

Inside the courtroom, Hilton's hair was askew and she wore no makeup. She cried throughout the hearing.

Outside, Hilton's supporters were outnumbered by TV crews and other journalists who swarmed the courthouse just a day after the Sheriff's Department released Hilton for an undisclosed medical reason.

Still, the supporters were loud and prominent as an airplane towed a banner overhead proclaiming, "We Love Paris."

Several people who appeared with Hilton in episodes of "The Simple Life" also turned out.

Among them was Joey Carmona, who said the heiress inspired him to lose 30 pounds when she paid a visit to a weight-loss camp as part of the show.

"She supported us on that show, and we're here to support her now," he said before the start of the hearing.

Carmona wouldn't say whether he thought Hilton had been treated fairly by the judicial system or should be returned to jail.

"That's really not for me to say," he said.

Another supporter, Arlene Hampton, held a sign with a photograph of herself and the heiress and the words: "Prayn4U. Love, Arlene."

"She was very supportive, very open and very personable," when she visited the weight-loss camp, Hampton said.

Some were at the courthouse were there for other matters, but were ready with an opinion. Moses Baltazar was there to clear up a traffic ticket.

He acknowledged he was not a fan of Hilton, saying he was working as a valet the only time he met her. She tipped him just a dollar after he went to the trouble of keeping paparazzi away from her.

Baltazar felt Hilton should be returned to jail.

"Driving like that, you have to behave," said Baltazar, 20. "If you're rich, you have money, you have to respect yourself."

Paris Hilton 11 Times More Special Than You - Official

Every reaction, they say, has an equal and opposite reaction.

Take the recent pictures of Paris Hilton weeping and blubbing as she was carted off back to jail. hecklerspray found the whole affair so hilarious, in fact, that a couple of us in the office actually smiled. Yesiree, there's few things that harbour more comic gold than a stupid rich woman being humiliated in front of the whole wide world.

Of course, there has to be a flipside to this.

Sure, sure, is Paris Hilton's incarceration one of the funniest things ever? Is her bawling misery a source of joy for every right-thinking person on the planet? Should her jail sentence, perhaps, be extended to the end of time itself? You may say yes, yes and yes again - but there's a truth a-comin' that might just offset that grin of yours.

Paris Hilton, you see, is officially worth about 11 times more than your average inmate. Not in terms of moral or ethical value, of course - in those terms, we'd probably put her somewhere in between Al Capone and Beth from Brookside.

No, no, no: we mean that it's actually costing the US taxpayer 11 times the amount it would take to incarcerate a 'normal' criminal.

Apparently:

The 26-year-old hotel heiress costs Los Angeles County $1,109.78, compared to the average $99.64 (GBP49.82). Los Angeles Sheriff's Department spokesman Steve Whitmore tells website TMZ.com, Hilton's tab includes medical treatment and staff associated with her requirements. Hilton was sent back to the Century Regional Detention Center in Lynwood, California on Friday (08Jun07) to finish the 45-day sentence she began earlier this month (03Jun07) - after a judge reversed the decision to allow her to complete the sentence under house arrest. If Hilton had finished her sentence at home, it would have cost the County nothing.

To cut a long story short? Same old, same old.

It's one rule for Paris and one rule for us mere mortals. Face it, readers: if any of you were thrown into a jail, it'd probably be a non-stop hellish miasma of degradation, abuse and rampant forced bum-sex. You think Paris is going to be part of anything like that?

Well. Not until her next video, anyway.

Paris Hilton: 'I'm no longer superficial'

Jailed heiress Paris Hilton has vowed to change her ways following her conviction.

The 26-year-old said she was no longer a "superficial girl" and realised that acting dumb was "no longer cute".

Behind bars, Hilton has been wearing an orange jump-suit and is not allowed make-up.

She added: "I'm not that superficial girl. I haven't looked in the mirror since I got here. I feel that the purpose of my life is to be where I am."

The heiress also revealed that she has been allowed to play table tennis when not in her cell and that the other women had all been friendly and the guards had been fair.

Hilton was jailed last week but, after serving only three full days, was told by Los Angeles County Sheriff she could serve the remainder of her sentence at home, wearing a tag.

But the decision angered Supreme Court Judge Michael Sauer who called a court hearing on Friday and sent a sobbing and screaming Hilton back to jail.

Instead of returning to her original cell at Los Angeles County Jail's Lynwood prison, Hilton was put in the Twin Towers detention centre where she underwent medical assessments.

[abadani69]

Paris Hilton was transferred back to an all-women's jail because her condition was declared stable after nearly a week in a medical ward, a sheriff's official said Thursday.

Hilton was brought late Wednesday to the Century Regional Detention Facility in Lynwood and placed in the medical clinic there. If all goes well, she will return to the jail's special needs unit and be released June 25, spokesman Steve Whitmore said at a news conference.

The 26-year-old socialite and reality TV star began her 45-day sentence June 3 at Lynwood, where she was confined to a solitary cell in the special needs unit away from the other 2,200 inmates.

Judge Michael T. Sauer, who specified at Hilton's sentencing last month that she not serve time at home or with the use of electronic monitoring, sent her back to jail last Friday, saying he hadn't condoned her release.

Hilton was taken to the downtown Twin Towers jail, which houses men and the county's medical treatment center, where she underwent medical and psychiatric exams to determine where she should be held.

She failed a sobriety test after police saw her weaving down a street in her Mercedes-Benz last September. Hilton pleaded no contest to reckless driving and was sentenced to three years' probation.

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.

Hilton's case has caused a firestorm of criticism over whether she was getting special treatment because Baca sent her home after serving just three days of her sentence.

Paris Roundup: Nicky & Friends Visit Jail

Paris Hilton got a visit from her sister Nicky at the medical clinic of the women's jail in Lynwood, Calif., over the weekend.

Nicky arrived with boyfriend David Katzenberg and Julie Araskog, a longtime friend of the Hilton family. TMZ.com reported that Nicky left a small, unidentified red package with corrections officers as she was leaving the facility.

Meanwhile, Paris's jail sentence elicited a range of different reactions from celebs over the weekend. Is her punishment fair? Will she change her ways after jail? Here's a rundown:


Kevin Connolly: Paris Is a Cat

Entourage star Kevin Connolly, who once dated Nicky Hilton, offered his love and support for the Hilton family – plus some insight into Paris's Kevin Connolly



resilience. "Rick and Kathy are absolutely fantastic people and I can not say enough good things about them," he told PEOPLE Saturday at a Hampton magazine party. "They're great people. They're great parents. And they're a tight family. They'll make it through. Because they stay together as a family, they're tight."

And Paris? "Paris is like a cat," Connolly says. "She always lands on her feet she always has. She'll be fine. It seems tough and for her, I'm sure it is tough. But like I said, they're a tight family unit and they'll get through it with each other. I love Rick and Kathy. They've been so nice to me . . . . they're good people."


Ellen & Vivica's Lessons Learned

At the Daytime Emmy Awards Friday night, Paris was on the minds of several celebs, including big winner Ellen DeGeneres and Vivica A. Fox, who was recently cited for a DUI. "I just think it's a huge learning lesson for all celebrities to learn that we are not above the law, that if you do commit a crime you will serve the time," she said. "The main thing you should do is take responsibility for your actions.

"I still love Paris Hilton, I think she's great," Fox added. "She's going to get more coverage when her butt gets out of jail. It's going to be a special alert. We're all going to watch, right? But I think that's a huge lesson for her to learn that you're not above the law."

For her part, DeGeneres hopes Hilton is serious about dropping the "dumb act," as she has promised. "If that really was an act, and she really was playing dumb, then what does that say about our society that we're celebrating someone who's successful because they're not smart," she told reporters. "I just think it's a bad sign and she shouldn't contribute to that."
