It is all in Paris Hilton's head, at least that is what law enforcement is telling TMZ. They added that she was on the verge of a nervous breakdown and that is why she was "reassigned." Psychiatrist Charles Sophy who was counseling Paris told the sheriff's office that her mental state was frail and she was at risk. Let me ask you, who wouldn't be in that position? She got off so lucky and this is such BS because you know she is home sleeping, watching TV and calling and BlackBerrying her friends right now. It is like when you ground a kid and their room is full of all the good stuff like TV, games, cell phone and computer, how is it grounding the kid? In fact TMZ has learned that her house arrest does not come with any provisions on how many guests she can have over and how much she drinks. That is so FUS. Like I said before party at Paris' for the next 39 nights.
In a statement obtained by TMZ by her lawyer Paris Hilton had this say:
"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."
What could she learn in 3 days? Even though they are counting her days served as five? She will be no different.
I am glad that LA officials are upset about this. L.A. County Supervisor Don Knabe and the Sheriff's Union have already spoken out about how unhappy they are about her reassignment.
On a side note, because of almost everyone's negative reaction to Paris' release, I wonder if this means very bad news for her co-star and good buddy Nicole Richie? Will she be the example that celebs don't get special treatment?
UPDATE: The SF Examiner is reporting that neither the Judge or the prosecuting attorney agreed to her reassignment. "The judicial process may have been improperly circumvented in this case," said City Attorney Rocky Delgadillo. "This explanation is puzzling. Los Angeles County jail medical facilities are well-equipped to deal with medical situations involving inmates." And Superior Court spokesman Allan Parachini spoke for Judge Michael T. Sauer, "He did not agree to the terms of release that the sheriff proposed." Sheriff Lee Baca who set Paris free is currently up for re-election, he does not have my vote and I am sure he lost a lot more today.
Paris Hilton is free after serving only 3 days. Paris Hilton was released from jail early because of medical reasons. The PIO from the LA Sheriff's office did not say what the medical reason were because he is prohibited by law to disclose it. He added that she was not on suicide watch.
Even though Paris is out of jail, she was was fitted with an ankle bracelet and is confined to her home for the rest of the sentence. He said she will not be allowed to leave her house even for work. She is confined to her house for 40 days, so I guess party at Pairs' for 39 nights.
The PIO said she was not released, just reassigned.
I just have to say that the PIO is a like a double talking Preacher/Lawyer, he is just painful to watch. And most of the questions need to be answered by the parole board, who of course were not there. KTTV said it best that is the funniest press conference they ever saw.
I think it is BS that she was released early and able to serve her time at home. This will not change her and not teach her and her former and current friends attitudes. She will think she will get away with anything.
So what do you think the medical reason is for release? And why did she get special treatment? Is that fair to the other prisoners?
Seriously that looks more like a Glamour Shots or a Graduation photo then it does a mugshot. Granted she also showed up to jail in her MTV Movie Awards' dress, so why did I expect anything better. So sad.
UPDATE: This is the real Paris Hilton mug shot for the records. TMZ said they are unsure where the above one came from, but the bottom one is Paris Hilton's official mug shot.
UPDATE 2: The above picture was from September 7th arrest according to TMZ
Paris Hilton's lawyer Richard A Hutton announced that Paris has turned herself in and has started serving her time in jail. She issued the floowing statement:
"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," stated Paris Hilton. "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."
Paris being Paris went to the MTV Movie Awards before going over to her parents house and then to turn herself into jail. TMZ chronicled Paris's last few minutes of freedom, "It didn't go down at the jail. Paris' mega-lawyer, Richard Hutton, picked her up at her parents' house at 10:30 PM. Hilton, Hutton, mom Kathy and sister Nicky then drove to the Men's Central Jail in downtown Los Angeles — commonly referred to as the Twin Towers — where Paris officially surrendered to the L.A. County Sheriff to begin her 23-day sentence. The Sheriff devised the plan of surrendering miles away from the actual where Paris will be doing time because the crush of paparazzi at the jail created a potential safety hazard. Paris was then driven to the jail in Lynwood where she is now serving her sentence." TMZ also has video video of her leaving her parents' house.
You have to give her credit for going out in style by going to the MTV Movie Awards. I seriously thought she was going to wait until 11:59p on June 5th. I wonder will her sentence start on June 2nd or June 3rd? Because isn't that like cheating a day by checking in at 10:30p?
I wonder will jail change Paris Hilton's attitude about life and make her less superficial about things?
UPDATE: Yesterday counted and her expected release date is June 26th, so 22 days and counting…
