Everyone is saying Paris will get out of jail within a day or two, as Michelle Rodriguez was released from the same facility after just over 4 hours of a longer 60 day sentence due to prison overcrowding. Unfortunately for Paris, overcrowding is no longer a problem at the LA county women’s prison, and she may serve much more time than expected:

Until late last year, overcrowded jail facilities in the county had led Sheriff Lee Baca to release most inmates early, including immediately processing out anyone sentenced to less than 90 days in jail. That is no longer true, and Baca’s spokesman, Steve Whitmore, said Friday that his understanding of the judge’s order meant Hilton was likely to serve the full 45 days.

Other details include Paris making the sign of the cross before the sentencing was announced, and claiming that she didn’t understand her probation requirements, using the excuse “I just sign what people tell me to sign…. I’m a very busy person.”

Surely she understood that she wasn’t able to drive after she was pulled over and cited for driving with a suspended license the first time. Add another bust for driving with a suspended license and it just sounds like she’s lying.

Paris won’t be busy for long. Starting June 5th she’ll have plenty of time to read and think, and just one hour a day to watch TV, talk on the phone, and shower.

While some news sources had Paris 10 minutes late for her court hearing, which is what we reported here, others say she was actually 18 minutes late. I wonder if that cost her extra time in jail.
