Paris Hilton is being held at a treatment center in a downtown Los Angeles jail hours after being ordered her to serve the remainder of her sentence behind bars, L.A. Sheriff Lee Baca confirmed in a press conference Friday afternoon.
During her previous jail time, Hilton had been at the Century Regional Detention Facility in Lynwood, Calif. Currently, the heiress is in custody in a special section of the Twin Towers Correctional Facility.
Sheriff Baca also announced that Hilton’s sentence, which was originally 45 days, is now back to a minimum 23-day sentence.
Earlier Friday, Hilton was taken from court screaming and crying after Superior Court Judge Michael T. Sauer ordered her back to jail.
“It’s not right!” Hilton, 26, said as deputies approached her in the courtroom. She also called out to her mother in the audience: “Mom!” Kathy Hilton, accompanied by Paris’s father Rick, answered: “Honey!”
Hilton’s screams echoed in the courtroom’s internal hallway as she was escorted out. As the courtroom began to clear, Kathy draped her arms around her husband, who tried to console her.
Sheriff Baca said Friday that while Hilton was imprisoned for three days at the Century Regional Detention Facility, her “medical condition had been deteriorating,” though he did not reveal the nature of the ailment. He did say, however, that Hilton had been on medication prior to being jailed, but was not taking any while she was imprisoned.
Holding a one-page medical evaluation, he said: “This is the evidence that this lady has some severe problems.”
Friday morning, Hilton entered the courtroom at 11:00 a.m. wearing a gray sweater, gray pinstripe slacks and looking disheveled with her hair in a messy ponytail. Hilton cried and trembled throughout the hearing. She also clasped her hands in prayer several times and turned to her parents seated behind her in the courtroom and mouthed, “I love you.”
The judge’s decision to send Hilton back to jail came after hearing arguments from both the L.A. City Attorney and Hilton’s lawyers. Judge Sauer ruled that because the sheriff’s department had not adequately submitted medical records supporting the reasons behind Hilton’s transfer, she should be returned to jail.
TMZ.com reports that Hilton’s lawyer plans to appeal the ruling, but no paperwork has been filed yet.
Court spokesman Alan Parachini said after the hearing that Judge Sauer hadn’t bought the sheriff’s “medical condition” rationale for sending Hilton home. “What he said was, on the record, that he’d seen no evidence, no documents to support the contention that there was a medical condition.” Details of Hilton’s alleged condition were not released in court.
Friday afternoon Sheriff Baca said: “We’ve been overruled by the judge, I accept that, and we’ll keep her in county jail.” He also denied giving her preferential treatment, saying that her three-day incarceration was more than what most low-level offenders serve.
“Let’s not make a judicial football of this woman,” the sheriff concluded. “I’ll keep her at the better facility, and we’ll will watch her behavior.”
Earlier in the day, a sheriff’s car picked Hilton up at her home and took her to court for the hearing. As a swarm of media watched, Hilton parted ways with her parents, and her mother told reporters: “It is what it is and it’s in God’s hands now.”
She added: “It’s out of our hands. There’s nothing we can do.”
Asked how her daughter was faring, Kathy said earlier, “She’s doing the best she can.”
Hilton was seen being handcuffed before getting into a police cruiser and was photographed crying in the backseat.
As the gates of the driveway opened, the scene was pandemonium, with the officers on their bullhorns and Hilton’s fans screaming.
Friday’s proceeding was granted by Judge Sauer after the Los Angeles City Attorney requested an emergency hearing to demand that the Sheriff’s Department put Hilton back in jail.
City Attorney Rocky Delgadillo had accused the department of disobeying the judge’s original sentencing orders, which explicitly forbade electronic monitoring.
Yet due to an undisclosed medical condition, Hilton was released from Century Regional Detention Facility in Lynwood, Calif., early Thursday and reassigned to home detention after serving just three days of her minimum 23-day sentence.
The heiress was fitted with an ankle bracelet and her original 45-day sentence was reinstated – since she’d enjoy the confines of her Hollywood Hills home instead of a 12-by-8-foot cell – with credit for five days served.
Hilton’s reassignment sparked outrage across the nation; the L.A. Board of Supervisors alone received more than 500 angry calls, e-mails and faxes by Thursday afternoon. At least two of the supervisors demanded an investigation.
I think she deserved it, but they are really making her go crazy at this point…..

Paris Hilton’s psychiatrist declared that the heiress is “distraught and traumatized” and “fears incarceration” after a judge sentenced her to 45 days in jail.
Dr. Charles Sophy gave those findings in a Los Angeles Superior Court document filed Monday in an ongoing $10 million slander and libel suit against Hilton by actress Zeta Graff.
Hilton is facing an order to testify in the civil trial beginning May 21, but the psychiatrist argues that “given (Hilton’s) current psychological, and emotional state … (she’s) not capable of any meaningful participation in a trial.”
Sophy says Hilton, 26, needs to recover from the outcome of the jail sentence. Hilton was given jail time for violating her probation for driving with a suspended license.
The documents, filed by Hilton’s lawyers in the slander suit, show that Dr. Sophy has been treating Hilton for the past eight months, and had met with her several times since her probation violation hearing.
“She is emotionally distraught and traumatized as a consequence of the findings at the May 4 hearing, the jail sentence imposed upon her by the judge, and her fear of incarceration,” Sophy wrote.
Graff has accused Hilton of fabricating lies against her which appeared in a July 2005 edition of the New York Post. Graff alleges that she was falsely described as stalking Hilton and her ex, Paris Latsis (whom Graff had dated).
Hilton’s rep declined to comment on the psychiatric report.

Paris Hilton is now part of a grass-roots campaign to keep her out of jail.
In a message that went up Monday on her MySpace page, the hotel heiress writes (in her own spelling): “My friend Joshua started this petition, please help and sihn it. i LOVE YOU ALL!!!!!”
The petition, directed to California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, asks that Hilton be pardoned from her sentence of 45 days in jail for violating the terms of her probation by driving with a suspended license. The punishment was handed down in Los Angeles Superior Court on Friday. An appeal has been filed.
“I urge all fans and supporters and all that are outraged by injustice to sign this petition,” writes Hilton.
Not that everyone is hopping the Hilton bandwagon – entirely.
One posting on Paris’s page, from a “Raven,” reads, “It’s so frustrating to me when famous people get off lightly for crimes that a regular person would be held full responsibility for. I don’t think she should get a full 45 days though. She didn’t hurt anybody and she seems very sorry. I can see letting her go without jail time if she takes some kind of classes about alcohol abuse.”
Someone who is a great booster of Hilton is her former publicist, Elliot Mintz, who was relieved of his duties after Hilton’s sentence was rendered. (Mintz had wrongly informed Hilton of the status of her license, he admitted.)
Since the firing, emotions have cooled, and Mintz told PEOPLE on Monday that he planned to meet with Hilton over dinner. “We’re going to talk the way intelligent folks speak to each other. Not on cell phones and blackberries,” he said. “We are going to see where it takes us.”
Talking of their troubles, Mintz added, “Paris was very upset after the hearing, as you can well imagine. Extremely upset. I was equally as upset. But the [firing] action was generated by her.”
P
According to Mintz, 62, who began his career as a radio DJ, “I completely understood the reaction. She was in a traumatic, frightened state on Friday, when the judge made the insane ruling. I understood her reaction from the very second it occurred.”

– Hilton will only be allowed one five-minute shower a day … with plain soap. The horror!
– Two pairs of socks and panties (if she needs them).
– Part of her day will be spent washing her underwear in the shower, since the detention center contains no laundry facilities, and her housekeeper will not be in the maid’s quarters.
– Her breakfast will be a boiled egg and not much else. Very British.
– Lunch is typically a bologna sandwich … not quite Polo Lounge fare.
– Paris’s visitors will be received through a glass partition… which she might want to continue doing even after serving her time!
– Her contact with the outside world will be via pay phone, instead of a BlackBerry and the paparazzi.
– She is not allowed makeup, highlights or hair extensions, which may inspire the heiress to fight for changes to the cruel, cruel penal code.

Emotions flared at the Paris Hilton hearing on Friday, according to one eyewitness observer with an exceptionally good view: Mona Shafer Edwards, a freelance courtroom sketch artist with 25 years’ experience.
Observing the Hilton family’s reaction before and after Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Michael Sauer sentenced the 26-year-old hotel heiress to 45 days in jail for violating the terms of her probation, Edwards tells PEOPLE that while prosecutors were delivering their final statements, Hilton looked down discreetly into her purse at a compact and checked her makeup.
Minutes before the sentence was handed down, according to Edwards, Hilton made the sign of the cross with her right hand, then kissed her fingers.
Judge Sauer was particularly stern with his comments to Hilton, whom, he said, “disregarded everything” by repeatedly driving with a suspended license.
After the general public had cleared the courtroom, Hilton began to tear up. Sheriffs brought her a box of Kleenex, and she held a wad of tissues to her face as she placed her head down.
Then, said Edwards, Hilton’s mother, Kathy Hilton, angrily burst from the courtroom seating area toward the attorneys’ table, saying loudly, “I can’t believe this, I can’t believe this.”
She went over to her daughter’s side, standing over her and putting her arm around Paris as others crowded around her.
Eventually, Paris stood and was hugged by her father, Rick Hilton, who said, “I can’t believe this, either.”
“I don’t know what happened,” said Paris. “I did what they said.”
Kathy Hilton, red in the face, then walked up to one of the prosecutors and screamed, “You’re pathetic.” She then asked sarcastically, “Can I have your autograph?”
The prosecutor to whom Hilton had delivered her outburst completely ignored her, said Edwards.
About half a dozen sheriffs’ deputies then approached Kathy Hilton, who screamed at them, “Don’t you touch me, don’t you touch me.”
As the family was about to exit the courtroom, said Edwards, Kathy Hilton declared for all to hear, “[The judge] made up his mind before he even came in today. If it were anyone else, this would’ve never had happened.”
She then exclaimed, “And after all the money we spent!”
Hilton’s attorney, Howard Weitzman, vows to appeal the sentence, while Judge Sauer has ordered The Simple Life star to begin serving her time at the Century Regional Detention Center before June 5.
On Saturday, a despondent-looking Hilton was seen leaving a chauffeur-driven SUV and stepping into the Beverly Hills restaurant Prego for lunch, reports the New York Post.
Like other celebrity Los Angeles County inmates who have been incarcerated in the jail, Hilton will be separated from the general population for her own safety, the Associated Press reports. (Among previous names to have served there is former Lost star Michelle Rodriguez, whose 60-day sentence for violating probation terms after her drunken driving arrest in Hawaii ended after barely more than four hours, due to the jail’s being overcrowded.)
Each day, the incarcerated are permitted outside their cells for an hour to shower, watch TV in the day room, participate in outdoor activities or talk on the phone. (Cell phones are not allowed in the jail cells.)
As for food, inmates are offered three-poultry-based low-sodium meals a day. The jail’s overseer calls it “a very nice place.”
No Mz. Hilton I think if it had been anyone else they would have been thrown in jail money ain’t everything bitch…

A Los Angeles County Superior Court judge has sentenced Paris Hilton to 45 days in L.A. County jail for violating her probation in a reckless driving case. Judge Michael T. Sauer handed down the harsh sentence, telling Paris she will not be allowed work release, furloughs, use of an alternative jail or electronic monitoring in lieu of jail. She must do the time!
An emotional Paris, with tears welling up in her eyes, told the judge moments before the decision “I’m sorry, I’m sorry.” Witnesses inside the courtroom say that Paris’ parents, Rick and Kathy Hilton, were both visibly upset as the sentence was handed down. Kathy, we’re told, was especially distraught.
The judge called out her rep Elliot Mintz in court, describing his testimony as “completely worthless.” He also told Paris that he did not believe that she was unaware of her license suspension, adding that she had paperwork in her car stating that her license was suspended.
Shortly after the punishment was handed out, defense attorney Howard Weitzman said he would appeal. “I’m shocked, I’m surprised and really disheartened in the system that I’ve worked in for close to 40 years,” Weitzman said, adding that the sentence was “uncalled for, inappropriate and bordered on the ludicrous. I think she’s singled out because of who she is.”
Paris will serve her sentence at the Century Regional Detention Facility (CRDF). She will begin her sentence on June 5. If Hilton fails to report on the scheduled date, her sentence will be doubled.
She needs to go to jail… Just for taking up the so much of the media’s time.. Throw her ass in the slammer babe....
Paris Hilton is in big trouble, if the Los Angeles City Attorney has his way. TMZ has obtained documents filed with the court, in which prosecutors say they want Hilton to spend 45 days in jail.
Paris must appear tomorrow on a probation violation, for allegedly driving on a suspended license. Hilton was already on probation after pleading no contest last January to alcohol-related reckless driving. The DMV had suspended Hilton’s license as a result of her DUI bust.
While her license was suspended, Hilton was stopped by the CHP last January 15, and again by the L.A. County Sheriffs on February 27.
The City Attorney will argue that Hilton certainly knew after she was stopped in January that she wasn’t allowed to drive, so the second stop was a flagrant violation of law.
The documents suggest Hilton mistakenly relied on her lawyer’s assumption that Hilton had a right to drive, but the City Attorney claims in the legal papers that it’s a bogus argument.
