Paris Hilton goes down for 23 days'Scared' heiress caged in celebrity chokeyPublished Monday 4th June 2007 10:03 GMT Paris Hilton yesterday began her 23 day sentence for violating probation on a drink-drive rap, the BBC reports. The highly-talented "heiress-turned-pop singer" presented herself at Century Regional Detention Centre in Lynwood, California, shortly after bidding a temporary farewell to her public at the MTV Movie Awards. She admitted to reporters: "I'm definitely scared, but I'm ready to face my sentence," adding: "Even though this is a really hard time, I have my family, my friends and my fans to support me, and that's really helpful." Hilton said she'd been offered the chance to go to a "pay jail", but had declined. She said: "I'm going to do the time and I am going to do it the right way. I'm using it in a positive way and when I come out, I can't wait to start my new life and be even stronger than I am now." Hilton will spend her time at Lynwood separated from most of the other inmates in a special block reserved for "celebrities, public officials, police officers, and other high-profile inmates". When she's not blowing forlornly on a harmonica, she'll be allowed "at least an hour out of her cell each day to shower, watch TV, take part in outdoor recreation, or use the phone". ® 24 comments posted — Comment period finished Going down eh...Posted: 10:06 4th June 2007 Good NewsPosted: 10:26 4th June 2007 Perez HiltonPosted: 10:28 4th June 2007 Props to LesterPosted: 10:41 4th June 2007 "Goes down for 28 days"?Posted: 11:01 4th June 2007
