Paris might spend less than 45 days in prison due to violation of her probation, thanks to the authorities` policy and the situation in Californian prisons, LA authorities stated on Thursday.
Hilton, who was sentenced to 45 days in prison last week might spend three weeks behind bars or less due to the policy that prisoners are amnestied for good behaviour but also for the overcrowdedness of the penal system, said LA police station spokesperson Steve Whitmore.
-It is possible that it will be 21 days or 23 days- This is a complex formula that is determined by the state. It is possible that she will serve a shorter sentence- said Whitmore.
-As far as overcrowdedness goes, “our prison is falling apart at the seams” and some prisoners were released after serving only 10 percent of the sentence- Whitmore said.
Last year, actress Michelle Rodriguez was sentenced to 60 days in prison due to violation of probation after she was arrested in Hawaii for driving under the influence of alcohol but she was released after only several hours because of prison overcrowdedness.
The period of Paris Hilton`s sentence will be determined when Paris is implemented into the penal system, Whitmore said, adding that she will not be cut slack just because she is a celebrity-.
She will be treated as any other prisoner of low-security risk, said Whitmore.
Paris Hilton was arrested in Hollywood in September last year for wild driving under the influence of alcohol, and was sentenced to three years of probation, LAS court punished the 26-year-old starlet and hotel chain heiress with 45 days in prison because she was driving in February even though her driving license had been suspended. She has to appear in prison on June 5.
