Paris Hilton’s Stay In Jail To Be Probed

The Los Angeles Times reports that the LA County Sheriff’s Department on Thursday launched an internal investigation into whether Paris Hilton got special perks while at the Century Regional Detention Center in Lynwood. The department union, which has long clashed with Sheriff Lee Baca, said deputies have come forward to complain that Hilton had free access to a cordless phone while other prisoners must wait in line to use pay phones during set hours. The heiress also received daily visits from a captain who hand-delivered her mail, in contrast to others who get letters brought to them by inmate trusties. And officials were allegedly ordered to give her a new jail uniform while many inmates use recycled ones.
