Paris checked into the Century
Regional Detention Facility in
suburban Los Angeles late
Sunday to begin serving three
weeks for violating probation
in an alcohol-related reckless
driving case.
18-year-old Seriana Hartmann,
a Hilton lookalike, bizarrely
offered to 'stand in' for
Paris for the duration of her
time behind bars.
Seriana, from Switzerland,
even enrolled in an English
course to be a more realistic
jail stunt double should Paris
have taken her up on the
selfless offer.
Paris is doing 'very well
under the circumstances' after
spending her first night in
jail. The 13-year-old jail, a
two-story concrete building
next to train tracks and
beneath a bustling freeway,
has been an all-female
facility since March 2006.
It's located in an industrial
area about 12 miles southeast
of downtown Los Angeles.
Hilton's cell has two bunks, a
table, a sink, a toilet and a
small window.
Paris surrendered at the Men's
Central Jail in downtown Los
Angeles after a surprise
appearance at the MTV Movie
Awards. Sarah Silverman the
host at the awards took a few
cheap shots at Paris. During
the 'going to jail' applause,
MTV cut to a reaction shot of
Hilton, who was in the
audience and looked
understandably hurt. 'Maybe it
will make people less mean to
me,' Hilton told Barbara
Walters of her trip to prison.
After the show Paris was
escorted to the facility in
Lynwood, where she was booked,
fingerprinted, photographed,
medically screened and issued
an orange top and pants,
Whitmore said.
Her booking photo showed the
heiress wearing what appeared
to be a V-neck shirt, eye
makeup and lip gloss that
highlighted a slight smile.
Her long blond hair was draped
over one shoulder.
After checking in, Hilton was
given her first jail meal of
cereal, bread and juice.
The sheriff's department
online booking site shows a
projected release date of June
26. Singleton said she and
other inmates were asleep when
Hilton checked in. Around 7
am, they learned Hilton was
there when they watched the
news. To most of them, it was
no big deal.

Her lawyer Richard Hutton said
his client was coping well
after entering Los Angeles
County Jail to begin her 23
day sentence under the cover
of darkness on Sunday night to
avoid a 'media circus'. Things
aren't so bad for Paris
though. She's being kept in an
'administrative segregation'
cell because of her high
profile, and still gets out an
hour a day, 'to be in the
module, take a shower and talk
on the phone.' Dr. Charles
Sophy, who has been treating
Hilton for eight months, paid
a two-hour visit to the jail
on Tuesday with the star's
lawyer Richard Hutton.
According to reports, she has
been sobbing in her cell.

A high-school dropout, Paris
was first noticed as a model
represented by property tycoon
Donald Trump's agency, then
rapidly acquired a reputation
as a party girl alongside
sister Nicky. It was the
release of an Internet home
sex video featuring her and
then boyfriend Rick Salomon
which made her permanent
tabloid material. Hilton
starred with Nicole Richie in
the reality television show
'The Simple Life'.
Last year, she released a
music album called 'Paris,'
which peaked at number six on
the Billboard 200 chart for a
week and then dropped out of
sight. In her private life,
she has been engaged to male
model Jason Shaw and Greek
shipping heir Paris Latsis,
but both relationships ended
in break-ups. She also dated
Stavros Niarchos, the scion of
another Greek shipping family
