Shocker: More allegations of privileged treatment of Paris Hilton in prison,

Published by Karl at 1:52 am under OTA, hollywierd, justice?

I confess.  The supreme arrogance and idiocy of Paris keeps me running stories about her long after she really deserves it.  But it just kills me what is coming out.

Now, Hilton and her worshipers leeches suck ups sycophants supporters as well as the Sheriff have contended she got more time the most of her prison peers.

Maybe on the surface that is true, though I bet many got more.  Maybe it is as Al Sharpton contends, they are just surprised a rich white girl had to do time.  But there is also a thing called judicial discretion.  Considering her disdain for the legal system and the court in general, and her refusal to act responsible about her crime make me unsurprised he imposed a slightly harsher sentence.

But how harsh was it?  We know Baca released her for unspecified medical reasons after 3 days. 

I’m not sure when being sick of jail was a medical condition.

But it now appears there was serious preference being given her after she was returned.

I already blogged one instance, the private visitations with her family, including her family being whisked to the front of the waiting line.

More Hilton Privilege: Parents visit and get VIP treatment, normal folk kicked out.

The parents of Paris Hilton didn’t have to wait long to visit their daughter Tuesday, raising more questions of whether the hotel heiress was receiving special treatment. The Hiltons breezed past some waiting in line for hours to see loved ones.

The visit angered some others who were waiting to see inmates. Shatani Alverson, 23, said she was hustled out of the visiting room at the Twin Towers Correctional Facility moments after her husband walked in because of the Hiltons. She was told to come back after lunch.

Alvina Floyd waited more than four hours to visit her fiance. It normally takes two, and Floyd, 20, blamed the Hiltons for the delay.

“I have to be at work later,” she said. “I can’t wait here all day.”

Steve Whitmore, a sheriff’s spokesman, deflected criticism about the Hiltons’ visit. He said it was routine for high-profile inmates to receive visitors during lunch, a time when the visiting room is normally cleared out and closed.

Now reports are coming out about more privilege.

Alleged Paris Hilton perks in jail probed

Los Angeles County jail officials vowed to treat Paris Hilton like any other inmate.

But the Sheriff’s Department on Thursday launched an internal investigation into whether the hotel heiress got special perks while at the Century Regional Detention Center in Lynwood.

The department union, which has repeatedly clashed with Sheriff Lee Baca, said deputies have come forward to complain that Hilton had free access to a cellphone while other prisoners must wait in line to use pay phones during set hours.

Hilton also received daily visits from top brass at the Lynwood facility — including a captain who hand-delivered her mail — in contrast to others who get letters brought to them by inmate trusties, they said.

And officials were allegedly ordered to give her a new jail uniform while many inmates use recycled ones.

Two sheriff’s officials — who spoke on condition of anonymity — confirmed those details of her incarceration.

And there seems to be independent proof:

ABC’s Barbara Walters appeared to corroborate an allegation by the deputies union, saying she got a 2 a.m. call from the heiress as Hilton’s family was negotiating with TV networks for an exclusive post-jail interview.

OK, sort this.  For her to call Walters, she had to have a phone, and someone had to give her the number.  At 2am.

Nothing shady there, right?

Here is a shocker.  Rich people get better treatment.  Her family is rich.  Do the math.

Not a surprise at all, but disappointing none the less.

Somewhere inside me I had a tiny optimistic hope that the LA County Sheriffs would do the right thing.

Silly me.
