An official investigation has been launched into whether the L.A. County Sheriff's Department gave favorable treatment to media figure Paris Hilton while she was jailed at Century Regional Detention Center in Lynwood. According to the department union, deputies assigned to Lynwood have come forward telling of various perks Paris received, including the following:
- Free access to a cell phone, while the other inmates had to wait in line to use pay-phones.
- Daily visits by top brass at Lynwood, and her mail hand-delivered by a captain instead of one of the trusties.
- A new clean jail uniform, not a recycled one like the other inmates were issued.
Two unnamed Sheriff's Department officials have confirmed the above. Steve Whitmore, a spokesperson for Sheriff Lee Baca, shot down these allegations however, saying the department's own information differs from the accounts given to internal affairs by the Lynwood deputies. Whitmore went on to accuse judge Michael Sauer of giving Paris an unduly severe sentence, saying:
[if there was any unfair treatment] it came from the court's sentence, which was harsher than for other defendants facing similar charges.
The head of the L.A. County Sheriff's Association, Steve Remige, has hit back at Baca over the Hilton incident and an earlier one in which the sheriff allegedly ordered the suppression of unpleasant details of Mel Gibson's arrest, saying:
[the handling of celebrity cases shows] a pattern that Baca is beholden to the Hollywood set, and a form of patronage.

She deserves such treatment as much as anyone. Name another person with a lower talent-to-fame ratio. Cher comes close, and maybe one of the Simpson sisters, I guess.
Who's trying to make at a political career out of this case already? Jeesus Chris give it a rest already. This is last month's soiled laundry, and someone is playing 'investigative detective' about whether she got to wear a new prison uniform?, or whether she got her corespondence hand delivered instead of by mail or something equally pointless at this time?
This whole f***ing mess got started because the DA was trying to make a career out of this case, and all this does is continue to keep her in the news. These people need to get over it, and let it go. I can't stand Hilton but she served her time to they need to put a stake in it. They are ALL morons in my view.
In that last pic she looks like my two year od nephew right before he yells "Oh no! The poopie is coming!!!" She probably said something to the same effect.
Now that she's been in jail she can relate to the peeps.
It won't really have effect, I think this way.
