Hilton to Jail

Hilton Calls Barbara Walters From Jail -- 'God Has Released Me'

On Sunday at 3 p.m., Paris Hilton phoned me collect from jail. Prisoners must call collect.

"How are you different?" I asked.

"I'm not the same person I was," she said. "I used to act dumb. It was an act. I am 26 years old, and that act is no longer cute. It is not who I am, nor do I want to be that person for the young girls who looked up to me. I know now that I can make a difference, that I have the power to do that. I have been thinking that I want to do different things when I am out of here. I have become much more spiritual. God has given me this new chance."

I asked what kinds of things she might want to do.

She said she would like to help in the fields of breast cancer — her grandmother had breast cancer — or multiple sclerosis. Her father's mother suffers from that disease.

She thought she might get toy companies to build a kind of Paris Hilton playhouse, where sick children might come, and the toy companies could donate toys.

She has had a person whom she described as a spiritual adviser who said, "My spirit or soul did not like the way I was being seen and that is why I was sent to jail."

"God," she said, "has released me."

go back to your cell, Paris
 
Let me just clarify some things ive read in this thread:

Jail is not Prison.

Jail is a place for short-term holding.

Jail is where you await your sentencing.

Prison is where you serve your sentence.

90% people in jail are awaiting trial, is probably not far off.
 
Someone really needs to just take one for the team and mow the biatch down with a car already. She's just a drain on society and needs to just go away...permanently.

Hmm how come Paris wasn't in jail while she was awaiting trial? Or is that what the bail money is for? You can pay to not go to jail? :confused:

Right. When you're arrested and put in jail awaiting trail, you can often post bail, an amount you pay to get out of jail until your trail. If you show up at your trial date, you get the money back; it's sort of a security deposit on yourself :).

Sometimes, a judge will decide that you aren't allowed to post bail (or s/he'll set the bail absurdly high), if s/he feels you're a flight risk, or if it's a serious crime like murder.
 
Oh, that clear up things a lot. Thanks! I never got the difference between jail and prison :eek:. I thought it was just 2 sayings for the same thing.

Wow...what a brilliant false dichotomy you've created there. There are millions of people, such as Paris Hilton, who have served their sentence in a jail.

The main difference between a jail and a prison is that (in the U.S. at least) jails are usually county or city facilities while prisons are state or federal facilities.
