Paris Hilton: Celebrity News

Paris Hilton can breathe a sigh of relief, despite the fact that she will be spending time behind bars, jail chiefs have determined to tag the socialite with an alarm device to keep her secure from current inmates.

The hotel heiress will be in contact with the prison guards 24 hours through this piece of equipment.

'The Simple Life' celebrity will be kept in 'special needs' unit of the big house, which is reserved for high-profile prisoners.

for the meantime, Hilton's jail sentence has already been reduced to 23 days from originally 45 days due to excellent behaviour.

And whilst Hilton's mom Kathy, feels her daughter's jail punishment is 'horrendous', she hopes it will set an example for many children who follow the footsteps of the 26 year-old.

"Hopefully young people who look up to Paris will learn from this," the Sun quoted Kathy, as saying.

Hilton is planned to start her sentence on June 5 at the Century Regional Detention Center in Lynwood.
