"She’s never been alone so this is, as she calls it, a real time out," her mother said of Sunday’s visit, where the socialite talked to her parents from behind a glass partition.

Rick Hilton also denied rumours that his father donated money to Los Angeles Sheriff Lee Baca to garner favours for his daughter.

He said the donation was made one and a half years ago, and it was just a thousand dollars.

"A lot of business people in Los Angeles I’m sure also donate to the sheriff," he said.

Paris is expected to be released on June 25, when she will have served about 23 days of a 45-day sentence.

"She sees the light at the end of the tunnel," her father added.


Paris leaves prison medical ward - June 14 2007
Paris Hilton has been transferred out of the medical ward at a Los Angeles County jail and returned to the all-women’s facility where she began her sentence for a probation violation more than a week ago, a sheriff’s official said today.

The heiress and reality TV star was taken to the Century Regional Detention Centre at about 11pm local time yesterday, Lt Daryl Meeks told the Associated Press.

He would not elaborate on where she was housed at the facility in Lynwood. When she began her sentence there on June 3, she was confined to a cell in a special unit away from other prisoners.

Paris’s case caused a firestorm when she was released from Lynwood last week by sheriff’s officials to serve the remainder of her 45-day sentence for violating probation in an alcohol-related reckless driving case in home confinement.

Sheriff Lee Baca said the 26-year-old was released because of an undisclosed medical condition. Critics said the celebrity was getting special treatment.

An outraged judge sent her back to jail on Friday.


Paris ’cold and tired’ in jail - June 14 2007
Jailed heiress Paris Hilton has seen her parents for the first time while behind bars, according to US reports.

The 26-year-old told Rick and Kathy Hilton that she has suffered cold and sleeplessness in jail but is starting to get her appetite back, her mother told showbiz website People.com.

After Tuesday’s 30-minute visit, Kathy Hilton said: "It’s tough in there. It’s cold."

She added: "It’s just good to see her."

It was the first time the heiress’s parents have seen her in jail.

Mrs Hilton told People.com: "She was very happy. She wants to just do her time and get on with it.

"She really hasn’t had much sleep."

Paris is behind bars at the Twin Towers Correctional Facility in LA, where she is serving time for violating her probation in an alcohol-related reckless driving case.

The hotel heiress was briefly released with an electronic ankle tag last Thursday for an undisclosed medical condition, but a judge sent her back to jail one day later.
