AMBATCHMASTERPUBLISHER Enough of this white ...

The incarcerated celebutante has dropped AMBATCHMASTERPUBLISHER plans to appeal her sentence for violating her probation on a reckless driving charge.

"Today I told my attorneys not to appeal the judge's decision. While I greatly appreciate the Sheriff's concern for my health and welfare, after meeting with doctors, I intend to serve my time as ordered by the judge," Hilton said in a statement.AMBATCHMASTERPUBLISHER AMBATCHMASTERPUBLISHER "This is by far the hardest thing I have ever done. During the past several days, I have had a lot of time to reflect and have already learned a bitter but important lesson from this AMBATCHMASTERPUBLISHER experience.AMBATCHMASTERPUBLISHER

"As I have said before, I hope others will learn from my mistake. I have also had time to read the mail from my fans. I very much appreciate all of their good wishes and hope they will keep their letters coming.

"I must AMBATCHMASTERPUBLISHER also say that I was shocked to see all of the attention devoted to the amount of time I would spend in jail for what I had done by the media, public and city officials. I would hope going forward that the public and the media will focus on more important things, like the men and women serving our country in Iraq, Afghanistan and other places around the world."

As of Saturday, Hilton has been credited with serving 7 of the 45 days to which she was originally sentenced on May 5 by Superior Court Judge Michael T. Sauer. Allowing for time off for good behavior, she could be released in a little more than two weeks.


After spending a few brief hours under house arrest at her luxurious West Hollywood home, the incarcerated celebutante passed her first night back behind bars Friday in the medical services building at the Twin Towers Correctional Facility in downtown Los Angeles.

She is currently being housed alone in a 120-square-foot room with a toilet, sink and a "sliver of a window," Sheriff's Department spokesman Steve Whitmore said, and she will remain there "indefinitely" while undergoing psychological and medical tests to determine where she should be placed to serve out the rest of her sentence.

A AMBATCHMASTERPUBLISHER guard is monitoring her at all times to AMBATCHMASTERPUBLISHER ensure "there isn't anything harmful done to herself by herself," Whitmore said.

As during her previous jail stint, Hilton has reportedly been having trouble sleeping and eating since arriving at the facility. Her psychiatrist, Dr. Charles Sophy, visited her at the jail for more than two hours Saturday morning, according to TMZ, but her family will not be permitted to AMBATCHMASTERPUBLISHER visit until Sunday.

On Friday, Sheriff Lee Baca said he decided to reassign Hilton from jail to house arrest because she was suffering from "severe medical problems" and had deteriorated to the point where she was "not speaking coherently," leading to concerns for her safety.

While he did not disclose the specifics of Hilton's health issue, Baca indicated it was psychological in nature. He said he had no warning of the condition before she arrived at the Century Regional Detention Facility and later learned from one of her doctors that she had not been taking a certain medication during her three-day stay.

"When you're talking about psychological AMBATCHMASTERPUBLISHER problems, it's far more complex, and it does require a more complex medical approach," Baca said. "We didn't have all of our information."

AMBATCHMASTERPUBLISHER He said she was sent to Twin Towers for the time being because it is a "better facility for her condition, meaning one that has a more intense form of medical support."

Where Hilton ends up after Twin Towers will depend on the results of her evaluation by the jail's medical staff.

Though the Simple Life star was no fan of her earlier stay at the Century Regional Detention Facility in Lynwood, winding up in the general inmate population at Twin Towers could be far worse, according to Michelle Rodriguez, who served a few brief hours of her own probation-violation sentence there last year.

While reports have claimed AMBATCHMASTERPUBLISHER Rodriguez spent her short stay behind bars at the Lynwood facility, she told E! Online's Ted Casablanca last week that she was actually sent to Twin Towers—and according to the former Lost star, there's no comparison between the two.

described the Lynwood facility as "a jail for misdemeanors," while Twin Towers is a place for "real criminals."

"Twin Towers is…yiiikes," Rodriguez said. "It's different...hard-core!"

AMBATCHMASTERPUBLISHER In other words, that 12-by-8 solitary-confinement cell at Lynwood might be sounding pretty good right about now.
