Paris Hilton will not appeal her 45-day jail sentence. She is currently serving her time in the medical ward of the Twin Towers facility in downtown Los Angeles.
"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.
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 experience.
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 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."
TMZ is reporting that Hilton suffers from Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) and claustrophobia. It was these apparent medical issues that prompted Sheriff Lee Baca to reassign Paris Hilton to house arrest. The Sheriff is still under fire for his actions and an investigation is pending.
The average cost per day to house a regular inmate in a Los Angeles County jail is $99.64. The cost per day to house Paris Hilton in the medical facility is $1,109.78, which includes medical treatment and a full medical staff to tend to her needs. The Twin Towers is more expensive than a night at a Hilton hotel. If Hilton had stayed on house arrest it would cost nothing.
