Paris Hilton gets reduced prison sentence for good behaviour

Paris Hilton won't appeal the 45-day jail term she was sentenced to earlier this month for violating probation, according to court documents filed Thursday.

A lawyer for the 26-year-old socialite notified Los Angeles County Superior Court that she is abandoning her appeal, said court spokeswoman Katherine Roberts.

On Wednesday, authorities reduced Hilton's term and said she would be separated from the general prison population.

The hotel heiress is slated to spend about 23 days in a "special-needs housing unit" at the Century Regional Detention Center in suburban Lynwood, Calif., Los Angeles County sheriff's spokesman Steve Whitmore said.

Her sentence was shortened after jail officials gave her credit for good behaviour, Whitmore said.

Officials considered several factors in calculating the credit, including that she appeared for her latest court date, he said.

Hilton will stay in a unit that contains 12 two-person cells reserved for police officers, public officials, celebrities and other high-profile prisoners, he said.

Like everyone else in the 2,200-convict facility, Hilton will be given at least an hour outside her cell each day to shower, watch television, participate in outdoor recreation or talk on the telephone, he said.

Hiltonwas sentenced to jail this month for violating the terms of her probation in an alcohol-related reckless driving case. A judge ordered her to report to jail by June 5.

A call to her lawyer Richard Hutton was not immediately returned. Her publicist, Elliot Mintz, declined comment.
