BEIJING, June 5 (Xinhuanet) -- After spending her first night in jail, Paris Hilton used her spare time to reflect on her life and see what she can do to make the world better, her lawyer said Monday.

    The 26-year-old hotel heiress checked into the Century Regional Detention Facility in suburban Los Angeles just after 11:30 p.m. (local time) Sunday to serve 23 days for violating probation in an alcohol-related reckless driving case.

    "She's using this time to reflect on her life, to see what she can do to make the world better and hopefully, in my opinion, to change the attitudes that exist about her among many people," attorney Richard A. Hutton told reporters after visiting Hilton.

    Hilton was sentenced to 45 days in jail after a judge found last month that she violated her probation on alcohol-related reckless-driving charges by repeatedly driving on a suspended license.

    Officials did not explain why it was decided that Hilton would be housed alone. A woman had earlier reportedly been pre-screened to share a cell with Hilton.
