    BEIJING, June 14 (Xinhuanet) -- Paris Hilton will have to serve more time in jail than most  inmates sent to L.A. County Jail for similar offenses, according to media reports Wednesday.

    A Los Angeles Times analysis of jail records analyzed 2 million jail releases and found 1,500 cases since July 2002 that - like Hilton's - involved defendants who had been arrested for drunk driving and later sentenced to jail after a probation violation or driving without a license.

    Since Hilton had left jail for good after four days, her stint behind bars would have been similar to those served by 60 percent of those inmates.

    But after a judge sent her back to jail Friday, Hilton's attorney announced that she would serve the full 23 days. That means that Hilton will end up serving more time than 80 percent of other people in similar situations.

    "Twenty-three days would be considerably more than the average person given her sentence would actually serve," said Stan Goldman, professor of criminal law and procedure at Loyola Law School. "The jails are so overcrowded that even though overcrowding is not the reason for her release, it colors every release decision from the jails system."

    The 26-year-old Hilton was sentenced to 45 days in jail after a judge found that she violated her probation on alcohol-related reckless-driving charges by repeatedly driving on a suspended license. Under state sentencing guidelines, she was expected to serve only 23 days, with the Sheriff's Department listing her release date as June 26.

    Hilton's blood-alcohol measured .08 percent, the state's threshold for drunken driving. She pleaded guilty to a lesser charge of alcohol-related reckless driving, and her license was suspended.

   Hilton's parents visit, raise questions

    BEIJING, Jun 13 (Xinhuanet) -- The parents of Paris Hilton visited their daughter Tuesday, shortly after the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors ordered Sheriff Lee Baca to respond by next week to allegations of favoritism for reassigning Hilton.

    Hilton's parents breezed past people standing in line for hours and raised more questions of whether the hotel heiress was receiving special treatment. After her visit, Kathy Hilton said her daughter wants "just to do her time and get on." She added her daughter has not had much sleep.

    Paris Hilton determined to stop acting "dumb"

    BEIJING, June 12 (Xinhuanet) -- Paris Hilton has decided that she will no longer "act dumb."

    The remark was made in a telephone call Sunday with Barbara Walters, in which Hilton described her brief spell behind bars last week -- after which she was released and then sent back to jail by an outraged judge.
