BEIJING,
June 28(Xinhuanet) -- After leaving the jail in which Paris Hilton stayed for
three weeks, the Hilton Hotel's heiress vowed she'd "never do wrong,"
according to media reports Thursday.
Hilton was jailed for violating probation in a
drunken-driving case.
"I'm a good person. I'm a compassionate person. I
have a big heart. I'm sincere, and they'll see," Hilton told media in her first
comments since being released on Tuesday from a Los Angeles jail.
Hilton said that she spent time in jail reading the
Bible and praying to God for strength.
"There was a nun who works at the jail for all the
ladies, and she would come every day and we would pray," she said.
"All of the inmates were very supportive. There were
girls next to me," she said. "We could talk through the vents and they were just
really sweet."
During her first week in jail, Hilton called
television journalist Barbara Walters and pledged to change her party-going ways
and give new meaning to her life by pursuing charity work, saying God had given
her a new chance.
Hilton also spoke about why she was briefly released
to home detention after just three days in jail, which was a move then swiftly
overruled by a judge after a public uproar over whether she was given special
treatment.
"I was basically in the foetal position, basically in
hysterics ... and having severe anxiety and panic attacks," she said.
On Tuesday, Los Angeles County Sheriff Lee Baca
explained to the county Board of Supervisors why he had placed Hilton under
house detention. He said Hilton had been in danger of harming herself.
