Update: Hilton 'doing well' in LA prison
BBC News: The hotel heiress
Paris Hilton has begun her jail sentence for violating probation on a drink-driving conviction. The 26-year-old turned herself in to authorities at Los Angeles County Jail on Sunday, her lawyer confirmed. She appeared at the MTV Movie Awards (the photo) hours earlier, where she told reporters, "I'm definitely scared, but I'm ready to face my sentence." The socialite will serve only half of her sentence - about 23 days - after being given credit for good behaviour. She will be separated from the main prison population in a block that contains 12 cells, each holding two people. It is reserved for celebrities, public officials, police officers and other high-profile inmates. The unit is part of the Century Regional Detention Centre in Lynwood, California, which holds more than 2,000 prisoners.
