Claims that
Paris Hilton had special treatment in jail are to be examined by the Los Angeles Sheriff's Department. BBC reports that the investigation will look into claims by sheriff's deputies that the heiress was given a mobile phone while other inmates had to queue for pay phones. It will also determine whether Paris was given a new jail uniform instead of a recycled one.
Their claims differ from the department's information, said Steve Whitmore, the spokesman for the LA Sheriff's department. "We're going to investigate it and get to the bottom of it and find out exactly what happened," he said. The department was previously accused of giving Hilton special treatment when it released her for unspecified medical reasons after just three days in jail. She was later ordered to return to jail by a court.
