TMZ has learned that Paris Hilton has not only had her sentence cut short, she is already out of jail!
Unimpeachable sources tell TMZ the deal was sealed yesterday, and that Hilton made her exit early early this morning.
She was originally sentenced to 45 days in jail, but that was reduced to 23. She served a total of five days -- the normal stay for a violation of this kind. Her five days began Sunday night and concluded early Thursday morning.
The L.A. County Sheriff's Department will hold a news conference in an hour to discuss what went down.
UPDATE 10:16: LA County Sheriff's spokesman Steve Whitmore says that Paris Hilton has been fitted for an ankle bracelet and put under house arrest for the next 40 days, after authorities decided to release Paris from jail due to medical reasons. She got out of jail just after 2:00 AM.
Whitmore says he cannot release details about Paris' "medical issue" due to confidentiality, but said that medical officials "constantly examined" her while she was in jail.
Paris will be under house confinement in her West Hollywood home for 40 days. After the 40 days are up, Whitmore says she will have "fulfilled her debt to society."
Whitmore made it clear that Paris was not released early -- she was reassigned. She is technically still in custody.

What a JOKE you're justice systems is! Money talks & a skanky racist walks!
Once again. Money is more important than lives!!!!! There is no juctice.. All that says is Paris keep on drinking and driving even if you do get caught we'll let you go!!!! Even better please kill someone while you're driving drunk.. Money is more important!!! Ya'll SUCK!!!
I got fifty bucks shes back in jail within the next five years.
Hey JJ, Lawyers never call themselves Lawyers. It's ATTORNEY, get it right for your next lie okay?
I think that is only fair. come on people she didn't kill anyone. Her original sentence was for careless driving, not dui, she just needs to learn from this and move foward. As for all you that hate Paris, you are also the People that make her so popular. you are the people that buy the magazines and products when you see her name on them so stop bashing her
Which restaurant will pick up the tab for her "Celebration" tonight? How does checking in the jail at 11:15pm give her credit for serving time that day. I'm glad she didn't receive any "special treatment".
WTF??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
The only thing she learned is what Paris wants, Paris gets. She'll be out this week end partying as she always does. What about all the other inmates, have they been released because they don't like the conditions, or they are scared. I affraid the legal system has done more harm than good here.
Celebrity justice--what a joke! This stupid episode only underscores her view that she is 'special', above the law. Different rules apply for the Hiltons.
