Pari$ Hilton Costs L.A. County a Bundle

ParisIt costs more than 10 times the normal amount to jail Paris Hilton.

TMZ contacted the Sheriff's Department to determine just how much money the County is spending on Hilton -- and it's way more than it costs to stay at a Hilton!

Sheriff's spokesperson Steve Whitmore tells TMZ the average cost per day for a female inmate is $99.64. Paris, well, ain't no bargain. It costs $1,109.78 to keep her locked up. The costs include medical treatment and staff associated with her needs.

By the way, if Hilton were under house arrest, it would cost taxpayers zilch. The inmate shells out the cost of doing time at home.

346. how can any level headed person support this injustice. you can't compare paris hilton to joe citizen because for 1 she is stalked by anyone and everyone. if it's not bright lights and desperately hungry photographers, its the police, yes even the police like to get attention by pulling over a celeb even better if they get to arrest them. so the chances for a celeb getting pulled over is far greater than you or i. i have watched many of these young girls doing what all of us did when we were turnig 21, and out of all ot them i have never seen paris act in any way that would be considered inappropriet. but the thing that is so wrong is that she is from a family that was a big part in the framing of our countrys development. their money is good enough for our gorvernment and helps our economy, employes a lot of or our citizens. their money should be good enough to keep their daughter out of jail for a informal probation violation. i have several friends that have done the exact violation only four or five times and none have served any time. if i was paris and her family i would sell my home in la and move out of this country taking their money and business to a country where they don't have to worry about their child being used by a system as a deterient. all of you that think this is funny, why don't you just take a look at the public record and see who is getting special treatment. she should not sit there and allow this to go on another day her life is in danger every minute she's there, anyone could harm her just for the attention. and i mean anyone even the staff. if that was my child, i can't imagine the terror i;d be going thru. please let her go home, and use this incident to investigate that judge cause he is not doing lady justice any justice.

Because he released Paris Hilton by ignoring the Judge ruling - our judical system.

He is playing favor to Rich and Famous.
If you have money, you can walk.

He also is the Sheriff who received the most gifts (not just from the Hilton's).

349. Most people would have been grateful to be in "High Power" which is what we called the 7th floor psych ward aka high powered infamous inmates. O.J., Manson, Ramirez, Bianchi, Angelo Bono types. There are hundreds of financially poor inmates who have severe PTSD, were abused as children in all areas, have nightmares and flashbacks. Many have ADD, ADHD and were unable to complete grade school or high school. This lead to being unable to get a job, turning to illegeal drugs to treat their depression. They are never given any special consideration except they are given their regular and any changes that they may need in medications after standing in line for hours to see the doctor and nurse in the infirmary.
The reason Ms Hilton isn't sleeping is that they probably started her back on her amphetamines for her hyperactivity and her medication for depression. Both of which you are advised not to drink alcohol if you are taking and since we know she drinks, why does she all of a sudden need these medications? The amphetamines keep her skinny depending on the dosage? Since they are saying "severe ADD/ADHD" does that mean they have her on a "high" dose of amphetamine? It would be interesting to see? TMZ where are you??? Find out for us. Was her Urine Drug Screen positive for other drugs? Cocaine, THC, Opiates??? Is this another Anna Nicole?? Tacycardia and Hypertension??
