New Digs for Paris -- Not a Dingbat Cave

Posted Jun 14th 2007 12:07PM by TMZ Staff

She hasn't returned to the lap of luxury just yet, but with her transfer out of Twin Towers Correctional Facility last night, Paris Hilton's life just got a little less nuts.

Instead of sharing a building with close to 200 dingbats in a place nicknamed "The Dings," Hilton will enjoy the comforts of a private room in the medical clinic of Lynwood's Century Regional Detention Facility -- a wing that only holds 15 beds.

Hilton's new 12' x 8' pad is an upgrade from the mad scene over at Twin Towers, which has 196 beds on three floors -- many of which are occupied by crazy inmates.

According to Sheriff's spokesperson Steve Whitmore, the Lynwood clinic is commonly referred to as a "step-down unit -- where female inmates are often transferred after their medical conditions have begun to stabilize."

Paris is expected to remain in the medical ward until the medical staff decide she's stable, allowing her to be moved back to her old cell in the VIP section of the jail -- the same cell where she was reportedly melting down and on the verge of a nervous breakdown.

46. This is so stupid! What if she had been convicted of something more serious, like actually killing somebody while driving drunk and stupid? Would she still be afforded the same special treatment.? I have no sympathy for her.

47. Paris is not a "young girl" nor a college girl. She's a woman of 26 years old who did not manage to graduate from high school, let alone attend college or any higher education. She's made her name on her family fortune and societal position and "launched" herself into media society by announcing that she was an heiress to be noticed and by participating in a taped sexual encounter with a fleeting boyfriend when she was younger.

This is what the media does. They tell the public who is famous, who is beautiful, that Angelina has gorgeous lips (elephant lips someone said), and we are supposed to agree just because the media said so.

The public needs to wake up to this media trick and learn to think for themselves.

48. They are just going to keep moving her around until she is out. she may be put into her regular cell a day or two before she is released just to say they did indeed treat her as anyone else lmao.

This entire drama is so blatantly preferred treatment and unfair to those shoved into tiny cells on top of each other perhaps ill and in need of care.

The best gripe her few fans can come up with is that Paris did 15 days more then anyone else would have. Their desperate argument is lost with all the special attention Paris has recieved sense being incarcerated.

49. 23 days, in which the United States came to a stop.

And it was not because someone in Albania stole the watch belonging to the president, so they had to replace it with an exact copy.

But now there is only 12 days to go, before you can move on to less important stuff like global warming or the war in Iraq. But honestly I dont think that that would be a good move for the rest of the world.

Perhaps it would be better for her, if they shipped her to a new jail every day just to increase the bill to the tax-payers and keep the news going. How many prison have she not been in?

50. Will the pampering and coddling of Paris Hilton never end?

Not until somebody shoots her.

51. You know instead of paying so much attention to her in jail being sick why doesnt the police pay attention to the inmates that are really sick and treat them with respect like they are treating Paris. Just because we all are not " Rich " that does not make us any different from the " Rich ".
So since she is so sick how is she going to make it to the big party that her dad is throwing her after she gets out. ? I bet you she does make it.

53. Who said that she is a princess of America? Uh?????? Shame on you!!!
Paris, She is just spoiled and acts stupid. It is so sad that life is not fair.

54. So she's doped up enough now to send her back to the special needs unit ! Just think everyone, unless she is taken off the drugs before she leaves, she will be driving the streets on legal, prescription drugs which can be just as dangerous as the illegal ones! Gee! How much sedation / tranqilization does it take for a princess (HA! HA!) to go from a palace to prison? Quite a bit, I'd think!

55. Paris,
I wish I could get this message to you. I've been praying for you since this all started. I'm sure a lot of Christian Grandmothers are doing the same. I guess you walked too close to the edge and fell. The Lord will pick you up and you will soar to your great potential. Love you,
A Grandma

56. Can't the sheriff tell the difference between a nervous breakdown and a temper tantrum?

57. Hm... it seems to be the trendy thing to say that Paris is receiving special treatment THE OTHER WAY AROUND, that she was punished too harshly for her crime, her bac was only .08, etc...

I'm not sure how it works in California, but in a lot of areas of the country, or atleast here on the east coast, if you get a DUI (no matter how low her bac you seem to think it was... if it's breaking the law, it's breaking the law) and you violate your probation 3 TIMES and then have the nerve to show up 20 minutes late to court, you're going to jail for a hell of a lot longer than 45 days.

that said, a lot of us are giving her a hard time, but I don't think we would handle jail much better than she is. or at least I know I couldn't. it was wrong to shuffle her around.

58. So how much is housing Paris in the newest medical wing going to cost taxpayers? Throw the skank into a regular jail cell, like anybody else. Enough of this blatant preferential treatment.

59. I personally have clautrophobia and truly feel sorry for anyone having to endure a confined space with that disorder; however, I don't drive drunk or on a suspended license.

Paris needs to be treated like any other inmate with the same problem ~~~~~ despite how much money or fame that person has.

If another inmate has the same disorder ............. is she in the medical facility or in a cell being told to suck it up?

I just want fairness.................... probably too much to ask for since money & fame seem to keep winning.

Learn from this Paris.

60. It takes about 3-5 days to detox. Thats what was happening to her. It was right to move her to medical facilities. However, what really ticks me is..why do we have to pay for that? Her parents got off cheap.."Promises" or one of those other fancy detox centers would have cost their poket book, not ours...If Paris wants to show remorse she should pay back to L.A. the hospital costs that got her sober. For how long though? Get her to a 12-step someone.......Open minded....
