Paris Hilton gets educated - on prison life

With The Governator having made it clear that her appeal does not compute, Paris Hilton is getting educated, some might say finally, but only on life in prison! Her teacher is none other than former bank robber Patty Hearst.

Talking about Ms Hilton's reported appeal, California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger reportedly told AP, "I've never got any request. But I have many more important things to think about."

Seemingly running out of options, Paris Hilton has turned to a former prison inmate Patty Hearst for help.

In addition to her education on prison life, or perhaps as a part of it, Paris is also physically toughening up by working out twice a day.

Paris' educator Patty, 53, is the granddaughter of publishing magnate William Randolph Hears.

She was kidnapped on February 4, 1974 by an urban guerrilla group called the Symbionese Liberation Army (SLA), that initially demanded release of a jailed SLA member in exchange for Patty. When the demand wad declined it asked Patty's father to distribute food to the poor in California!

Eventually, Patty joined the group and participated in a bank robbery. She was later arrested and convicted on March 20, 1976.

Her seven-year prison term was commuted by President Jimmy Carter, and Hearst was released from prison on February 1, 1979, having served only twenty-two months.
