Or so says the heiress’ lawyer Richard A. Hutton, who also revealed that Paris was coping well with an "unjust, unfair" sentence when he spoke to reporters outside the facility where she is serving time.
"Her attitude is: I'm going to come in here, I'm going to do my time, get it over with, and I'm going to show the world who I really am. She's using this time to reflect on her life, to see what she can do to make the world better," People magazine quoted him, as saying.
He also revealed that Paris has been winning over the staff at the facility, for far from her spoiled rich kid persona, they have found her to be “gracious, and polite”.
"She's doing very well under the circumstances. The staff here have reported that she has been gracious, polite, and thankful for helping her," Hutton said.
The attorney also told the reporters that because of Paris’ fame, she was being kept away from the other inmates at the facility, and that she will be spending 23 hours a day in solitary confinement in a 12x8 feet cell with a bunk bed, a toilet and wash basin.
"Because of who she is, they had no choice – and believe me, we are more interested in her safety more than anything else – but they had no choice but to place her in administrative segregation," he said.
"The one hour of the day she's out, she is allowed to ... take a shower or talk on the phone. But she's in isolation for 23 of the 24 hours of the day," he added.
"And ask yourself, for what? For driving on a suspended license as a probation violation. This is unjust, unfair, and she really is, unfortunately, a victim of a system that we pride so much on being fair. But for Paris Hilton it is not. Finally, my client's reaction to this has been fantastic. I'm very, very proud of her," Hutton said.
