LOS ANGELES, California (CNN) -- Paris Hilton was let out of jail Thursday morning, days after she began serving what was to have been a 45-day sentence for violating probation, a spokesman for the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department said.
Hilton must wear a monitoring bracelet and remain at her home for another 40 days, said sheriff's department spokesman Steve Whitmore.
Medical considerations "played a part" in the decision to offer Hilton home confinement for the remainder of her sentence, Whitmore said. (Watch Whitmore detail Hilton's deal )
He said privacy rules prohibited him from giving details about the medical issues, but celebrity Web site TMZ.com earlier quoted sources saying Hilton was refusing to eat much of the jail food served her.
Whitmore said that after "extensive consultation with medical personnel" it was decided to offer Hilton "reassignment" to home confinement, which she and her attorneys accepted. (Watch Hilton enter jail )
Part of the deal was that her original sentence of 45 days, which had been reduced to 23 days if she showed good behavior behind bars, would be restored to the full length. Although she reported to the jail just before midnight Sunday and departed in the early hours of Thursday, she was given credit for five days, he said. (Blog: Is this a miscarriage of justice?)
Whitmore said the decision to send Hilton home was made by a panel of officials in the sheriff's department, although the judge who sentenced her was advised of the move.
"I want to thank the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department and staff of the Century Regional Detention Center for treating me fairly and professionally," said Hilton in a statement from her attorney, Richard A. Hutton. "I am going to serve the remaining 40 days of my sentence. I have learned a great deal from this ordeal and hope that others have learned from my mistakes."
Hilton was arrested on charges of drunken driving in September.
In January, she pleaded no contest to a charge of alcohol-related reckless driving. She was sentenced to three years' probation and had her license suspended.
In February, she was caught driving on a suspended license, which later was ruled a probation violation.
Hilton entered jail Sunday after attending the MTV Movie Awards, where she answered questions from the press and was the subject of host Sarah Silverman's jokes.

I wish I was a celebrity, so I could do whatever I wanted and have no penalties.

I wish that she had a monitoring bracelet that would blow her up if she left home! (saw that in a movie once - fits perfectly here).
She has learned nothing, except again that money talks.
What a miserable role model. Disgusting!

Hi,

If you do the crime, you should do the time.

Why is it the law only for a few, but it doesn't include the "rich and famous" who are above the law?

Society sends a mixed message to respect laws, when we only expect some to follow and obey.

As Thermos pointed out she is doing the time......... Richness is relative to the whole world I think the statistic is 10% have 90% of the world's wealth 90% have 10%? The bigger picture is that most of us on this forum have alot to be thankful for........we are probably in the top 10%....... many don't have food let alone a computer to look for and shout about specks in other peoples eyes....

Quite right though.....the law should apply to everyone....to him who has much....much is expected.....or something like that.
