Hilton also received daily visits from top brass at the Lynwood facility — including a captain who hand-delivered her mail — in contrast to others who get letters brought to them by inmate trusties, they said. And officials were allegedly ordered to give her a new jail uniform while many inmates use recycled ones. Two sheriff's officials — who spoke on condition of anonymity — confirmed those details of her incarceration.<< This is just plain wrong, especially the cell phone and new uniform!

If that's true...and I don't doubt it is...then she got the typical "star" treatment I guess. Which is not surprising. I'm sure the employees just wanted to get her out of there asap and keep her happy so they didn't get slammed in the press when she got out. No big deal really (well, it IS, but I can't say I blame the employees who stood to get treated badly by the media if they so much as slightly displeased the little whor...er, heiress.
