Apparently Paris could have done several things to avoid jail time, and yet she did none of them:
1) Paris was supposed to take a 12-hour alcohol education course as a result of her DUI (this was part of her January sentence). She hadn't even registered for the course as of the end of April.
2) Paris could have opted to do 40 hours of community service in exchange for having a year of her probation dropped. Paris opted against doing the community service.
I know, I know, Paris, it would have been really embarrassing to go to an alcohol education course or to do community service. Think of the field day the media would have had! Much much better to go to jail.
Apparently Kathy Hilton was a wreck at the proceedings, screaming at the prosecutor "I want your autograph!" (that doesn't even make sense) and claiming that this was a waste of taxpayer money.
If Paris fails to show up for her June 5 jail date, she will have to do 90 days instead.
