Hilton's jail term 'could be cut in half'

Paris Hilton may spend far less than the 45 days she has been sentenced to serve in jail for violating probation, authorities said.

Hilton could spend three weeks or less behind bars because of a state requirement that grants inmates time off for good behaviour and because of overcrowding in the system that has led to freeing some inmates before they complete their full terms, Los Angeles County sheriff’s spokesman Steve Whitmore said.
