Despite promises from Sheriff Lee "Make Sure You Get My Good Side, Would You?" Baca that probation violator Paris Hilton would receive the same treatment as any other world-famous hotel heiress sequestered from the general prison population and granted the occasional home-imprisonment sleepover, his department's Office of Independent Review is looking into internal allegations that Hilton may have received "special perks" during her stay. Reports the LAT:

The department union, which has repeatedly clashed with Sheriff Lee Baca, said deputies have come forward to complain that Hilton had free access to a cellphone while other prisoners must wait in line to use pay phones during set hours.

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.

We're sure that the Office of Independent Review's investigation will be thorough, but fair, ultimately discovering that Hilton's cellphone use, first-class mail deliveries, and uniform-upgrade amenities were all properly obtained by redeeming points from the Century Regional Detention Facility Platinum Club card Baca gave the VIP upon her check-in to her solitary suite, a perk available to any high-profile guest who chooses the Century Regional Detention Facility over competing incarceration options.
