A judge sentenced Paris Hilton to 45 days in county jail last month for violating her probation, putting the brakes on the hotel heiress's famous high life.

Hilton, must go to jail by June 5.

The judge, saying "there's no doubt she knew her license had been suspended," ruled that she was in violation of the terms of her probation in an alcohol-related reckless driving case.

"I'm very sorry, and from now on I'm going to pay complete attention to everything. I'm sorry, and I did not do it on purpose at all," she told the judge before he announced the sentence.

Some 15 photographers, reporters and television crews staked out positions at three entrances to the Century Regional Detention Facility in Lynwood. Authorities had also cordoned off a grassy area outside the jail for members of the media.

As of Saturday evening, however, the hotel heiress had yet to appear.

The prospect of Hilton's arrival was on the minds of some at the 2,200-bed facility reports AP.

"If it was me, I'd want to see her, because she's famous!" said 29-year-old Trishan Bell during a visit with her mother, who is serving an 8-year sentence for drug-related offenses.

Once she arrives, the "Simple Life" star will be housed in the jail's "special needs" unit.

Like other inmates in the special-needs area, Hilton will take her meals in her cell and will be allowed outside the 12-foot-by-8-foot space for at least an hour each day to shower, watch TV in the day room, participate in outdoor recreation or talk on the telephone.

Inmates are not allowed to bring cell phones into the jail.
