Because of some serious overcrowding in Los Angeles, there are concerns that Hilton may not serve all of the 45 days that she has been sentenced to – and she may be shipped to Arizona for her entire sentence.

The television station claims that Arpaio says he's spoken to the chief of jails in Los Angeles offering to house Hilton at Tent City. Arpaio loves publicity and this would be a move he would push for, though it's still unclear if Paris would be able to do he time in Arizona. Inmates at tent city wear old time prison garb, including stripes. They sometimes work on chain gangs picking up trash on the side of the road in sweltering heat.

And according to the Maricopa County Sheriff's department, the Los Angeles County Sheriff is considering the proposal. Good luck Paris.
