Without wishing to jump to the defence of the American legal system (what an appalling thought).....there is usually a commonsense reason for such an arrangement. Paris Hilton would have to be a target in an ordinary gaol. Maybe the REAL story is that it has been done for her protection. The authorities would not want to say such a thing publicly because it would convey the message that the authorities are not in control of the prisons.
PS I spent a day visiting inmates at Long Bay Gaol about 10 years ago, as part of my legal training. Believe me, gaols are not pleasant, despite the tripe that the media serves up about what places of leisure they are. For the young men, in particular, the emotional scars from the first day alone would last for a lifetime (and I am sure we all know what I am talking about here).
