Paris Hilton's Prison Purchases

Even with the daily news of the wars in Iraq and Afgahnistan, the wild fires raging out of control, the heavy rains and floods, and yesterdays news of the terrorist plots in London, somehow we still managed to get the news this week that Paris Hilton got out of jail.  Unfortunately, most other news stories took a back seat to her release from jail this week.  In case you hadn't heard, as with most other convicts, she found religion in jail, and will probably be writing a book soon, giving us all of the sordid details of her 23 days in jail.  Personally, I'd like to hear her thoughts on the little steel toilets.  But I digress.  On the MSN home page yesterday, they mentioned an interesting fact about her jail time that somehow the media had overlooked:  the snacks and other items  that she was able to purchase while in jail.  It was an intersting array, but the article left some questions: mainly, how did she pay for the food?  I'm sure she wasn't able to keep any cash with her in jail.  Did they give her a bill for the food that she had to pay when she was released, or will she get a bill in the mail for it?  Incidentally, the total for the snacks and etc. she bought was $145.32.  Here's a list of Paris Hilton's Prison Purchases:

1. chicken noodle soup
2. toffee peanuts
3. fruit punch mix
4. chicken broth
5. banana nut muffins
6. a jar of Vaseline
7. mustard
8. soy sauce

11. granola bars
12. Gardetto snack mix
13. blueberry muffins
14. pretzels

16. cotton swabs
17. skin cream
18. brown eyebrow pencil
19. emery board
20. drawing tablet (qty 3)
