Paris Hilton, who was released from California's Century Regional Detention Center in Lynwood yesterday, has spoken to jail doctors and officials about setting up a safe house for newly released inmates.
Paris was quoted by E! News as saying: "I'm lucky enough that when I leave prison Ihave a home to go to and a family that loves me. A lot of girls in here don't have that option. They go back to the streets.
"I want to help build a transitional home so that when inmates leave here they have somewhere to go. These women just keep coming back because they have no home to go to."
Paris, 26, says her facility would offer former prisoners somewhere to stay while they look for jobs and try to find their families.
She explained: "It will be a place for them to go get food, clothes and get them up on their feet, especially the mothers. It's just a really bad cycle. If we stop it now, we can make our community a better place."
The Simple Life star revealed she was planning to cut ties with many of her wild friends.
She said: "I think there are a lot of bad people that I was around. I don't want to surround myself with those types any more."
The hotel heiress, who was serving a 45-day sentence for driving with a suspended licence, was freed early due to overcrowding.
She also had the length of her incarceration reduced for good behaviour and in total served just half of her sentence.
Paris will earn a reported £150,000 for a magazine interview and a further £500,000 for her first TV interview revealing all about her time in prison.
US broadcasters CNN have confirmed Larry King will interview Paris in a one-hour special today.
