KEY POINTS:
LOS ANGELES: Paris Hilton will leave jail on Wednesday after almost 3 1/2 weeks behind bars.
The date, but not the exact hour, was announced yesterday. The 26-year-old Hilton, who was sentenced to 45 days in jail for violating her probation in a reckless driving case, gave herself in on June 3.
Authorities have said all along that with time off for good behaviour and because of crowded jails, Hilton was likely to serve only 23 days. Wednesday will be day 24.
