Shamed socialite Paris Hilton has been visited by her psychiatrist in jail, prompting fears that she's finding it difficult to adjust to her new home.
Psychiatrist Charles Sophy dashed to see Paris 35 hours after she checked in to the Century Regional Detention Centre in LA, but declinedto comment on the purpose of his visit to the media waiting outside the facility.
According to reports, Paris is very emotional and has been crying hysterically down the phone to her mother, complaining that her cell is freezing cold and that she has not been able to eat.
Unlike her fellow inmates, who are serving their sentences in dorm-like rooms, Paris has been placed in solitary confinement for her own protection.
"She cries all day," a source told People magazine in its new issue. "She looks unwashed, she has no makeup and her hair is tangled. She cried audibly through the first two nights."
Just hours before her admission to jail, Paris was waltzing down the red carpet at the MTV Movie Awards - which makes the transition from glamour kitten to jailbird even more dramatic.
So what's a typical day like for the 26-year-old celebrity heiress at the detention facility?
Confined to a 12-by-8-foot (3.7m-by-2.4m) cell, with a bunk bed, sink, toilet and a single window, Paris is isolated for 23 hours a day.
Dressed in the standard prison garb - bright orange cotton/polyester-blend jumpsuit created by fellow Los Angeles County inmates in sewing classes - life is pretty lonely for Hilton.
Mealtime consists of simple fare - lunch on June 5 was reportedly a bologna sandwich and two chocolate-chip cookies.
"She's in isolation for 23 of the 24 hours of the day," her lawyer, Richard A. Hutton told reporters on Monday.
"Because of who she is, they had no choice . . . but to place her in administrative segregation."
Hilton has so far been granted two visitors: Hutton and her psychiatrist, Dr Sophy.
But Hutton maintains: "She's doing very well under the circumstances."
