Offering up a solution to Los Angeles County's overcrowding problem in the jail system, Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio has suggested the possibility of housing Paris Hilton in Tent City, his notoriously bare bones jail facility, which doesn't even have air conditioning. The inmates sleep in tents on bunks, making the cost of running Tent City incredibly low. Arpaio spoke with L.A. County's chief of jails and made the offer as a creative solution to avoid allowing the heiress to walk away from her sentence scot-free.

"I just made an offer," Arpaio said. "Instead of reducing her sentence, which I feel is wrong, why not bring her over here? We can incarcerate her here. She can do her time over here."

And according to the Maricopa County Sheriff's department, the Los Angeles County Sheriff is considering the proposal.

"Oh, I'd love to have her here," Arpaio said. "Just another celebrity. Not that I'm a publicity hound, but I'd imagine if I had her in these tents there'd be (publicity)."

Ooh, I rather like it. Hey Paris, want to know what's hot? The Arizona desert without air-conditioning in the summer.
