EXCLUSIVE: Hilton Calls Barbara Walters From Jail -- 'God Has Released Me'

She 'Was Severely Depressed and Felt as If I Was in a Cage,' but now Has 'New Chance'

She is reading newspapers — The LA Times and the Wall Street Journal — and books like "The Secret," "The Power of Now" and the Bible.

When she is not in her room, she can play ping pong.

She said the other women had all been friendly and the guards had been fair.

She wears the prescribed prison garb: an orange or brown jumpsuit.

She is not allowed makeup. She said that her skin was very dry and that she was not allowed cream.

"It doesn't matter," she said, "I'm not that superficial girl. I haven't looked in the mirror since I got here."

She said, "I feel that the purpose of my life is to be where I am. However, usually with a situation like mine, the person serves 10 percent of their time. I have already served 30 percent of my time. I hope if there is overcrowding in the jail, I would be let out before someone with a much more serious crime."

Her mother had earlier told me that Paris said, "I will never again have a drink and drive."
