I got home and my BlackBerry had 698 messages. It's made me realize there are people I want to cut in my life and people who I want closer to me. Who would you want to cut? People who don't have my best interest in mind. People who are negative.
Did Nicole Richie visit? Did you have contact with her?
Yeah, we spoke on the phone, but she was out of town at that point.
Prior to serving your sentence, you were spotted with self-help books and the Bible.
I don't think anyone can really understand how it is to be in jail unless you've been in there. I was just trying to strengthen myself spiritually, and I continued to do so. I read The Power of Now, The Secret, The Alchemist. The Bible I read a lot.
What did you take away from that?
Just getting closer to God and my higher self. There was a nun who works at the jail for all the ladies, and she would come every day and we would pray. When I was alone I would pray to God to give me strength.
Describe checking into the Lynwood jail on June 3.
They do the [strip] search – which is humiliating enough – and fingerprints, mugshot, just like you would see in a movie. I couldn't believe it was happening.
There was a lot said about getting rid of your hair extensions, but you were able to keep them in jail.
[They are from] my hair extension line DreamCatchers, and if they're [woven] tight, you're allowed to [keep them in].
Were you able to sleep?
No. I was terrified and I'm claustrophobic as it is. I was basically in the fetal position, basically in hysterics, terrified. And having severe anxiety and panic attacks. It's all kind of a blur to me. It's literally just a metal rod bunk bed with a green plastic mattress, one sheet and one very cheap blanket. It's really cold, it's really loud. The guards constantly are opening and shutting this huge metal door so there's a lot of noise.
Were you in a cell alone?
Yes.
