Nicole Richie to Pay for Her Own Jail Time




Nicole Richie

HOLLYWOOD - Nicole Richie will face the ultimate indignation when she serves four days in prison later this summer--she'll have to pay for her time behind bars out of her own pocket.

The socialite/actress pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor for driving under the influence of drugs in Los Angeles on Friday and was sentenced to serve 96 hours behind bars for what was her second DUI charge in two years.

And now Los Angeles officials have confirmed that the terms of her sentence mean Richie will have to pay for her own jail time, which she must complete by Sept. 28.

Richie also has 21 days for enroll in a drug and alcohol program--and she has to pay a fine of over $2,000.

The socialite daughter of soul star Lionel Richie, who is reportedly pregnant with boyfriend Joel Madden's child, was also placed on probation for three years. If she violates the terms of her probation, she could face another year in jail.
