LOL...by her works we will get to know if it was a genuine 'conversion' or not. Poor bored, lonely, little rich girl.
People 'convert' when their butt is in distress and their 'normal' coping mechanisms DON'T work for them. As the man said: 'there are no atheists in a foxhole'....Interesting story here: when satan was thrown onto this earth, 1917, 'it' was enraged and showed its total blood lust !! Thus, we had WWI. Young men, in Europe, were in trenches on opposing sides. In the middle, was no man's land, i.e. barbed wire, mines, and a hail of machine gun bullets.
Now, before digging the trench, they were issued little portable shovels and dug a hole, just as fast as they could, and hunkered down in it; praying that a machine gun (or sniper) bullet did not find them first. During this time - there were no atheists, wiccans, satanists or pantheists...it was REAL personal, up close and personal !!
And the two warring factions were in a stalemate. So, add to the mix, an egocentric, narcissistic and wicked man (who was well behind the trenches, with 'his staff'); who decided, "we aren't getting anywhere, I know what to do !! I will order the young men to "go over the top" and "into no man's land" and, sooner or later, they'll trudge their way into the enemies trenches, or at least, get them to retreat".
The first day of this campaign saw the slaughter of hundreds of young men. And the general said: "Hmmm, not such a good idea, I need a Plan B"....NO, that is NOT what the arrogant worm concluded, he order men 'over the top' for 4,5 months, day after day, to the tune of almost one half a MILLION young lads slaughtered !!!

Because in jail the person finally finds themselves broken and humbled. We're too prideful and arrogant to admit that we need God otherwise. So God allows our lifestyle to catch up with us in order to bring us to a point of despair, looking for someone bigger than ourselves to save us. (i.e. Paris Hilton)
Don't worry...God doesn't want YOU to go to jail to find Him. He would rather you trust in Him right NOW! But if I am correct and your heart is too prideful and arrogant to humble yourself and accept Him, then He will let you go your way. But you will reap what you sow. It's not because He's mad at you or doesn't like you. Rather, YOU chose to ignore Him!
If you continue to harden your heart when He is calling out to you, ignoring the very One who made you, you will not know Him...and the worst part is; You chose to ignore Him...the Maker of everything that exists! He didn't ignore you, in fact, He became a man and took the punishment you deserve so you wouldn't have to be apart from Him.
But if you decide that you would like to figure out some other way to Him, because His way wasn't good enough for you or you just think it is silly, good luck. This was the Creator of the universe's plan for rebellious mankind to come back to Him and if you turn it down, I assure you that you will find no other to get you to Him. (John 14:6)

She would have said she was a Christian going in. It is actually quite rare that someone changes religions in prison. The studies I have seen say that it is close to 99% answer the question the same when they go in and when they come out.
Now some people do start to take it more seriously because they see prison as god punishing them.

I do hope that she turned her life around. sometimes we need a kick in the pants to turn us around.
Maybe she realized that she is not above sin.
While I see her past as pretty vile, she still can change, like anyone else.
We will see what happens now. There are already hints of her starting a half-way house for women just out of prison.
If she uses her wealth and fame for the cause of good, then God bless her.

amative_unity gave a great answer.
I suspect that Paris has already gone back to her former ways. She'll be back on the drinking/partying circuit before the day is over.

most prisoners find God in jail. its like a revelation to them because they have hit bottom. but the true test is how they will act when they get out of jail or prison.

Finding Jesus gets you out of jail more quickly. Just ask Jeb Bush and the thousands of 'born-agains' he let loose in Florida.

Seeking after salvation, takes on a whole new meaning when one is locked up.
