In jail serving out the remainder of her sentence for violating parole on reckless driving charges, Paris Hilton phoned ABC News' Barbara Walters Sunday to discuss her state of mind, her experience in prison and how she feels she has changed.

Barbara Walters will discuss more of her conversation with Paris Hilton on "The View" at 11 a.m. ET.

Hilton said jail and the chaos surrounding her sentence have made her realize she must clean up her act.
"I used to act dumb," she told Walters in the exclusive phone conversation. "That act is no longer cute. Now, I would like to make a difference. ... God has given me this new chance."
Hilton confirmed to Walters just how terrible her initial three days in jail were. It might explain why she cried when she was handcuffed and transported back to jail from her Hollywood home.
"I was not eating or sleeping," she said. "I was severely depressed and felt as if I was in a cage. ... It was a horrible experience."
The unusual jailhouse call came about because Kathy Hilton, Paris' mother, phoned Walters. During the conversation, Paris rang in on another line. When told that Kathy was talking to Walters, Paris said she'd like to speak to Walters herself.
Walters then agreed to accept a collect call from Paris in jail. All prisoners are required to call collect.
Nicky Hilton, Paris' younger sister, described the jailed debutante as "being strong" on her way out of a jailhouse visit on Sunday. In a statement earlier that day, Paris directed her lawyers not to appeal her sentence and urged the media to focus on more important things like Iraq.

"God has given me this new chance."

Well, praise the Lawd, she's found religion!

Hallejulah!

Instead of finding God, i wish she'd find a well and throw herself in it.

Felt as if you were in a cage? Maybe she won't act dumb anymore (doubt it), but she's still dumb as a brick. Maybe she went so insane in those first few days she was sure she was sitting outside at the Ivy but yet had this strange feeling that she was enclosed and there were bars around her.

If people dont see this as a reputation saving move, i would be convinced that the world is dumb.

I love the understatement of this: "Walters then agreed to accept a collect call from Paris in jail."

She agreed to accept the call. ha ha I'm sorry to put distasteful imagery into anyone's head, but Barbara Walters was using a vibrator on herself while she was waiting for that phone to ring.

I knew I didnt like Barbara Walters.
