Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie really do do everything together! Usmagazine.com has confirmed that Richie will serve out her four-day sentence at the Century Regional Detention Facility at Los Angeles County's women's jail in Lynwood, California, where Hilton, 26, recently spent 23 days for violating probation.

“Nicole Richie's attorney has indicated that she wants to do her time in county jail,” L.A. County Sheriff's Department spokesman Steve Whitmore tells Usmagazine.com.

“Lynwood is the only county jail for women in Los Angeles, so if she does go to county jail she will go to Lynwood.”

According to TMZ, Richie could benefit from Lynwood’s overcrowding problem and possibly have her sentence reduced.

The former reality star -- who recently announced that she’s four months pregnant -- could enter Lynwood late in the evening (as Paris did) and get credit for an entire day.

There’s also a chance Richie, 25, could be awarded "good time" credit, which would also shorten the sentence.

When asked whether Richie could possibly be released early on good behavior, Whitmore refused to speculate, saying, “All things are decided upon entering the jail.”
