Paris does porridge

[susantash]

Hi everyone!

I just wanted to confirm (or not) my theory.
This is the title of an article about paris Hilton and her time in jail.
I'm trying to see the conection between her and porridge and I was thinking it can be that in jail she will have to eat something like this.
What do you think?
Which other connotations do you think the word "porridge" could have in the context of this article?

Susantash. Porridge is prison slang for doing time in jail. Does porridge means goes to jail.

Great! I had no idea!
Thanks!!
Just one more question. What could be the origin of this expression? I'd like to know the role the word porridge plays in it.

Yes, your post was very amusing in the circumstances. I enjoyed the idea of her rough breakfast inside (also slang for in prison).

Time in jail is called doing porridge because it was the staple diet.
