Lindsey Lohan Released from Jail
After being ordered to serve 90 days in jail for violating the terms of her California DUI probation, actress Lindsey Lohan has been released…and after serving only 14 days in the Lynwood facility. She was immediately taken to UCLA to begin her 90-day rehab sentence.
Although jail overcrowding and “good time” credits are responsible for significantly reducing jail sentences, the prosecutor on the case has stated that Lohan will have to serve her entire 90-day rehab sentence.
This is because judges have little control over when jail facilities release their inmates. They do, however, retain control over other California DUI probation conditions, which can include participation in drug and/or alcohol rehabilitation programs.
If Lohan doesn’t comply with the program…and, yet again, violates her probation…she will likely serve another jail sentence.
