[quote][B]Los Angeles (CNN) -- Actress Lindsay Lohan showed up three weeks early at a Los Angeles jail to begin serving her sentence for a theft charge, but it was determined that she would be allowed to serve her time in home confinement, Los Angeles County Sheriff's spokesman Steve Whitmore said Thursday.[/B] Lohan was sentenced May 11 to 120 days in jail, but overcrowding at the facility and state rules could reduce the time she must be confined to her Venice, California, home to about two weeks, according to information previously provided by the sheriff's office. Lohan, 24, pleaded no contest to a misdemeanor theft charge stemming from a January incident in which she apparently left a Venice jewelry store wearing a gold and diamond necklace for which she had not paid. Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge Stephanie Sautner gave the actress until June 17 to begin the sentence, but Lohan reported to the jail early Thursday, Whitmore said. Once there, it was determined that she was eligible for home confinement instead of jail, he said. The actress was fitted with an electronic ankle bracelet to monitor her movements and ensure she stays at home, except as allowed by the court, he said. Early release formulas, required by a federal order to reduce jail overcrowding, will likely reduce the sentence to about 14 days, Whitmore said after the sentencing. "Because of budget constraints and because we're under a federal consent decree that requires us to curb our overcrowding situation, nonviolent offenders, lesser crimes, get 20% of their sentence," the spokesman explained. Sautner remarked that the discounts on the sentences "seems to be like shopping at Costco." As part of Lohan's sentence, Sautner also ordered that the actress remain on supervised probation until she completes 480 hours of community service. But the judge rejected Deputy City Attorney Melanie Chavira's request for substance abuse counseling for the actress. Sautner said drugs and alcohol are not the root of Lohan's legal troubles, but "she's got other problems for which she self-medicates." Lohan's four years in and out of court -- and sometimes jail -- started with two drunken driving arrests in 2007. Since then, she's spent more than eight months in substance abuse rehabilitation programs. After her sentencing, the court released a probation report that said the actress "appears to be continuing to struggle with substance abuse issues." "It would appear that the defendant's criminal conduct is increasing in seriousness and severity," the probation report said, yet it suggested she serve her sentence on probation and not in jail. Lohan tested positive for alcohol use, a violation of probation rules, in February, the report said. It also revealed that the drug test failure last August, which resulted in a jail sentence and court-ordered rehab, involved cocaine and amphetamines. Lohan was not at the May 11 hearing, but her lawyer entered a no-contest plea -- equivalent to a guilty plea -- to the misdemeanor theft charge on her behalf. "I am glad to be able to put this past me and move on with my life and my career," Lohan said in a written statement released by her lawyer. "I support the judge's decision and hold myself accountable for being in this situation."[/quote] [url]http://edition.cnn.com/2011/SHOWBIZ/celebrity.news.gossip/05/26/lindsay.lohan.sentence/[/url]
Oh god dammit.
One word: [B][U][I]BULLSHIT[/I][/U][/B]
Well that seems really fair to people who aren't famous.
I'm seriously tired of this shit being pulled. Just because you are famous doesn't give you a get out of jail free card to use when ever you want.
If I were a judge I would have locked her ass up. Fuck that bitch.

Celebrity Justice Unless they straight up murder someone, famous people never have to pay for their crimes.
[QUOTE=JDK721;30065350]calm down. does this really affect you that much? read this line from the article:[/QUOTE] Yes but the thing is, her sentence was also reduced to two fucking weeks. Two weeks of laying around in her nice comfy California home where she won't learn a damn thing. I'm just saying that maybe she should just serve some time in the jail once it clears up or move here to a different one.

Unless I fucking took that the wrong way, that is class A bullshit.
So she got grounded?
I don't think I'd really notice the difference between living normally and being on house arrest honestly... :smith:
[QUOTE=silentjubjub;30065455]She's NOT IN THE FUCKING JAIL. Unless I fucking took that the wrong way, that is class A bullshit.[/QUOTE] she WOULD HAVE been in jail, but they decided on home confinement due to the overcrowding in jail
[QUOTE=JDK721;30065444] overcrowding hurpadurp[/QUOTE] That is quite obviously a bullshit excuse.

[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wOxt9PoJNkg[/media] I mean, GOOD GOD! They should have locked up this bitch in jail MONTHS ago! But of course, she had to be bailed out.
Damnit. I wish I got sentenced to live in a mansion for 120 days when I stole something.
[QUOTE=JDK721;30065524]she WOULD HAVE been in jail, but they decided on home confinement due to the overcrowding in jail[/QUOTE] No that was actually said AFTER she got sentenced to home confinement.
[QUOTE=Mr. Someguy;30065556]Damnit. I wish I got sentenced to live in a mansion for 120 days when I stole something.[/QUOTE] That's what pisses me off about this so much. Shes not going to learn a damned thing from being basically grounded to her mansion for 14 days. The 14 days will go by and then she'll get in a car wreck for drunk driving. And this will happen again. :argh:

To be fair, California's prisons are way overpopulated [quote] State prison overcrowding hits home By Greta Mart Staff Reporter May 26, 2011 The three men accused of murdering Martinez teen Eric Bean will be sent to state prison if convicted by a jury, said a spokesperson for the Contra Costa County Sheriff’s Office Wednesday, regardless of this week’s U.S. Supreme Court decision ordering California to reduce its prison population. Bean’s alleged killers – Robert Gardner, Timothy Danny Delosreyes Jr. and his son Timothy Danny Delosreyes III – have been incarcerated at the Martinez jail since their arrest in March 2010. A jury trial is scheduled to be set on June 6. Jimmy Lee of the Sheriff’s Office confirmed that, if found guilty of first-degree murder and several other charges, Gardner and the Delosreyes will be transferred to a high-security state prison, rather than languish for years in the Martinez Detention Center. The downtown jail, built in 1981, currently houses roughly 600 inmates, and “was built to house pre-sentenced and sentenced inmates who do not qualify for less restrictive environments,” according to the County. The nation’s top judicial body said Monday that the state of California has been told to correct its prison overcrowding problem for over 20 years. “The degree of overcrowding in California’s prisons is exceptional. California’s prisons are designed to house a population just under 80,000, but at the time of the three-judge court’s decision the population was almost double that. The State’s prisons had operated at around 200 percent of design capacity for at least 11 years. Prisoners are crammed into spaces neither designed nor intended to house inmates. As many as 200 prisoners may live in a gymnasium, monitored by as few as two or three correctional officers … [and] as many as 54 prisoners may share a single toilet,” The Supreme Court has required California to reduce its prison population by 137.5 percent within the next two years.[/quote] [url]http://www.martinezgazette.com/news/story/i2652/2011/05/26/state-prison-overcrowding-hits-home[/url]
