Lindsay Lohan Sentenced to Jail for 90 Days

Lindsay Lohan is going to jail.
The actress violated the terms of her probation, a Los Angeles court determined after hours of intense debate.
Judge Marsha Revel sentenced the stunned starlet to jail for 90 days as punishment for not completing her alcohol education classes weekly, as ordered by the court.
Lohan’s failure to do so, Revel decided, constitutes a violation of her probation conditions. She then laid out the consequences.
The sentence breaks down as follows: 30 days for reckless driving, followed by 30 days for her first DUI, and then 30 days for a second DUI. Following her 90 days of incarceration, Lohan has been ordered to a 90-day inpatient rehabilitation facility.
Though Lohan’s attorney, Shawn Chapman Holley, argued that her client was almost done completing the required number of classes, the judge still wasn’t moved.
For a few dramatic moments, Lohan herself addressed the court, telling the judge, “I just wanted to take a minute to say that as far as I knew, I was being in compliant (sic)… I wasn’t expecting any special treatment. I have to provide for myself. I have to work. My schedule, unfortunately, is very different.”
“Having said that, I did everything I was told to do, and did the best I could to balance jobs and showing up. I’m sorry.”
Unable to hold back her tears, a sobbing Lohan also told the court: “I’m not taking this as a joke. This is my life. This is my career…I take responsibility for my actions. I try to do the best I can do. …It did wake me up… I don’t want you to think I don’t respect you or your terms.”
The judge explained that she “couldn’t have been more clear” with Lohan in the past that her freedom was at stake.
“Nowhere did I say substantial compliance to be good enough,” said Revel, as Lohan loudly cried.
Lohan must surrender on July 20.
Lohan will be sent to the all-women’s Century Regional Detention Facility in Lynwood, California, where she will be kept separate from other inmates.
That is the same jail Paris Hilton spent three weeks in back in 2007.
It’s expected that Lohan will only need to serve about one-fourth of her sentence, meaning around 25 days.
