Hollywood star Lindsay Lohan's jail sentence cut short - reposted by andre di cioccio

LINDSAY Lohan will reportedly spend just 14 days of her 90-day jail sentence behind bars due to prison overcrowding.

The fallen US starlet was taken into custody today after violating the probation terms of her 2007 drug and alcohol case.

Lohan's inmate information form on the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department website lists a projected release date of September 9, however police documents state that she will be released on August 2, The Los Angeles Times reports.

The rise and fall of Lindsay Lohan

In a short hearing today, judge Marsha Revel explicitly forbade Lohan from being released early under a work release or electronic monitoring program, however overcrowding in US jails typically means that inmates only serve 25 per cent of their sentences, sometimes less.

Dressed in blue jeans, black boots and a black leather jacket, the Mean Girls actress was showered with glitter by one spectator in the assembled throng of journalists and fans as she entered the Los Angeles courthouse.

"Miss Lohan is here for surrender," Superior Court Judge Marsha Revel said when Lohan appeared in court with her lawyer, Shawn Chapman Holley.

"The court has already indicated the sentence. Unless there is anything else, I'm going to order that she be remanded to custody," Ms Revel said.

After a short exchange with Ms Holley, the judge ordered cameras to be shut off as Lohan was moved to a holding area ahead of her transfer to a nearby correctional facility.

As Lohan exited the courtroom to be handcuffed away from the glare of the cameras, her dad, Michael Lohan, told her "We love you, Lindsay", People reported.

Lohan's mother, Dina, was also present to support her daughter.

Lohan is expected to serve her time in isolation at the Century Regional Detention Facility, a women's jail in the industrial suburb of Lynwood, California.

Lynwood is located roughly 35km south of downtown Los Angeles and is the same facility where Paris Hilton served 23 days for violating probation in an alcohol-related reckless driving case in 2007.

While Lohan had no comment for reporters awaiting her surrender, she tweeted earlier that "the only 'bookings' that i'm familiar with are Disney Films, never thought that i'd be 'booking' into Jail... eeeks".

The former Disney child star was sentenced to jail and 90 days in an inpatient rehab program for violating the probation terms of her drug and alcohol case by not attending enough alcohol education classes.

Her skipping of seven classes at Right On Programs, Inc., was a violation of her parole.

In positive news for the actress, it seems her detention has not stopped the offers of work pouring in with Lohan set to strip for a role in an adult film following her release from prison.

Gossip website RadarOnline.com reported that Lohan will strip for the film Inferno, in which she will play the adult film legend Linda Lovelace.

The film will start production after Lohan finishes her sentence.

Inferno
director Matthew Wilder told RadarOnline.com that Lohan fans could expect "full frontal nudity".

"But it will not be cinematic nudity - it will be more violent nudity," he said.

“For example, linked images of the Vietnam war - that kind of context.

“It’s not a porn movie, it’s an artistic movie about a porn star."
