Lindsay Lohan’s three-month sentence at the Century Regional Detention Facility in Lynwood, California will soon serve up a steaming slice of fresh humble pie for the rebellious young actress soon to trade in her Gucci pumps for regulation white sneakers.
She follows in the footsteps of Paris Hilton who, after violating her probation in a DUI case, served 23 days of a 45-day sentence at the very same institution and was released early for good behavior.
Because of Hilton’s experience and the sheriff’s long-standing tradition of releasing nonviolent offenders early for good behavior to relieve the overcrowded conditions, legal experts agree that Lohan will likely only serve two weeks to a month of her sentence, beginning July 20th.
When describing her first few nights spent in jail, Lohan told the press that she “was basically in the fetal position, basically in hysterics.” When asked about her impression of her fellow violators, she described the girls as “very supportive…we could talk through the vents and they were just really sweet.”
No special conditions will be met for Lohan’s incarceration other than to separate her from the general prison population for her safety and that of the guards. Just as every of the 1,800 other inmates upon arrival, Lohan will be photographed, fingerprinted, and searched according to L.A. sheriff’s spokesman, Steve Whitmore. She will then be placed in a holding cell, after which she will be assigned a 12 x 8 cell featuring two bunks, a toilet, sink, stool, and small tabletop. A slender 6 inch window will be Lohan’s only opportunity to view the outside world.
In fact, Lohan will most likely be kept within that very cell for 22 hours a day, allowed to leave for one hour of recreation time where she will have to choose between watching TV, playing basketball, making a phone call, or taking a hot shower. 20 minute meals begin the day at a mandatory 5 a.m. wakeup call, with breakfast consisting of two hard-boiled eggs, two pieces of wheat toast, and an orange juice carton. Lunch and dinner follow throughout the day, consisting of similarly bland fare.
Lohan might just be wishing for a slice of humble pie after three months of such cuisine.
