After much publicized repeated failures at probation, Lindsay Lohan is finally seeing the inside of a jail cell.? Some welcomed the judge finally dropping the hammer as long overdue.? They believed she had gotten away with too much too long.? It gnawed at a lot of people to think they would never receive so many chances, that her celebrity status gave her special privileges.??? They tired of watching her on television partying late and then missing her court date the next day. Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Marsha Revel sentenced Lohan to 3 months in jail.? She is expected to serve about one-quarter of that sentence, about two weeks.? The discount in time is credited to jail overcrowding.? After reporting to the jail in Beverly Hills, she was taken to the Century Regional Detention Facility a women?s facility in Lynwood, where she will serve her sentence in an isolation unit that previously hosted Paris Hilton in 2007.?? She will be separated from the general population for the same reason, the sheriff claims: her own safety.? She was sentenced to 3 additional months rehab on probation after she finishes her time behind bars. In sentencing Lohan, the judge found Lohan had repeatedly lied to authorities and to the court, failed to attend weekly alcohol education classes required by the terms of probation on her driving under the influence charge.? Shawn Chapman Holley was her lawyer at the sentencing, somewhat grim as the television cameras watched.? After the sentence, Robert Shapiro, famed for being a member of the O.J. Simpson dream team, announced he was representing Ms. Lohan, only to be replaced again by Ms. Holley again after a week.? Ms. Lohan had stayed the weekend before she was sentenced at Pickford Lofts, a sober-living rehabilitation center founded by Mr. Shapiro after his son died of a drug overdose. After listening to a tearful Lohan promise to do better this time and alibi for her repeated failures, the judge recited item for item the broken promises, missed appointments, and lies.? The judge noted Lohan had lied about being driving at her first arrest in 2007 and again in her second arrest two months later, both arrests for driving under the influence, and again lied about to whom the pants belonged in which a white substance was found, yet tested positive for cocaine in her system. The judge declined Lohan?s lawyer?s request for more out-of-custody ankle monitoring.? Ms. Lohan told the judge? she respected the court process.? While addressing the judge, observers could see an expletive written on the fingernail of Lohan?s middle finger, but no one knows whether the judge ever saw it.? Lohan claimed she believed she was in compliance with the requirements of the program, yet she missed 9 classes.? The judge?s 90-day sentence was harsher than the penalty sought by the prosecution. The judge initiated the revocation of Lohan?s probation by issuing an arrest warrant because the alarm activated from the monitoring ankle bracelet on Lohan?s ankle, the SCRAM (Secure Continuous Remote Alcohol Monitor).? The ankle bracelet announces the person?s consumption of alcohol or tempering with the bracelet.? However, the judge made clear her sentence was based on missed meetings, not the SCRAM violation. Most people suspect Ms. Lohan will be going to a country club type of facility to serve her sentence, but that is not how former inmates describe it.? They say it is not a nice place.
