What Life Is Like for Lindsay Lohan Behind Bars

By PopEater Staff Posted Jul 21st 2010 02:00PM

Lindsay Lohan surrendered herself to authorities on Tuesday to begin serving her 90-day jail sentence. But what will life behind bars be like for the 'Mean Girls' actress?

Her cell at the women's correctional facility in Lynwood, California, is 12-by-8 feet, and she will be separated from the other 1,800 prisoners, according to the Associated Press. Lohan joins a list of famous females who've been housed in the same jail, including Paris Hilton, Nicole Richie, Khloe Kardashian and 'Lost' alum Michelle Rodriguez.

In a twist of fate, Alexis Neiers, star of E!'s 'Pretty Wild,' is in the cell next to Lohan's. Neiers is currently incarcerated for her part in a string of robberies that hit celebrity homes -- including Lohan's, USA Today reports. Yahoo says Lindsay occupies cell 28, with Neiers in 29.

Although Neiers is behind bars specifically for burglarizing Orlando Bloom, a watch stolen from Lindsay was found at the Neiers' home.

Meanwhile, Lohan's first visitor was her attorney, Shawn Chapman Holley. "Understandably, Lindsay's having a difficult time adjusting as it would be for anyone. She's trying to make the necessary adjustments to an extremely stressful and difficult situation. There were some tears," the lawyer told PEOPLE.

For other visitors, there are a few issues: "It's a four-hour wait for visitors, which is totally crazy. Dina and Lindsay's other visitors will have to wait on line with everyone else," a source close to the actress tells PopEater.

The source also adds, "Her father will not be allowed to visit her. She wants no part of him."

She does have some support while inside. When Lohan arrived at the facility, the inmates cheered for her.

"Lindsay was crying when she came in. She was handcuffed but seemed calm. We all started saying 'God bless you Lindsay' and saying 'Hi' to her and then she smiled at us," prisoner Tiffany Hawes, who was being released at the same time, explained to Britain's Daily Mail.

TMZ has the details on her daily routine while she's locked away. She'll be allowed to exercise three times a week, shower every other day, and will be served two cold meals and one hot meal every day.

What will she do with the 20-hours a day she'll spend alone? "Lindsay is going to spend her time in jail writing new songs that she will record the second she gets out. Her emotions are so raw at the moment the material will be her best ever. It will definitely get nominated for a Grammy," PopEater's source says.

If she behaves herself and the jail remains overcrowded, Lohan will only have to spend 12-13 days behind bars for violating her probation from previous drug and alcohol arrests, a spokesman for the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department said on Tuesday. It's a big break for Lohan, who was given 90 days by a judge and was initially expected to serve about 23 days of that sentence.

Steve Whitmore told reporters that nonviolent female inmates generally serve about 25 percent of their sentence, principally because of overcrowding in the jail system. He indicated to PEOPLE that Lohan would likely be released from Century Regional Detention Facility either August 1 or 2.

At Tuesday's hearing, Beverly Hills Judge Marsha Revel ordered that Lohan must not be released to house arrest or electronic monitoring and also slashed the 24-year-old's transition time between jail and her 90-day rehab stint from 48 to 24 hours.

Lohan was sentenced July 6 to 90 days in jail and a 90-day inpatient rehabilitation program for violating probation on an old DUI and drug case.

Why is she in solitary most of the day? How is that going to help this gravely mixed up young woman?

By Evie

Exactly. She should do work like the rest of the inmates. You know, like cleaning and stuff.

By Cdub

Teddy boy, she has had her chances. She is a loser!

By GroovyMom27

she is in solitary because there are girls there in the regular population who (as gang members) could get major street creds if they beat the crap out of a famous person!
And just think, she will have no one but herself to deal with and talk to!!! That sounds like a real downer!!!! LOL

Who cares about this ,we as a society where our favorite show is "Idol",no wonder we have such low school test scores,we are too worried about what goes on in Beverly hills to worry about the things such as good education,being a little more informed about world events etc. I am deeply saddened by the attention given these people I mean WHO CARES?????????????

Maybe being locked up by herself, will give Lindsay, time
to get her thought's in proper order, and get her life back on the right track, like it used to be.

By courtnee

why does she get special treatment just because shes a celeb doesnt make her any different then the people who spend time in jail that arent famous they are human beings just like the rest off us except they have more money and they are just well known she should be treated like everyone else including jail time.. this is pathetic....

By Eric

The fact is Ted that by her being in jail in itself will be a help on a road toward recovery of her addictions. Secondly, the reason they put her in what you call "SOLITARY" is that if she were to be put out into the general population it could have grave consequences not only to her physical being but as you know (or should) that drugs are very previlant on the inside and we ALL know that she has a problem staying away from her addiction. She is like many other celebrity stars that have been behind bars before her.

She is spending her time in solitary because as someone else mentions, it would score big points if a girl were the first to kick her butt - or worse given that relationship she had with Sam Ronson - could be the first to " tap " Lindsay Lohan! It's just a little jail house justice. They figure a rich, famous and basically lucky girl who still screws up enough to get behind bars is due a good reality alert! I don't condone it and even I am starting to feel sorry for the witch-however when I see her digs, knowing there are bull pens, general population pods where the toilet is right there for all the cell block to see you-the sympathy ends there. You see, the two cold and one hot meals alone are better than the bag of a green balogna sandwich, with a rotting orange that most gals get three times a day-not to mention that sugarless kool aid! ( No, I am not a thug, I fell alseep after driving 26 hrs and in Santa Rosa County Fla I crashed my car and they found my husband's pain pills that I was taking to him down there but given the wreck and the pills in the trunk they thought I was on them til a blood test cleared me-still it was the day before Thanksgiving and there weren't a lot of Lawyers and bondsmen open who'd do an out of state bond! It all got cleared up with no charges at all but I had to stay there til Monday to get it all settled! ) So yes I DO think she should be in there-some of us get into trouble without even trying, this chick tempted the law by thumbing her nose at her probation requirements so yeah-she is where she should be! And very lucky the law is required to protect her while she's there!
