Sentenced Lindsay Lohan to 30 days in Jail

 
Yesterday, Judge Stephanie Sautner sentenced Lindsay Lohan to 30 days in jail due to violating the terms of her probation.But it looks more like the starlet is going to only spend mere minutes in the slammer due to overcrowding.
Sheriff's Department officials told TMZ that if someone receives a misdemeanor sentence of 90 days or less, they are routinely processed and then released. One of the officials commented that Lindsay will "be out without even having to change her clothes."

Judge Sautner explained in court yesterday that the only way to shave time off Lindsay's sentence is if it's required by law. However, the Sheriff's Department claims there's a federal court order on overcrowding that "trumps everything," and that order has been interpreted to immediately release people with short jail sentences. So basically, Lindsay Lohan will be released from jail faster than the amount of time it takes you to read this entire article. I'm sure that's totally enough time to make her see the error of her ways. Let's hear it for our judicial system!

TMZ also discovered that the reason Lindsay doesn't have to report to jail until November 9th is because the judge decided to allow her time to complete her nude photo shoot for Playboy. The magazine wasn't completely satisfied with the results of the original photo shoot and requested that the actress return for a do-over. Sources say Lindsay's lawyer, Shawn Holley, spoke with Judge Sautner on the matter and explained that the Hollywood star's contract with Playboy requires the shoot to be completed this week. If it isn't, then Lindsay will be in breach of her contract. So Judge Sautner gave her one week to surrender in order to complete her Playboy obligations.

Well that makes sense. I mean, why let something silly like jail time get in the way of Lindsay's comeback career? It's good to see they aren't showing any favoritism.
