Lindsay Lohan's Jail Stint: From 90 Days to Two Weeks
July 20, 2010 — -- Lindsay Lohan's stint in the slammer could be as short as two weeks.
ABC News affiliate KABC TV in Los Angels has learned the actress, who began her sentence today at the Century Regional Detention Center in Lynwood, California, has a projected release date of Aug. 2. Earlier this month, she was sentenced to 90 days in prison and 90 days in-patient rehab for violating her 2007 probation.
Lohan could spend more time in jail because Beverly Hills Judge Masha Revel ruled out work release or electronic monitoring in her probation violation case.
ABCNews.com's calls to the L.A. County Sheriff's Department were not immediately returned.
Ten minutes late, clad in sunglasses that couldn't hide a steely glare, Lohan marched past a throng of photographers and glitter-throwing fans today for a pre-prison court hearing.
She sat through a brief courtroom discussion before Revel ordered that all cameras be shut off for Lohan's handcuffing. The actress stood, placed her hands behind her back, and let two deputies cuff her and lead her out of the courtroom without making a scene.
Not so for her estranged father. Michael Lohan shouted, "We love you, Lindsay," as she was escorted out. Lohan's mother, Dina, and younger sister, Ali, also watched as she was taken into custody.
From the courtroom, Lohan went to a courthouse holding facility before shipping off to the Lynwood facility. Before leaving the courthouse, she swapped out her jeans, sleeveless top, cropped jacket and corset belt for her new, albeit temporary, wardrobe: an orange jail jumpsuit.
Shawn Chapman Holley, who resigned as Lohan's lawyer after her July 6 sentencing, represented the actress at the hearing. She addressed reporters afterwards, saying that she stepped back into the Lohan case when the actress decided she did not want famed O.J. Simpson attorney Robert Shapiro to represent her.
"She's stepped up, she's accepted responsibility," Holley said about Lohan. "She's scared as anyone would be, but she's as resolute and she's doing it."
Lohan's surrender came two weeks after her tearful sentencing hearing, in which she sobbed as Judge Revel handed down her sentence.
