Considering the absurdity we have seen so far, today's booking and cuffing of Lindsay Lohan was relatively tame, but still had some intrigue and circus elements to it. Lohan, wearing a weird black corset thing and some cool jeans, showed up 10 minutes late for the hearing today, after facing a throng of supporters, detractors, paparazzi and one guy who threw confetti on her as she made her way into the Beverly Hills court room.
She was accompanied by her former/current/get me out of here lawyer, Shawn Chapman Holley, who was called back into service after Robert Shapiro dropped Lohan earlier in the week. According to several news sources, Shapiro and Lohan had signed the proper paperwork to relieve Holley of her responsibility, but Holley had never signed it, so she was required to represent Lohan today.
Of course, the biggest development of the day was delivered by Judge
Marsha Revel who ordered all cameras (still and video) to be turned off,
so we did not get the ultimate photo or video of Lohan being cuffed and
reacting to it.
Within moments, Lohan was sentenced to 90 days in jail, cuffed and whisked off to the Lynwood jail, where she will have her own cell and, mostly, be segregated from the rest of the jail population for her own safety (and the safety of the other inmates).
She will be held in a 12' by 8' cell with one hour of recreation time each day, one shower every other day (but that can be made into once a day with good behavior), eat meals in her cell, which will consist of one hot meal each day, and wear an orange jumpsuit. Like other inmates, she will be allowed visitors on weekends.
Before she enters her cell, Lohan will be given a physical and mental exam to help determine what treatment she needs during her time in jail and afterward.
Upon booking, Lohan will have to surrender the corset, jeans, cropped jacket, makeup and hair extensions for what is expected to be a 23-day time spent in the big house, if she behaves.
After Lohan was put in a police car and driven to Lynwood, Holley and the prosecutor in the case met with the judge to determine how quickly Lohan must enter a rehab facility after being released. The judge originally ordered Lohan must enter within 24 hours of being released.
If this doesn't set Lindsay straight, nothing ever will.
