LINDSAY Lohan has been released from jail, but she's not exactly a free woman.
The actress was discharged at 1:35am yesterday after serving 14 days of a 90-day sentence for violating her probation in a 2007 drug case, Los Angeles sheriff's spokesman Steve Whitmore said. She was required to immediately begin a three-month stint in rehab, he added.
A prosecutor has said that Lohan cannot be released early and will have to spend the entire time in treatment.
According to celebrity website TMZ.com, Lohan will be treated for bipolar disorder and an addiction to amphetamines. Both TMZ and rival outlet Radaronline.com said Lohan would be at a facility operated by the University of California at Los Angeles Hospital System in West Los Angeles.
Due to overcrowding in California jails, inmates such as Lohan who are serving time for nonviolent offenses and have no criminal records typically have their stays reduced for good behavior.
Lohan, 24, was released to a waiting vehicle and did not walk out of the front doorway, avoiding a throng of photographers.
Lohan pleaded guilty in August 2007 to two misdemeanor counts of being under the influence of cocaine; no contest to two counts of driving with a blood-alcohol level above 0.08 percent and one count of reckless driving. She was sentenced to three years of probation.
Media have been camped outside the jail since Lohan was booked on July 20. The sentence put several of Lohan's projects on hold, including her starring role in as Linda Lovelace in a biopic on the porn star's life.
The women's jail operated by the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department in Lynwood has hosted several starlets, including actress Michelle Rodriguez and socialite Paris Hilton. Lohan spent 84 minutes there in 2007 after being sentenced for her original case.
