Kiefer Sutherland Goes To Jail

According to the L.A. County Sheriff’s Department, the 40-year-old TV star will be staying in a cell by himself at the jail in Glendale, California - as he arrived at 5:46 pm to begin the booking process.

"Mr. Sutherland is very polite and humble. He was very cooperative during the booking process,” jail spokesman Officer John Balian told press, adding, “He will be issued an orange jumpsuit, and will be housed alone in a cell, since he’ll be a long-term inmate.”

Meanwhile, reports from People magazine tell that “Sutherland will be assigned to laundry and kitchen duty, serving breakfast, lunch and dinner to the other inmates. As an inmate worker, he’ll be allowed the roam the jail ‘about 75 percent of the time’ – rather than be confined to his cell all day – though the only time he’ll be in contact with other inmates is when he’s serving food.”

The lockup comes as a result of a sentence that was handed down earlier in the afternoon for DUI and probation violation. Those on the scene tell, “(Kiefer) wore a black pinstripe suit and looked contrite before the judge, who spared him from the much harsher L.A. County facility. Asked if he had any comment, Sutherland smiled and shook his head as he walked away from the courtroom.”
