It was kind of funny when you heard a person who judged to jail for 84 minutes, Lindsay Lohan spending just 84 minutes behind bars for a drunken driving and cocaine-possession conviction.
The 21-year-old actress checked herself into the Century Regional Detention Facility in Lynwood, California at 10:30 a.m. to serve a minimum 24-hour sentence following an alleged car chase in July, and a crash in Beverly Hills in May. In line with prison policy for releasing non-violent offenders due to overcrowding, Lohan was released at 11:54 a.m.(more details)
A reader comments that,
its so stupid to have prisoners go to jail for that short of a period, even a week seems ridiculous beacuse the costs to get them in there and paperwork and extra security, its ridiculous and is just costing tax-payers more and more money.
In fact, jail terms are often cut by L.A sheriffs because of prison overcrowding.

Before spending 84 minutes in jail, Lohan wraps herself in comfort during an outing near L.A home on Wednesday.
