Kiefer Sutherland Sentenced to 48 Days in Jail

Kiefer Sutherland, who pleaded no contest to DUI, has been sentenced to serve 48 days of jail in a minimum security prison with no chance of early release. According to Times Online,

He will serve his sentence at Glendale city jail, but under a county jail inmate programme because of problems with overcrowding, Mr Jeffries said. Early release will not be considered.

The jail, where Sutherland specifically requested he serve his sentence, is a minimum security facility with 48 cells, each of them measuring 3 metres by 2.5 metres. They come equipped with two beds, a toilet, washbasin and water fountain, but the actor will not be sharing his cell with anyone.

Two beds, one toilet, a shower, a water fountain, free food, and a break from the real world? Where do I sign up? That isn’t punishment, it’s a damn vacation. Now all he has to do is push the two beds together and he’s living large… for free.
