Lindsay Lohan was a jailbird for just 84 minutes Thursday, becoming the latest celebrity to serve less than a day for a drunken driving offense.
Lohan, 21, turned herself in to the Los Angeles County women's detention center in Lynwood at 10:30 a.m. She was searched, fingerprinted and placed in a holding cell in the inmate reception area but got to keep her street clothes, sheriff's spokesman Steve Whitmore said.
"She was cooperative," he said.
Lohan was released at 11:54 a.m. Her original daylong sentence was reduced because she met criteria that took into account overcrowding at the lockup and the fact that her crime was nonviolent, Whitmore said.
Did the celebrity receive special treatment?
"Absolutely not. This is what we do for most everybody in this position," Whitmore said. In fact, 30 to 50 women are granted early releases from the facility every day, he added.

Another absolute disgrace for our legal system. The Judge should have their judgeship taken away and be disbarred permanently. ANY other citizen would be in jail still. Why are we making exceptions for celebs like they are above the law? Better question: why as a society is no one objecting to this abomination of our justice system?

This is just another example of how bimbos from squirrleywood face the law. had it been me or anyone not associated with the movie industry, sports or music, we would have gotten 6 months and served it.The L.A. sheriff's dept. is a joke, and regardless of all the denials, those dopeheads/drunks do get special treatment. If overcrowding is a problem, release someone who has served 75% or better of their time. Another great reason to NOT live in Californication.

Better yet, Lohan and Hilton need to bring their drunk asses to Louisiana and try that, we'll show them how it's supposed to work, and when "big Bertha" makes them her wife, they would think twice before they get locked up in Louisiana again.
