Washington,
(ANI):
Experts
are
assuming
that
Lindsay
Lohan,
who
has
been
sentenced
to
90
days
in
jail,
may
only
serve
about
a
week
or
less
in
jail
for
probation
violation.
Based
on
the
past
records
of
Nicole
Richie
and
Paris
Hilton,
experts
have
made
this
claim.
In
December
2006,
Richie,
who
was
sentenced
to
4
days
in
prison
for
driving
under
the
influence
of
drugs,
was
released
after
a
mere
82
minutes
in
the
big
house,
or
less
than
2
percent
of
her
sentence.
Similarly,
Hilton,
who
was
sentenced
to
45
days
in
jail
for
parole
violation
in
2007,
ended
up
spending
23
days,
or
about
30
percent
of
her
sentence
in
jail.
So
following
the
hearing,
Los
Angeles
Sheriff
spokesman
Steve
Whitmore
said
an
inmate
in
Lohan's
situation
(a
woman
sent
to
jail
for
nonviolent
crimes,
not
a
celebrity)
generally
serves
about
25
percent
of
their
sentence,
which
in
this
case
would
be
approximately
23
days.
"A
person
(of)
such
notoriety
will
be
kept
away
from
the
general
population," Whitmore
said
outside
the
courthouse.
But
Lindsay"s
time
behind
bars
could
be
significantly
less
than
that.
“Luckily
for
Lindsay,
she
could
get
significant
jail
time
shaved
off
the
judge's
sentence.
Depending
on
jail
overcrowding
conditions,
which
is
a
common
occurrence
in
Los
Angeles
County,
the
Department
of
Corrections
can
shave
anywhere
from
75
percent,
even
up
to
90
percent
off
her
90-day
sentence
for
a
non-violent
misdemeanor," Fox
news
quoted
Criminal
Defense
Attorney
Stacy
Schneider
as
saying.
"With
extra
jail
time
credits
also
applied,
I
am
betting
she
will
serve
about
a
week
or
less,"
Schneider
added.
