Lindsay Lohan released from jail, now due in rehab.

Lindsay Lohan released from jail, now due in rehab.

Los Angeles sheriff's spokesman Steve Whitmore said actress was discharged at 1:35 a.m. Monday after serving 14 days of a 90-day sentence. She is now required to begin a three-month.

A judge in Beverly Hills, Calif., had ordered Lohan to report to rehab within a day of her release from jail, but shortened that time last week after conferring with Lohan's attorney and a prosecutor. Whitmore said Monday that the actress was required to report directly to rehab.
Lohan's abbreviated stay was not unexpected, although it was considerably longer than the 84 minutes she spent at the same facility in 2007. The judge said during Lohan's surrender on July 20 that she had no control over how long the actress would be jailed, but did require her to serve her time a women's jail operated by the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department.
Inmates such as Lohan who are serving time for nonviolent offenses typically have their stays reduced due to overcrowding and credits for good behavior.
