Kiefer Sutherland Goes to Jail


It's going to be a sucky Christmas for Kiefer Sutherland, as the actor surrendered to jail yesterday. Kiefer was sentenced to 48 days in the slammer, for his September DUI arrest and for violating probation.

"Mr. Sutherland is very polite and humble. He was very cooperative during the booking process," said a jail spokesman. "He will be issued an orange jumpsuit, and will be housed alone in a cell, since he'll be a long-term inmate."

The 24 star will likely serve the entire sentence, which is rare for the Hollywood folk. "Sutherland will be serving the 48 days in the Glendale City Jail, with no early release and no good time/work time credit, so we expect that he will serve the entire 48 days in jail," said a statement from the L.A. City Attorney's office.

His new digs will consist of an 8 by 10 cell with a toilet, sink and water fountain. He will receive three meals a day (two hot, one cold) and will be allowed visitors between 1 p.m. and 4 p.m. for 15 minutes each. No more than two visits per day are allowed. He will be assigned to laundry and kitchen duty, serving breakfast, lunch and dinner to the other inmates, and as inmate worker he'll be allowed to roam the jail most of the day, as opposed to being confined to his cell.

It shouldn't be too bad for Kiefer, he can probably just pretend he's shooting a movie. For 48 days. With no breaks. And no cushy trailer. A low budget movie!!

He is a cuttie. I saw his profile on millionaire dating site WealthyRomance.com last week. Is he single now? Just curious.

I'm glad he's not throwing a fit about this, he's had 4 of them right? Pay your dues Kiefer and then come out a better person.

colimai said:

I was so sad when i read the new.He is my star.wish him all the best.

Pussycat said:

I hope its a humbling experience for him and to seek help also. All the best Keifer.

Liz said:

Its nice to hear that he is setting an example of how a "Star" should handle himself in this situation.Not like all these other drama "starlets'. Keifer is a class act! In real life he is a down to earth nice guy. Hope time flies for him while he is serving his sentence. Good luck to you, Keifer!

you suck said:

go to hell ad whore jesse petal your wears elswhere, last week last week i thought we were free of you please delete i could scroll past these people but i finally just got sick of them. On to topic.... Before anyone complains how he has to spend so much time and aris and Lindsay didn't he's had something like 4 or more dui's the dude is getting off light. He clearly knows he has a problem and cjhoses to ignore it. i hope he cleans up he seems like an alright guy and it would be a shame for him to kill himself or someone else. He has not been aroggant which is part of getting good treatment by thew courts. The stars seemed to have learned that after Paris acted to good for the system and got slammed

maggietalk said:

It's funny how he is serving for his dui and Lindsay had a dui and cocaine and never served a day she went to hide in a rehab clinic, and how Britney drove with no license had her baby in no car seat, and drove past a stop sign, and several red lights but she never served time? That must be the american way!!

huh? said:

petal your wears?

what the fuck does THAT mean?

pretty sure you meant to write "peddel your wares".....jackass

People who can't spell drive other people (WHO CAN) Crazy! said:

Hey you suck...(and Others)
Do you Ever read your comments...
>>> Before you push the Post button<<<
ALOT of people who write here...
Can NOT even Spell CORRECTLY!!!!!!!!!!

INVEST IN A DICTIONARY !

Therese de Lene said:

Bad things sometimes happen to good people and it is unavoidable. What is important - he accepted his responsibility. I salute him and may this humbling experience makes him a much more better person.
Peace be with you Keifer not only this holiday season but always.

Grammar Police said:

"A lot" is actually two words, to the person who was griping about how people need to invest in dictionaries.

And it's "peddle your wares", not "petal" or "peddel". Close, but no cigar.

spell check, please! said:

I'd have to agree that you need to check what you've written BEFORE you post it. It does look a 12 yr old wrote the one from "you suck". It's a little ridiculous that "you suck" has to resort to personal attacks here as well.

Isabel said:

*LOLOLOL* Welcome Grammar Police! You have been needed desperately on this blog for months! I especially got a hoot our of 'peddal our wares'.
As for Kiefer, he is a doll and a class act. He has a problem, and he needs to tackle it head on with the same 'take no prisoners' attitude that 'Jack Bauer' would. I wish him well and hope that the time passes quickly and he can soon be on the road to recovery.
And YES,...I also feel like the book got thrown at Kiefer (as it should have after multiple violations), but why did those nitwit females get off so easy?!?!?

At laest he took it like a man! Not like the 3 As****e skinny no tit broads did!

sorryfirya said:

I would like to knowas well why certain people only have to do 20 minutes, 80 minutes, even when they have 2 dui's and a hit and run involved? Good Luck Keifer, it's just too bad you were not a girl.

qui135 said:

He's been out of control for a long time, he needs this punitive action. Cute or not talented as all get out. Slow down

dr said:

I feel bad for Kiefer but you reap what you sow. History will tell you that unless he gets the right treatment after his release he won't beat his addiction, only postponing the inevidible,kind of like bloggers who think to quick, get mad and misspell half their words, it makes them sound totally silly.

On patrol said:

dr, I love ya, but you are probably one of the worst ones on here for spelling errors. And to the person who said to invest in a dictionary: You could use some help with determining when to use a question mark. Just saying.

Kiefer is a class act all the way. Yes, he made a mistake, and maybe this will be a wake-up call for him, but he's conducting himself like an adult, not a spoiled little rich hollywood brat! He is still the best actor on tv, and next to my hubby, the 2nd sexiest man alive!

Meow ya'll...loove a gud kat fite!

katywon said:

I hope Kiefer learns from this. In reality the normal person with 4 DUI's on his record would spend much more than 48 days in jail. Luckily for celebs, Los Angeles has a system where you can go to a smaller jail in Culver City, Glendale etc. and pay for your own confinement. Guess thats what he is doing. Lets hope a diversion program goes along with the lenient treatment. I like him but he needs to join the abstaining group..Hail to "24"

marie said:

I don't feel bad for him. 4 DUI's!!! Of course he should do time. I don't know about being classy. A friend of mine saw him in a bar in Toronto and he was so drunk he pulled his pants down and sat with his buddies drinking.

kim said:

My God! Isabel, check out your mistakes! HA HA ROTFL @ most of these blah blah blah's!!!!!!!!!!!!! Funny as hell! Thanks for the laughs ;-)

Mandy said:

...oh yeah, good luck Kief, try not to get caught anymore K? Hire a driver next time or stop drinking and driving.
Happy Holidays everyone.

daniela said:

well that sucks for him, i hope he'll be ok.

adc said:

I'll be his cold meal anyday

wasting time said:

So what some people can spell better than others,,

That doesnt make them better people,

As for Keifer, do the crime,,enjoy the time,,

What i dont understand,,,if you have a celebrity vagina (oops can i use that word) then you only get to serve a few hours,,,maybe keifer should have done the judge then he too would have got a ridiculous sentance,,

Hey just my opinion :)

Ps,,If ive made any typo's ,,,who cares,,bite me :)

April said:

From what I hear from people in LA who see him out and about, Keifer is always the drunkest one in the bar.

My guess is that maybe he realizes he has issues, and didnt hire some high priced attorney to get him off for 84 minutes served like the other recent jailmates did.

Maybe he wants to spend time doing time, bc he knows he deserves it and just bc he is a celeb, he does not feel he is above the law.

Maybe also he will use this time for some real time research for Jack Bauer.

Or maybe, Jack Bauer will break out of prison as he nothing ever seems to touch him.

Bekah said:

Im on wealthy Millonaire and I havent seen him on there before. anyways he is a very gifted actor and wish ll the best for him. maybe he will see the light someday but for all poeple, they will change when they are ready never before. good luck Keiffer.

Kelli said:

I am so sad to hear what has happened to Keifer Sutherland. I am a HUGE fan to say the least. Have seen EVERY single movie he has ever made even the low budget ones that were not in theaters. I am a die hard 24 fan and have never missed an episode, also have every season on dvd. Keifer to me, is that "one actor/actress" that you wish you could meet. As a recent inmate myself I am sure this experience will have great effect on his life and outlook!

You are not your Dad, you have a special quality about you that exudes your amazing personality. Totally different from your fathers style.
You have come into your own on your own.
I find that very appealing. Keep up what you think is great, and you will stay just as great and become greater.
How that is I cannot imagine, as I think that you are great to start with.'
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.!!
Enjoy what you have and share whatever it is that you want to share. Just take care of you and yours.
I am not your friend, wish I was but......
Yours sincerly
Patricia Piette

Leigh said:

Guess you have to be a hollywood slut in order to get out of serving your whole sentence time. What a joke!

elizabeth said:

i've kept an eye on this actor hes come along way since he first began and people are not perfect its one day at a time and some time we fall just hope hes still getting up and moving foward hang in there it will be ok

jenny said:

i wish him all the best cos some peolpe would like to be in his shoes. some don't get one meal a day both in jail and in the outside but he has three meals a day.all the same keep the energy you have and keep moving forward till you get to your limit. take care kiefer

I am really shock and upset that he himself delivered to jail since 48hrs,he no way wrong man actually he is one of the man with innocent and honest and loose no time at all in wrong way because he is an good actor and smart and can't do any kind of bad things.

Charbalos said:

Keifer is human afterall,he made a mistake and was cool about his reparation.of all brahoola about America,her judicial standard its what i love most.

WTF said:

Really i think if he violated his porale with a DUI he shouled get a longer sentence. For 2 reasons: 1- he is like so old and he should know by now that drinking and driving don't mix and that he could've hurt someone and 2- he sucks so he should get a longer sentence then that.

I agree that he deserves to do the time for the crime he committed and it appears he does, too. Hopefully he will learn and be a better person. What I don't understand is why, with all the money these stars make they can't have a driver on call at all times? And I agree that the female celebs seem to be getting lighter sentences for serious offenses. Money talks in this case! Keifer will be back and even better.
