Kiefer Sutherland turned himself in to a Glendale, CA jail on Wednesday where he will begin serving out his 48-day sentence for DUI.
Jail spokesperson Officer Balian said of the actor, “Mr. Sutherland is very polite and humble. He was very cooperativealone in a cell, since he’ll be a long-term inmate.” during the booking process. He will be issued an orange jumpsuit, and will be housed
Sutherland will have to perform menial jobs just as the other inmates - including laundry and kitchen duty, serving breakfast, lunch and dinner. He’ll be free to roam around most of the time (rather than being locked in his cell) but Officer Balian says he will only be in direct contact with other inmates when serving meals.
The actor was sentenced in an L.A. courtroom earlier in the afternoon for the DUI arrest and for violating probation. The 24 star wore a black pinstripe suit and looked contrite before the judge, who spared him from the much harsher L.A. County facility. Asked if he had any comment, Sutherland smiled and shook his head as he walked away from the courtroom.
Kiefer was also sentenced to five years probation, an 18-month alcohol class and weekly therapy sessions for six months.
The L.A. City Attorney’s Office said in a statement, “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.”
