Lindsay Lohan spent less than five-hours in jail Sunday night through Monday morning. Jail officials admitted beforehand she’d be out so quickly there’d be no time to change her clothes. She wasn’t even there long enough to eat anything. Moreover, the only reason she spent hours and not minutes in jail is a slight booking backlog. TMZ.com reports that Lohan found jail ‘scary’ and ‘cold.’ She was in isolation the whole time, away from the shank-happy/ broom handle-happy (thanks, Edward) general population. Lohan is telling friends her 282 minutes in jail were a wake up call to shake her from her cracked-out recidivism. Speaking of which, Lohan’s lawbreaking is costing Los Angeles tax payers millions. Former federal prosecutor Michael Wildes told Fox News: ‘From logistics to the transcript reporters to the clerks, it is exorbitantly expensive to have a court appearance. t costs tens of thousands of dollars per court appearance [in court].’ Attorney Vikki Ziegler adds: ‘It has likely cost taxpayers millions of dollars. This has been a four-year ordeal that taxpayers in California must foot.’

Lindsay Lohan was booked into Century Regional Detention Facility in Lynwood, CA Sunday at 8:48 p.m. PST. As reported earlier, this was the waste of taxpayer money recidivist theater where Lohan would literally be in the facility long enough to be booked before her release. This is the sentence Lohan chose for herself, that included weeks of therapy and community service at the morgue. If Lohan fails to meet those court-ordered requirements, there’s another 270 hours of stayed jail time on the table. Lohan checked in last night… and she’s already out. She was released at approximately 1:30 a.m. this morning. Four hours and change later. That’s tantamount to a 30-day jail term. Ugh, BS legal system.

That was a big ball of nothing that amounted to Lindsay Lohan picking her sentence, getting paltry jail time, and surrendering at her pleasure in the next week so she has time to fulfil the remainder of her contractually-obliged Playboy work. TMZ.com notes Lohan didn’t have to surrender immediately because lawyer Shawn Chapman Holley asked for time to fulfill her contract with Playboy. Add to that, the L.A. County Sheriff’s Department just p**sed in my Cornflakes by pointing out a 30-day term means 6 days served… of which Lohan will serve minutes. As is the norm in this cases, ‘If someone receives a misdemeanor sentence of 90 days or less, they are routinely processed in and then released.’ Adds an official, ‘She’ll be out without even having to change her clothes.’

Last week, Lindsay Lohan’s crack-pupils darted frantically around a Los Angeles County Superior Court room where she was reprimanded and her probation revoked for crack-shenanigans in the first degree. Her lawyer tried to get the 25-year-old off on a series of technicalities but, luckily, Judge Stefanie Saunter wasn’t an excitable star-f**ker looking to get Lohan off in exchange for a signed Mean Girls DVD. The next day, she showed up 40-mins late to court-ordered community service only for her rep to lie about how late she was and the reason for her lateness. Then, doing better but still not knowing how to tell time, she was 85 minutes early the next day. The same week, her father alleged meth or crack use from smoking a pipe. And her mother reportedly wrote a negative tell-all about the actress and how her drug/ alcohol issues were everyone else’s fault (which she sort-of denied with an oddly-worded denial that really denied nothing).
