Lindsay Lohan ‘could get out of jail this week’

Actress Lindsay Lohan, who has served less than a week of her 90-day prison sentence, could walk free from her isolation cell at Los Angeles in a matter of days after her lawyer convinced a judge that she is owed a two-day 'credit' for time already spent in custody.
 
Lohan was never expected to see out her full 90-day sentence due to overcrowding, but it now seems that her sentence will be even shorter than the 23-25 days expected. The actress should easily be able to attend the August premiere of her latest film Machete, which opens in the US on September 3.
 
According to the Hollywood website RadarOnline, a judge has agreed a deal with Lohan's attorney Shawn Chapman Holley - who now appears to be representing the 24-year-old actress again after her new lawyer Robert Shapiro quit - to slash two days off her sentence.

Chapman Holley argued that Lohan had already served that time in the run-up to being incarcerated last Tuesday for missing seven alcohol education lessons.
 
Other observers say Lohan may be a free woman as early as today. This is because a state-run programme that rewards inmates for good behaviour could shave yet more time off the sentence, a spokesman for the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department told CBS News.
 
Meanwhile, one downside - arguably - of the early release policy at the Lynwood correctional facility is that Lohan has been robbed of the chance to come face to face with the teenager who burgled her Hollywood Hills mansion in 2009.
 
In a bizarre twist, Lohan had been put in the cell next to Alexis Neiers, a reality TV star who was convicted for her part in the celebrity 'Bling Ring' burglary group. But Neiers, 19, was released last week after serving just 30 days of a six-month sentence.
 
The Bling Ring burglars - also dubbed the 'Burglar Bunch' - targeted the homes of actors Orlando Bloom and Rachel Bilson, as well as Paris Hilton, another former Lynwood inmate. Neiers was the star of E!'s Pretty Wild series before her arrest last summer. ·
