Lindsay Lohan Surrenders to Begin Serving Sentence

By Jeralyn

Lindsay Lohan surrendered at the Beverly Hills courthouse today to begin serving her 90 day jail sentence for probation violations. She was accompanied by her original lawyer, Shawn Chapman Holley. Her parents were there as well.

A clearly upset LiLo sat and listened as Judge Revel ordered Lindsay's surrender. But before Lindsay was cuffed and taken away, the judge ordered all cameras to stop rolling.

Judge Revel made it clear -- no house arrest, and no early release. But that doesn't mean Lindsay will have to serve the full 90 days. The Sheriff's Department will use the 90 days to compute the actual time Lindsay will have to serve, and because of overcrowding, she will only serve 25% ... 23 days. Lindsay didn't cry. When she was cuffed she was stoic.

As to Robert Shapiro:

Sources tell us Lindsay is furious at Shapiro, feeling as if he totally used her to get publicity for his sober living house. She believes that is the only reason he agreed to rep her and sold her a bill of goods.

She'll be transferred to the Century Regional Detention Facility in Lynwood, CA, where Paris Hilton served her sentence.

If you'd like to write to her, the address is: Lindsay Lohan, #2409752, 11705 S. Alameda St., Lynwood, Ca. 90262. Here's what you can send.

Our prior coverage of her case is available here.
