"Time to go to Jail"

Ok so we all know that Lindsay Lohan is FINALLY going to jail after several years of screw ups and DUI's. Personally I think she should've been in jail a long time ago. If she was a regular person, she would've been there after the first offense. Lohan has been involved with the law for many years; her first offense took place when she had a really bad break-up with now ex-boyfriend and restaurant owner Harry Morton. She had various parties and drinking binges and while on the set of Georgia Rule she was noted to have been late several times and complained about exhaustion and frequent headaches. She made up excuses but the directors and fellow cast members knew what her nights, weekends, and off-time consisted of; heavy drinking and parties. She couldn't hide that from her cast members, nor could she hide from the law. In 2007 she under-went appendix surgery during the filming of "I Know Who Killed Me" and then admitted herself in Alcoholics Anonymous meetings and rehabilitation clinic as well to get her drinking under control. Unfortunately, none of the rehabilitation treatments have lasted or stuck with Lohan and she has further ruined her life and furthermore her career.

Not only has the media and the entire world had enough of her irresponsible behavior but the law has also had enough as well. Lohan was due in for a court date recently in 2010 for her DUI charges. She was nowhere to be found and was not present for the hearing which led the judge with no other choice; he issued a warrant for Lohan's arrest. Due to issues of a passport being stolen after a trip she had recently returned from the judge decided to give her an alternative; again he had no other choice because Lohan, once again, figured out how to get out of getting arrested. Her lawyer and and representatives posted bail before she was arrested which bought her some time before a new trial was issued. She attended her new trial on May 24th 2010 and the verdict was decided; Lohan was assigned "to attend weekly alcohol education classes, wear an alcohol-monitoring bracelet, refrain from drinking alcohol, and undergo random weekly drug tests to remain free on bail." Later after her last hearing, she was to attend another trial on July 6th, 2010 which would check whether Lohan violated her requirements after bail. After a short trial, the judge had revealed that Lohan had indeed violated her requirements and was senteced to 90 days in jail and following her release from jail was to check into an inpatient rehab program for three months then regularly see a probation officer.

Lohan's entire career has consisted of being in the lime light of the media and she has done nothing but ruin her career. Lohan is a very talented young actress but she is really ruining her life by making these very irresponsible decisions with her life. During her trial, Lohan's attorney states that he believes she is suffering from disease that is supposedly "altering her brain activity and making her do things that she knows are wrong." Well sir, I beg to differ. There are no excuses for her troubling past nor is there any disease that she's suffering from unless it's perhaps called, stupidity? Lindsay is NOT suffering from a disease nor is her mind being altered by anything other than drugs and alcohol which is why she deserves to be in jail and be in a rehabilitation center for her so-called 'disease.'

She is now 24 years old and she has a long life ahead of her to live. She really needs to start making her life a little easier and stop traveling down the wrong road. At some point you would think that people see a time to change or when they should make a change, but Lindsay doesn't seem to be looking to do that any time soon. Maybe these 90 days in jail will teach her that you only get so many chances and that some changes need to go into affect real quick. So Lindsay, is this how you want to be remembered?
