Troubled Hollywood starlet Lindsay Lohan has been released from jail after serving 13-days of a 90-day sentence. The actor was released at 1:35 am on Monday from the Lynwood Regional Detention Facility, but that did not end her legal saga as she had to head straight to a court ordered rehab facility, reported American website TMZ.
Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department spokesman Steve Whitmore announced that the 'Mean Girls' star has been released from jail following good behaviour and because of overcrowding at the facility. The 24-year-old was kept in a sequestered unit of the woman's prison since July 20, which has housed other celebrities like Paris Hilton and Michelle Rodriguez. She was jailed for violating probation on a 2007 conviction for driving under the influence.
TMZ reported that Lohan will now go to the UCLA Medical Centre for an intense specialised programme to deal with psychological as well as addiction problems.
