Lindsay Lohan Cried as She Arrived at Jail; Inmates Cheered Her On Credit: LASD

As expected, Lindsay Lohan's first day behind bars wasn't easy on the 24-year-old actress.

When she arrived at the Century Regional Detention Facility in Lynwood, Calif., Tuesday morning, she "was crying," Tiffany Hawes tells Britain's Daily Mail.

Hawes was being released after serving 35 days of a 180-day sentence for driving on a suspended license.

She recalls seeing Lohan "handcuffed" but notes that the actress was "calm."

"We all started saying 'God bless you, Lindsay' and saying 'Hi' to her and then she smiled at us," says Hawes.

Says Brenda Armstrong (who also was being released after serving 20 days of a 120-day sentence): "We all cheered when we saw her and said we loved her."

Lohan "was nice and smiled but she'd definitely been crying," adds Jen Devey, 21, who also was being released after serving 45 days.

After she was strip-searched, the actress changed out of her black leather jacket and jeans and slipped into an orange prison jumpsuit.

She was booked and then taken to her 12-by-8 cell, located next to E! reality star Alexis Neiers, who is doing time for felony residential burglary of actor Orlando Bloom's home.

Lohan will live in isolation 23 hours a day in her cell for the next two weeks for violating probation in her DUI case. (She was originally sentenced to 90 days in the slammer.)

She has also been ordered to spend three months at an inpatient rehab.

    Wahwah, in your dreams. Shew was in a private cell. The one hour she was out everyone else was on lockdown. No one could have even coughed on her. Your neighborhood is more dangerous than the jail she was in. Lol. You've seen too many prison movies. No one was going to mess with her.

    35 days served instead of 180, 20 days served instead of 120, and 14 days to serve instead of 90. That's good to know. I guess if I'm ever possessed to commit a crime, I'll be sure to do it in Hollywood where I'll only be required to serve 1/10th or less of my sentence. Absolutely pitiful!

    Overcrowding my ass. She should have to serve the time she was given. Come on, she did a crime, so pay the time. Everyone else should too. This is why crime is so rampant now, b/c you can get away with it, or if you get caught you can do "2 weeks" in the slammer. Complete bulls*it!

  • July 22, 2010 - 2:12am WHORES !

    IT'S A LITTLE TO LATE TO BE CRYING LIKE A LITTLE B.I.T.C.H SHOULD'VE THOUGHT OF THAT BEFORE DOING THAT STUPID ASS S.H.I.T YOU GOT IT GOOD 14 DAYS IN JAIL ISN'T S.H.I.T IT COULD BE WAY WORSE !

    I have a good feeling that this will straighten her out. She's a strong girl and I think she sincerely wants to change and get her career back on track. I wish nothing but the best for her.

    Now that's what I called a "wake-up call".

  • July 21, 2010 - 2:49pm Sora

    Why did the inmates support her like that? What is wrong with them? Why weren't they cheering that she was behind bars at last??? That people can think this girl a brave martyr when she endangered lives with her intentional recklessness is beyond crazy.

    Good! I'm glad this is happening to her. We all know if there was one of us regular citizens, we would not get this kind of special treatment and would have to several 100% of the time. She should have to as well... she is not someone special and she broke the law. She deserves this.

    I am so sick of this girl. They should of giving her 90 days! I hate that they lowered because of "overcrowded" jail cells. who care stuff her in there with the rest of the deliquents! ahahaha

    How do young people look up to this piece of scum. No wonder our society is in the gutter and young people cannot read or spell.

  • July 21, 2010 - 12:32pm Jen

    Lucy @ 11:36 - you are so right. I totally forgot about that. haha!

  • July 21, 2010 - 12:30pm Karen

    I think she should be ashamed with the way she has acted over the last year or so, She is a disgrace to the younger girls who look up to people like her. I am glad that she is FINALLY getting some punishment for her actions, this is long over due!! 2 weeks is hardly long enough, I thought she had gotten sentenced to 90 days, which in my opinion is not even long enough, but what are you going to do, that is usually how the rich and famous get punished!! Sad situation if you ask me

    This girl deserves to go to jail!! She needs to straightened out or else--caput! But knowing HOLLYWOOD!? They always cheering fo the bad boys and gals--whose ways are so crooked. Hollywood is one of Satan's place to tell you the truth.

  • July 21, 2010 - 12:23pm tina

    I hope this serves a lesson to her and she does a complete 180 bc this is a dangerous way to live and she won't live long if she continues. She is very talented and smart and needs to get out of the toxic environment that has been created for her by bad friends and bad family. Good Luck Lindsay...

  • July 21, 2010 - 12:11pm anonymous

    I wonder how many hours she spent in front of the mirror practicing THIS mugshot pose!!! Give me a break. She needs to leave Hollywood and divorce those people called her parents, then she might have a shot at life.

  • July 21, 2010 - 12:09pm Lizzy

    GOOD, I am glad she was crying. She doesn't deserve this much attention. How anyone can cheer her on is beyond comprehension. I hope she ends up staying longer in "Club Jail"

  • July 21, 2010 - 12:05pm KB

    She looks Awesome.

  • July 21, 2010 - 12:02pm irene

    she definitely deserves that the worst part is because she is famous they are letting her slide a little bit. I dont think jail will do her any good but lets see i might be wrong.

  • July 21, 2010 - 11:58am M

    So she was calm or she was crying? Which is it? Who wouldn't cry while on their way to jail. I sure would. Why is this news? Let the girl serve her time in peace!
