Michael Lohan: Lindsay Shouldn't Go to Jail Today

Lindsay Lohan returns to court today -- but her estranged father Michael hopes that a judge doesn't throw her behind bars.
The actress, who turned 24 Friday, faces a probation violation hearing in connection to her three-year drug and alcohol case. If a fed-up judge determines that she hasn't fully complied with her probation terms, she will be taken into custody immediately.

"I'll be there to support Lindsay," Michael tells the New York Daily News. "And if the judge wants to give her jail time, I'll say that's not what she needs. Recidivism is so high when someone with a drug problem goes to jail."
Michael has long maintained that his daughter is addicted to prescription drugs. In the Daily News interview, he even says that as long as prescription drugs are "in the mix, she'll never be 100 percent and have her career back. She can get off them with proper treatment, not jail."

The actress strongly denies being addicted to prescription drugs.
Over the Fourth of July weekend, her mother Dina told UsMagazine.com: "All is great."

Some make the Lohans go away. Put in her jail!!! She violated her probation and she lied to the judge's face. Any one of us would already be in jail. The judge should have thrown her butt in jail the time she appeared before her.
OMG...take them ALL away...far, far away! They all need help...my GOD!
JAIL IS WRONG! Leave this Girl alone. Remember when you were this age. Just because you didn't get caught doing it gives you the right to throw stones. Jail should not have been a punishment this is absolutely crazy. To all you haters keep on hating because that is all you know and to Lindsay stay strong you are better than this you always have been and always will be! You are Blessed!
she should be put in jail she is no different from anybody else
Michael, stop defending Lindsay. She's not a child anymore. She's an adult and has to take responsibility for her own actions.
This must have been a great day for Michael Blohan. He got soooo much attention and he even got to cry for the cameras. What a loser.
I would get a restraining order. She is an adult, he is nothing but a bottom feeder - she isn't much more, BUT she is a 24 yr old adult.
No comment!
Actually for once I believe Lindsay when she says she is not addicted to prescription drugs. I do believe however that she IS addicted to everything else.
And this is a prime example of whats wrong in this world today. Just keep protecting those who should be punished.
Not one member of the Lohan "family" (if you want to call it that) has done anything to warrant the kind of special treatment they get. I actually take it as a good sign that the younger sister hasn't been heard from for a while. Either she wised up and realized that she has even less talent than her big sister or she's in rehab somewhere. Throw all of them all in jail for being arrogant, annoying, enabling and a burden to society. If not that, then sentence them to live in obscurity away from the limelight because they've already gone way past their 15 minutes.
Maybe some jail time would set Lindsay straight.
he is one of the worst fathers he prob drugs her he is the drug addict
Oh go ahead and put this stupid azz girl in jail already! She's done more than enough to belong there.
Jail is what she needs to knock some sense into her and scare her straight. But this is LA. First, the judges are too starstruck and wussy to put anyone in jail. Second, "jail" in that town consists of a 90-minute sentence - long enough to miss a tanning appointment and too short to learn a lesson. And third, she would be put in a special section and catered to like the spoiled brat she is, just like Paris was when she was "incarcerated". What a joke LA is - no wonder everyone moves there to get famous, you can literally get away with murder there.
Put her A$$ in jail! She needs a wake up call.
