Lindsay Lohan is Cooperating, Not Crying in Jail, Says Report

LOS ANGELES (CBS) Lindsay Lohan's first night in jail was a far cry from the accommodations she has grown accustomed to - what with being a celebrity and all - but, surprisingly, reports reveal that the troubled actress is doing remarkably well behind bars.

She hasn't cried once.

Lohan began her 90-day jail sentence Tuesday at the same facility where Paris Hilton reportedly bawled her eyes out during her 2007 jail stint for violating probation stemming from a DUI charge.

Lohan, in contrast, has been getting rave reviews, reports The Los Angeles Times.

"She was cooperative, compliant and a mature person facing the realities of incarceration," L.A. County Sheriff's Department spokesman Steve Whitmore said Wednesday.

Lohan is scheduled to serve only 13 days of her 3-month sentence, due to jail overcrowding, Whitmore told the L.A. Times

Like other inmates, Lohan has been allowed to continue to take her prescription medications, says the newspaper, and is tolerating the jailhouse menu of turkey tetrazzini, noodle casserole, and bologna sandwiches. Who could complain about that?

Maybe the new setting will inspire Lohan to make up with "bling ring" member Alexis Neiers who is serving time in the same facility and has been accused of breaking into Lohan's home?

Maybe not.

Crying? Why should she be crying? All the way to the bank, maybe. Word is she's already shopping her post-jail interview and could get as much as half a mil. Probably more than any of her movies have made her!

And when you consider that it took multiple offenses and a violation of her probation (probation that a normal person wouldn't have gotten to start with) for it to even come to this, and that she won't even have to serve out her *very* light sentence anyway, this is the best career move she's made in years.

So no, probably no tears, aside from the odd tantrum now and then or the rehearsed ones if there's a camera within a quarter mile.

my 18 year old grandson was found with his prescription drug but he had too many of them - wrong - of course - but his sentence (1st offender) 3 years in jail! No such luck that his jail is overcrowed and letters to everybody in the State of Florida got no results - she is a habitual offender and famous - I just hope when he gets out he is not "warped" from where he has been - for her I hope she has to stay longer then 13 days

The reason she is cooperating and not crying is because she is probably well medicated.
