Actress Michelle Rodriguez began a 180-day jail term in an LA jail on Sunday, two days before Christmas. The former "Lost" star was sentenced by a judge in October for violating her probation on previous drunken-driving and hit-and-run offenses, and he clearly specified that she can not be granted work furlough, early release or home confinement.
The reason for the long sentence is that Rodriguez admitted failing to complete community service obligations.
She was also found to have consumed alcohol on at least three occasions while wearing a monitoring bracelet around her ankle, in violation of a probation requirement that she refrain from drinking for 90 days.
The actress must serve the full stretch in the overcrowded jail, where sentences for minor crimes are often cut short. In November, Lindsay Lohan served 84 minutes of a 1-day sentence, while Nicole Richie was released 80 minutes into her 4-day term in August.
