Kiefer Sutherland Completes DUI Jail Sentence

’24’ star spent 48 days in jail for drunk driving and probation violations.

Kiefer Sutherland left a Glendale, California jail after serving his entire 48-day sentence for a drinking and driving and probation violation. The 41-year actor was released minutes after midnight, early Monday morning.

Wearing a shirt and blue jeans, Sutherland appeared pleased that he was leaving the facility. He spent Christmas, New Year’s and his December 21st birthday behind bars. During his incarceration, Sutherland was reportedly a model prisoner, never asking for preferential treatment. He performed laundry duty and helped out in the kitchen.

Sutherland was charged with a DUI in California last October and sentenced to 30 days in jail. An additional 18 days were added for violating probation terms of a 2004 drunk driving conviction. He was allowed to serve his sentence in the suburban city jail rather than the Los Angeles county facility, in exchange for waiving the possibility of time off for good behavior or release due to overcrowding.

Sutherland remains on probation for five years. He must attend weekly therapy for six months and complete an 18-month alcohol awareness program.

Their has been so many celebrity DUI charges in the past year, but Kiefer seems to be the only celebrity that immediately took full responsibility of his actions and took his punishment.
