LOHAN’S FATHER ‘PESSIMISTIC’ ABOUT JAIL TERM
LINDSAY LOHAN’s father feels "pessimistic" about her jail sentence - he’s convinced time behind bars will make his daughter’s personal problems wo rse.
The Mean Girls star was jailed for 90 days on Tuesday (20Jul10) for vio lating her parole relating to a 2007 DUI arrest.
She is expected to serve a fraction of her sentence before being releas ed to court-ordered rehab.
But Lohan’s dad Michael, who also spent time in prison, is adamant jail will not help his daughter because she could suffer emotional trauma fro m her experiences inside.
He tells TV host Larry King, "(I feel) pessimistic in the way that I th ink that there’s going to be some deeply rooted issues, some issues that are going to stem from being in prison, like there still are in my life, Larry. There’s things I shoved deep down inside that’s reared their ugly head sometimes, too. You have to swallow a lot when you’re in there." And Michael fears the actress, whose prescription pill regime was revea led in her probation report, won’t be able to kick her addictions because will still have access to drugs while behind bars.
Asked by King whether his daughter will have access to prescription dru gs in jail, he replied, "Yes, sir." His attorney, Lisa Bloom, adds, "She gets them on limited quantities. S o, that’s an improvement."
