Michelle Rodriguez was released from jail past Wednesday night, last week, after serving just 18 days of her 180 days sentence.

The ABC’s TV series, Lost fame began serving at the Century Regional Detention Facility in Lynwood on December 23, 2007. She was released early under a program that deals with jail overcrowding. The program allows nonviolent female inmates to serve as little as 10 percent of their sentence.

The judge who sentenced Rodriguez ordered that she serve the entire sentence. The judge was consulted about the early release but the Sheriff’s Department had the final say when jail safety was involved.

“The sheriff supports, obviously, the desire to have inmates serve their full sentence,” but the county has only one women’s jail and it is “bursting at the seams,” Whitmore said.

Don’t Lynwood detention facility sound familiar to you? Thats the very same jail Paris Hilton, Nicole Richie and Lindsay Lohan all serve their sentence. Nicole and Lindsay both got an early release after serving for only 80 minutes and 84 minutes.

Coincidence? Why are all the celebrities checking into that very same jail? Theres a ‘90% discount’ lottery, who wouldn’t be there!
