Michelle Rodriguez checked herself into the Century Regional Detention Facility aKa “female celebrities jail” in Lynwood last Sunday.

Lynwood detention facility is the same facility where Paris Hilton, Nicole Richie and Lindsay Lohan served their sentence earlier this year.

The Lost actress was slammed with 180-day jail sentence after violating her probation which require her to complete community service and an alcohol education program.

Rodriguez’s lawyer submitted paperwork claiming that she completed a day of her community service, while Rodriguez was actually in New York. She was also found to have consumed alcohol on at least three occasions while wearing a monitoring bracelet around her ankle.

Michelle was sentenced to three years probation in 2004 after she pleaded no contest to misdemeanor DUI, hit and run and driving with a suspended license. The following year, Rodriguez received another DUI when she was caught speeding in Hawaii, while working on “Lost.”

In May 2006, she was sentenced to 60-day jail for violating her probation but was released after just four hours and 20 minutes due to overcrowding.

Los Angeles Superior Court Judge has ordered the 29-year-old actress to serve out her full sentence, with no option of work furlough, early release or home confinement.

Rodriguez is the second star to spent Christmas in jail after, Kiefer Sutherland, the star of TV series 24, began his 48-day jail term in another Los Angeles jail on December 5 for DUI.
