Lindsay Lohan Begins Serving Her Community Service Sentence

Lindsay Lohan Begins Serving Her Community Service Sentence

A few weeks ago we learned that Lindsay Lohan was sentenced to 120 days in jail and 480 hours of community service for violating the terms of her probation and while she is appealing the jail portion of her sentence, she seems anxious to get started on serving the community service portion of her sentence. The judge ruled that 320 of the 480 hours of community service MUST be served at the Downtown Women’s Center here in LA, CA. Lindsay got the call late yesterday that she could come in for orientation … and, surprisingly, she quickly got her buns downtown to start the process of serving out her community service hours.

Lindsay Lohan got a call late this afternoon from the Downtown Women’s Center — the place she’ll be doing her community service — telling her there was an open spot for orientation at 5 PM … and Lindsay took them up on it. Sources tell us Lindsay was downtown and just completed her orientation. She has not started the community service, but that will happen this week.

At least on the surface, it looks like Lindsay is serious about serving out her hours. My guess is that she may be hoping that the judge will be softened by her zeal to complete her community service hours and may lesson the time she must serve behind bars in jail. I highly doubt any such thing will happen but even if the full 120 day jail sentence is enforced, we all know she won’t really have to sit in jail for that long. But, I am happy to see that she appears to be taking this part of her sentence (at least) very seriously. The Downtown Women’s Center offers aid to homeless and low income women and provides a very important service for the needy. It’s not totally clear what kind of work Lindsay will be doing for the center but any help is welcomed by the center, I’m sure. I’ve said it before but it *is* possible that L. Lo is *finally* ready to clean up her act and get her life in order. Maybe she’ll learn a thing or two from the less fortunate people she’ll be serving at the Downtown Women’s Center. It’s never too late to turn one’s life around … hopefully this is the beginning of a whole new Lindsay?
