Lindsay Lohan’s Latest Troubles
The troubled star’s most recent probation violations threatened to send her back to jail, but she only served four hours of a 30-day sentence. Is this helping?
Not that she’s completely out of hot water. The troubled actress must still work at least 12 days a month at the county morgue until she completes the 53 remaining days on her court-ordered community service, Judge Stephanie Sautner told her. Lohan must also attend 18 psychotherapy sessions.
This most recent trip to jail has many wondering if the system is really doing anything to deter actresses like Lohan from reoffending. Despite her community service requirements, the young star is free to work and even to party (rumor has it she stopped by a Leonardo DiCaprio fete on her way to jail last weekend). Next up is an appearance in the January/February 2012 issue of Playboy.
It’s a problem addiction experts have long been aware of. The courts and jails do little to address underlying addiction issues in offenders. It’s often all they can do to keep up with caseloads and oversee sentences. Even when treatment is a condition of release, there’s no guarantee. If an individual isn’t ready to get clean, they can’t be forced to do it. Recovery from drug addiction or alcohol addiction are hard work and require a lifelong commitment to sobriety.
