Kiefer cooks and cleans in jail

KIEFER SUTHERLAND is receiving no special treatment as he serves a 48-day jail sentence for drink-driving - he's spending his days cooking for inmates and washing dirty sheets. The 24 actor checked into California's Glendale City Jail earlier this month (Dec07) and will spend his Christmas (07) and New Year (08) behind bars. According to the National Enquirer, the actor, who turns 41 on Friday (21Dec07), has been put to work in the laundry and kitchen, serving up food and cleaning the soiled sheets of homeless people. Jail spokesman Sergeant Tom Lorenz says, "We pick up street people, who then sleep on bunks in our jail. Kiefer Sutherland has to wash their bedding. "He needs to wear rubber gloves for the job, it's not a pretty sight. Because it's such a messy job, Sutherland is allowed to shower twice a day. "Then he prepares and serves meals to the prisoners." Sutherland was handed the sentence for drink-driving and violating probation in September (07). He is due for release in January (08).

God Bless him...Bless him please.

Oh bless his heart! I am thinking of him right now....
.... and what I would do if I got him alone in a room!

Thought I would share the news with everyone.

TMZ has exclusively learned that Kiefer Sutherland will not be released early -- he's gotta do his full 48 days. He checked in on Dec. 5.

According to officer John Balian of the Glendale PD, Kiefer's not gonna get the Michelle Rodriguez treatment. His release date is scheduled for January 21.

Kiefer is still behaving well, and is considered an A+ type of inmate. He does not complain about anything and is still on laundry duty. He was never assigned to kitchen stuff.

Sutherland has not received visitors throughout his stay in jail -- no one came during the holidays -- or his birthday, but he gets tons of mail from fans all over the world.
