Lindsay Lohan was released from a Los Angeles County jail earlier this morning after serving just 4.5 hours of her 30 sentence, for once again violating her probation.

The actress, and Tabloid favourite was booked into the Century Regional Detention Facility at 8.50 the Sunday evening, and was walking free and back in her Venice home by  before 2am. It is understood the very early release was down to Los Angeles’ serious overcrowding problem within their jails.  This isn’t the first time Lohan has been given a jail term, in fact, she has been given 5 separate jail sentences since 2007, one of which she only served 84 minutes.
