Lindsay Lohan

Lindsay Lohan sobs, sends middle finger message - USATODAY.com: "Lindsay Lohan sobbed as she was sentenced to 90 days in jail and 90 days in rehab yesterday in a Beverly Hills courtroom.

'I did everything I was told to do, I thought I was being compliant,' Lohan, 24, said, stopping to cry, as she tried to explain why she violated probation in a 2007 DUI case by missing weekly alcohol-education classes. 'I did do everything I was told to do. ... I'm not taking this as a joke, it's my life and career. I don't want you to think I don't respect you and your terms.' In the audience, her father Michael Lohan also wept, as did Lindsay's 16-year-old sister Ali.

But Lindsay's middle finger, in this close-up shot provided by AP, sends a different message."

Does she not realize that she has completely f'ed up her life already? Everyone knows she is into drugs and heavy alcohol abuse. She needs to grow up and take credit for her actions already. We all know that you were a big star when you were younger, but not so much anymore. Just because you were famous at one point in time does not mean that you will be able to get out of any trouble you are in. Look at Charley Sheen, He is making almost 2 million an episode for a hit tv show. He still went to jail for assaulting his wife.

Selling Drugs From Jail?

USA TODAY State corrections officials are linking networks of corrupt prison employees to thousands of illicit cellphones being smuggled to inmates in the nation's largest prison systems, according to the officials and public records.

The workers, including guards, cooks and clerical workers, represent the most troubling source of the prohibited phones in an increasingly lucrative smuggling operation that also includes criminal gangs and prisoners' family members, state officials say.

"It's only getting worse," says Texas prisons Inspector General John Moriarty.

Prison employees earn $500 or more for each of the phones, which have become ubiquitous from minimum security camps to death row, says Richard Subia, California's deputy director of adult prisons.

Subia says inmates use the phones to keep drugs flowing into the prisons, facilitate escapes and direct criminal activity on the outside.

The problem may be most acute in California, the nation's largest prison system, where there is no criminal law — only prison regulations — directly prohibiting the smuggling of cellphones to inmates.

Last year, 300 employees were disciplined for suspected cellphone trafficking to inmates; about 100 workers were dismissed. An additional 150 employees have been disciplined this year. In one 2009 case, Subia says, a guard confessed to earning $100,000 in kickbacks during one 12-month period.

Because there is no criminal law, the guard resigned and could not be forced to return the money, Subia says. Last year, California prison officials confiscated 6,995 phones, up from 2,800 in 2008.

Way cool guys!...NOT. So your telling me that there inmates are still running drugs around the country! That probably the reason why most of them are in there in the first place. Do the guards realize what they are doing when they pass cell phones around? I mean I guess being a prison guard doesn't pay well. I can see where $100,000 would come in handy for just handing out a few cell phones. But the people are getting caught aren't really getting in trouble. They should have to pay that to the state or maybe even spend some time in jail themselves. Its the principal of the thing!!

These inmates are probably in the best position possible. They are making money and still protected from the other dealers because they are in jail. 

All I know is there need to be a stop to this and it needs to be done NOW!!
