Sutherland opts for Christmas behind bars

KIEFER SUTHERLAND has chosen to spend Christmas behind bars doing the laundry and preparing food for fellow inmates after he was jailed for drink driving.

The star of the real-time drama 24 began a 48-day sentence in a Los Angeles jail after his second arrest for drink driving in three years.

The 40-year-old chose to start his sentence immediately after he was sentenced, even though he could have waited until February.
