Kiefer Sutherland has begun his prison sentence for a drink-driving conviction after surrendering to Los Angeles police on Wednesday. Sutherland was scheduled to turn himself in on December 21st, but due to the writer’s strike and probably nothing much to do, he made the decision to check in earlier.

The “24″ actor will serve out a 48 day sentence at Glendale City Jail, which includes spending Christmas, New Year and his birthday (December 21st) behind jail walls, where he’s expected to perform laundry and kitchen duties alongside other inmates. 

Sutherland was sentenced to jail time after he was caught driving under the influence in September.  He was also handed 5 years probation and must complete an 18-month alcohol education program, which includes attending weekly therapy sessions for at least six months.
