Inmates cheered and shouted 'We love you' as Lindsay Lohan arrived to serve her prison sentence today.

And if that didn't give her a lift as she put on her regulation orange prison jumpsuit and posed for her prison picture, then the revelation this afternoon that she will serve just 14 days of her 90-day jail term most certainly will.

The actress, 24, arrived in tears as she was driven into a private side entrance at the bleak Century Regional Detention Facility in Lynwood, California, just south of downtown Los Angeles.

Tiffany Hawes, who was being released after serving 35 days of a 180 day sentence for driving on a suspended licence, said: 'Lindsay was crying when she came in. She was handcuffed but seemed calm. We all started saying "God bless you Lindsay" and saying "Hi" to her and then she smiled at us.'

Brenda Armstrong, 50, also being released after serving 20 days of a 120-day sentence, said: 'We all cheered when we saw her and said we loved her.'

Jen Devey, 21, also being released after served 45 days, said: 'We saw her. She was nice and smiled but she'd definitely been crying. She's human, just like all of us , but she happens to be a celebrity with lots of money. But she's still a person and she f***** up,'

The jail went into lockdown mode for an hour when the actress arrived, with prisoners confined to their cells. She was strip-searched and 'cavity searched' before changing into an orange prison jumpsuit.

She then posed for her prison mugshot, appearing to pout and possibly smirk for the camera. Her booking sheet at the prison says she weighed 8st 6lb and is 5ft 6in tall. It also says she has blonde hair but, strangely, says she has black eyes.

After having a photo taken, she was led to her cell, which is next to Alexis Neiers, who convicted as part of the Bling Ring burglaries and is serving time for burglary at Orlando Bloom's house.

They are being housed in the 2,200-bed facility's special needs unit, where Lohan will live in isolation for her own safety and be confined to her cell 23 hours a day.

The actress spent about 84 minutes there in 2007 for a drunken driving offense, reduced from her already trimmed day-long sentence because of the overpopulation issue.

Tonight a sheriff's deputy confirmed that she'll be eating spaghetti with meat sauce and broccoli.

But the good news for her is that a spokesman for the Los Angeles Sheriff's department said she would only serve 14 days at the jail if she behaved herself.

Lohan had arrived at jail after a court appearance that lasted under 10 minutes. .

She was due there at 8.30am but didn't arrive until 8.37am after getting stuck in the Los Angeles traffic. As she rushed inside from her black SUV with her mother Dina, an onlooker threw gold confetti over the actress.

Lohan was immaculately turned out with her hair bleached platinum blonde and wearing designer skinny-legging style jeans, a crop top and peep-toe slouchy boots.

Observers in court were left to wonder if she'd had a new trout pout for the occasion. The actress certainly spent a lot of time licking her lips and playing with her mouth.

Lohan arrived inside the courtroom at 8.40am and appeared close to tears as she sat and listened as Judge Marsha Revel ordered her to jail.

But there were none of the tears that were witnessed two weeks ago as the Superior Court judge handed down the 90-day jail term and blasted her for not taking her probation in two drink-driving cases seriously.

Lohan was handcuffed out of the view of the cameras just eight minutes after entering the court room.

The actress removed her black jacket revealing a grey sleeveless top with an open diamond in the back and no bra.

She calmly put her hands behind her back and was cuffed by a female sheriff's deputy and then led out through judges' chambers.

Her father Michael was sitting in the centre section of the court and yelled 'We love you
Lindsay'. Lohan did not turn around, did not look back and completely ignored her father.

Her mother Dina and sister Ali sat on the far right hand side of the courtroom and kept blank faces. They did not speak to anyone afterwards.

Lohan was put in a police car immediately and driven to jail.

Thanks to jail overcrowding and a state program that credits inmates for good behavior, non-violent female misdemeanor offenders such as Lohan typically serve only about 25 per cent of their sentences

But according to Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department spokesman Steve Whitmore Lohan will actually only serve 14 days.

'She is scheduled to be released on either August 1 or 2 for overcrowding issues and good behavior,' he told People.com.

That means in theory she should be out in time for the premiere of Machete, the action-thriller opening Sept. 3 that stars Lohan as a gun obsessed socialite. But the star still has to serve 90 days in a rehab clinic.

It's hadn't been a good 24 hours for the star leading up her dramatic court appearance. Celebrity lawyer Robert Shapiro walked away from representing her, just hours before she was due to appear in court.

Shapiro, who famously represented OJ Simpson, stepped away after meeting with a judge the afternoon before Lohan's court appearance.

He had taken on her case unofficially on the condition she followed the judge's orders and reported to jail.

But Shawn Chapman Holley, who quit after the actress's sentencing, never signed the papers removing herself as lawyer of record and was at her side this morning as she arrived in court.

Holley was due to be in court as a lawyer on an attempted murder case. But she had the Cruz case delayed so she could be with Lohan at Beverly Hills Superior Court.

Lohan took to Twitter the night before her court appearance and made it clear she's still in disbelief over the sentencing.

'The only "bookings" that i'm familiar with are Disney Films, never thought that i'd be "booking" into Jail... eeeks,' she wrote.

But tonight a spoof Twitter site 'LindayInJail' poked fun at the actress with the entry: 'Isn't it funny," I can't help but think.. So many bars, but nothing to drink.'
