Judge Offer Lindsay Lohan If You Plead, You’re Going To Six Month Jail (Breaking News)

Lindsay Lohan just got the word from the judge - if she accepts a plea bargain, she Will go to jail. TMZ broke the story this morning ... the judge will throw Lindsay in jail if she accepts a plea bargain.

Judge Keith Schwartz told the famous defendant bluntly, "I don't care that you're Lindsay Lohan." Judge Schwartz did not say how much jail time Lindsay would do if she cops a plea.

Lohan, who wore a low-cut black top to the proceedings, was told by Judge Keith Schwartz that if she does accept Los Angeles County Deputy District Attorney Danette Meyers' offer to settle the case, she "will be going to jail." According to TMZ, the deal is for six months of jail time.



Schwartz — who would handle sentencing if she accepts the plea — let it be known that he wouldn't allow her celebrity to affect his decision, telling her, bluntly, "I don't care that you're Lindsay Lohan.



Accordinh to TMZ.com reported that Lohan told a friend after leaving the courtroom she was not guilty and would not accept going back to jail. She has until March 10 to consider her response.

"I don't care that you are Lindsay Lohan versus John Doe," Schwartz lectured the "Mean Girls" actress. "You will be treated exactly the same as anyone else, no better or worse."

Lohan, dressed in cream pants and a low-cut black blouse, said little during Wednesday's hearing, conferring quietly with her attorney and answering the judge, "yes, your honor," when asked if she understood what he said to her.

Lohan made her name as an 11-year-old in the Disney movie "The Parent Trap" and went on to have hits with "Freaky Friday" and "Herbie Fully Loaded".

But she lost her lead part in a movie about 1970s porn actress Linda Lovelace while she was in rehab last year.

Britain prison opens top-class restaurant



Serving time: The menu at The Clink, the new restaurant at High Down Prison in Surrey

Prison opens a high class restaurant.
You can order anything, just don't ask for porridge.

The food could grace an upmarket restaurant in London's West End, with decor to match... but the panic alarms and the plastic cutlery show all is not as it seems.
This is The Clink, Britain's first experiment in fine dining to be situated inside a high-security prison.
Getting a seat is not simply a matter of booking well in advance, but requires Home Office approval and security clearance.

Exclusive: Diners at the restaurant need full security clearance to get a seat

Diners are ushered into the restaurant at HMP High Down in Surrey past 30ft-high walls topped with razor wire.
All the chefs, porters and waiters are prisoners and both the head chef and the maitre d' are convicted drug smugglers.
Wine in this cooler is only offered on special occasions, in carefully monitored volumes, while baking is problematic because yeast could be used for brewing alcohol if it somehow found its way into the cells.

Quality control: Catering manager Alberto Crisci, right, inspects the food

No bars to success: HMP High Down governor Peter Dawson describes The Clink as 'an inspirational project'

The idea of a high-quality prison restaurant was cooked up by High Down catering manager Alberto Crisci - formerly a chef at Mirabelle in London's Mayfair, which was once owned by Marco Pierre White.
The Prison Service put up £300,000 and Mr Crisci invested his own money too in getting the project off the ground. Prison governor Peter Dawson describes it as 'an inspirational project'.

The aim is to rehabilitate the prisoners by giving them skills, a sense of purpose - and discipline worthy of the chefs who compete on TV's Hell's Kitchen.
Mr Crisci told the Daily Mirror: 'Prisoners only have to step out of line once and they are out. This is a real restaurant. I expect them to do exactly what I ask them to do.'

Time for rehabilitation: Four of the staff at The Clink, where discipline is the watchword

Cutting edge: But diners have to make do with plastic cutlery

Prices are rock bottom compared to other restaurants of this calibre. For £4.50, you can have griddled minute steak with sauce bearnaise, chips and salad; breast of chicken and pepperonata with radicchio risotto; or grilled plaice fillets with spinach, broccoli and potato salad.
Many of the ingredients at The Clink are fresh from the prison gardens and all meals are cooked to order.
Presumably, however, no one asks for porridge.
