Newly released prisoners [from the Century Regional Detention Facility where Lohan is expected to serve her sentence] predicted Lohan will be crawling the walls in no time.

"She's going to come out of here talking to herself," said Daniella Aguilar. "I had someone in my cell to talk to, and I was going crazy."

Jasmine Waters, who served three months, warned Lohan about the "slop." "The food is horrible," said Waters, 20. "The worst is the teriyaki. We call it teri-yucky."

The inmates have nicknames for the other entrees. The baloney sandwiches are "mystery meat." The processed chicken patties are "erasers." And the peculiar house specialty - ground beef and potatoes on toast - is referred to with little affection as "shit on a shingle."

Every morning the PA system wakes the ladies at 5 a.m. sharp. Inmates are let out of their cells for just an hour a day and there is commissary where they can buy candy and shampoo. Make-up is banned and most wear dark blue uniforms. Even their bras and underwear are prison-issue and have seen better days.
