Kiefer set for release from jail after 48 days for DUI

Glendale, CA

Kiefer Sutherland is to be released from jail on Monday after serving 48 days on a drink-driving charge.

Sutherland spent his sentence cleaning sheets, pillowcases and blankets on laundry duty, police officer John Balian said, adding that the US actor was no problem during his time in jail.

The 41-year-old star of hit series 24 pleaded no contest at the end of last year to drunk driving. He was sentenced to 30 days for that crime and 18 days for violating probation from a 2004 drink-driving arrest. He was granted a request to serve his time in California's Glendale's jail rather than in the overcrowded Los Angeles County jail. In exchange for that, he could not receive any time off his sentence for good behavior
