Kiefer Sutherland has been released from jail after serving his full 48-day sentence.

The 24 star walked out of prison at 12:05 a.m. Monday, hours earlier than had been expected.

The 41-year-old actor served jail time for a Sept. 25, 2007, DUI charge.

Glendal City Jail rep John Bailan said Kiefer spent his days doing laundry, emptying trash bins and mopping floors.

Now let’s get that writer’s strike out of the way and bring back 24!!!!!!!!!

Kiefer Sutherland spent his first full day on his 48-day sentence on Thursday folding jail laundry, according to People.

The 24 star had cornflakes for breakfast, a turkey sandwich for lunch and chicken a la king for dinner. A LA KING!!!!

“[Kiefer’s a] model prisoner,” says a spokesman for the Glendale City Jail. “[But] there’s no way he’s getting out early, unless a judge orders otherwise, which is highly unlikely.”

“He’s not happy to be here,” Officer John Balian added. “But you can tell from his demeanor that he’s sorry and takes responsibility for what’s he’s done (DUI and a probation violation)… But we don’t put murderers or rapists who are awaiting trial in the same area as a guy convicted of a DUI.”

Here is 24 star Kiefer Sutherland’s mug shot!

Per TMZ, Kiefer, aka inmate #1085109, began his 48 days behind bars at Glendale, Calif. City Jail tonight for his DUI conviction.

His birthday (Dec. 21), Christmas and New Years will be spent in an orange jumpsuit in jail!

The booking records show Kiefer is 5′10″, 150 lbs, blue eyes, blond hair, 40 years old.

At least his mug shot looks pretty sexy, yah?
