Family visit: Dina and Ali Lohan visit the Lynwood jail in California today


Lindsay Lohan's closest family members today visited the Lynwood jail where the Mean Girls actress is being held behind bars.

Her mother Dina, 47, and sister Ali, 16, stayed for just over an hour, but it's unclear if they were actually able to see the actress, who is spending 23 hours a day in her cell.

Visitation is normally reserved for weekends, although prison wardens at the California women's prison can make exceptions.

The 24-year-old is said to have requested her family take her a copy of Ernest Hemingway's The Old Man and the Sea to help keep her occupied.

She is two days into an what was ordered to be a 90-jail term for violating her probation, however she is expected to serve just 14 days.

The jail went into lockdown mode for an hour on Tuesday 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, black eyes.

After having a photo taken, she was led to her 12ft x 8ft cell, which is next to Alexis Neiers, who was 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 offence, reduced from her already trimmed day-long sentence because of the overpopulation issue.
