Keifer Sutherland is behind bars.

The Emmy-winning star of "24" checked into jail in Glendale this week to begin serving a 48-day sentence for a DUI arrest in September - his second in three years. He will be working kitchen and laundry detail during his stay at the facility, reported ET.com.

Glendale police told ET that Kiefer will serve all 48 days of his sentence (no check-in, check out jazz like Lindsay Lohan and Nicole Richie) and will have his own cell. Even though Keifer has made millions as a producer and the star of "24," he's not paying for special digs at the jail which was an option.

"We do have a pay-to-stay," a jail representative said to ET, "however, he did not request [the program]. He wanted to be treated like any other inmate sentenced to do his time."

On Friday, a spokesperson provided the details on that first day behind bars: "Kiefer is not happy to be here, but has accepted his responsibility and is ready to get on with his life." Keifer's menu was cereal for breakfast, a turkey sandwich for lunch and chicken a la king for dinner.

Meanwhile, Vivica A. Fox pleaded no contest to DUI and was sentenced to 36 months probation, a fine, and she must attend AA meetings.

Then there is Gary Collins - the former talk show host who also pleased no contest to DUI this week. He was sentenced to 48 months of probation and to either 96 hours in L.A. County jail with a $500 fine. He also must perform 100 hours of community service and, because he had previously been convicted of DUI in 2004, must participate in an 18-month second offender drug and alcohol program, and attend Alcoholics Anonymous meetings.

Hmmmm. Collins slammed into a few cars and still got off pretty easy compared to Keifer.

I'm just sayin...
