Kiefer Sutherland Describes Jail Ordeal

Months after Kiefer Sutherland completed his seven-week jail sentence for DUI, the 24 star still shivers at the thought of what he endured.

"There's no smoking," Sutherland, 41, tells Men's Vogue in its December/January issue, which hits newsstands Nov. 25. "The lights never go out, 24/7. You can't cover anything. You can't even put your head under a blanket. All the cells have cameras in them."

[GEAH]

ooh, didn't know he was in jail. i wonder if he had any hot steamy prison mansex?

He probably did, but he's not going to tell.

I makes all the sadistic authoritarians get all gooey.
