Kiefer Sutherland is a “model prisoner,” said Glendale, Calif., city jail spokesman John Balian. The 24 star this week began serving his 48-day sentence for drunken driving and has been assigned to folding laundry and serving meals to his fellow inmates through slots in their cell doors. “He’s not happy to be here,” said Balian, “but you can tell from his demeanor that he’s sorry and takes responsibility for what he’s done.” Sutherland has a private cell and little contact with other prisoners, but no special privileges.
