24 star, Kiefer Sutherland has admitted that driving under the influence of alcohol was “so stupid!” and admits to being very angry with himself over his actions.

“People make mistakes. I never lied about it being a mistake and I had to go through what I had to go through for it,” Sutherland told The Times. “I was incredibly cross with myself for it. It was careless and I wasn’t thinking. Hopefully that’s behind me and I’m moving on. I’ve never had a traffic accident in my life, but if I did in that situation and I had hurt someone, well, your life is over. It was so stupid.” Read more & comment »

Kiefer Sutherland was this week sentenced to serve 48 days in prison after being convicted for drunk driving.

Thankfully there will be Paris Hilton style tantrums and dramas, as prison staff have described the star as a model prisoner.

Prison Officer John Balian revealed: “He’s a model prisoner. He’s not happy to be here, but you can tell from his demeanour that he’s sorry and takes responsibility for what he’s done.”

Sutherland spent his first day serving food to the other prisoners and folding laundry.

Balian added: “He hasn’t had any visitors as yet, but has bought several books with him to keep him entertained.”
