Kiefer Swamped In Prison Fan Mail
As we scrawl yet another red X on our 12 Months of Torture: An Official '24' 2007 Calendar—bringing us to Day 8 of what will eventually be 48 days behind bars for Kiefer Sutherland—we've been on the lookout for reports on how the actor is faring behind the razor-wire-enforced walls of the Glendale City Jail. One encouraging report suggests Sutherland has been deluged in fan mail in the days since beginning his sentence:
The actor has received more than 100 letters a day since starting his sentence Dec. 5 in California's Glendale City Jail. Sutherland is serving time for driving under the influence and violating his probation for another offense.
Spokesman for the Glendale City Jail John Balian said, "The guy has been getting a ton of fan mail. Easily more than 100 letters a day.
The jail rep paused for a moment before his face fell and all color drained from his cheeks, going on to explain that all 100 pieces came in identical red envelopes fastened with sealing wax, and contained intricate collages composed of Lost Boys Fan Club memorabilia, 24's TV Guide covers, and what appeared to be human hair and tooth fragments arranged to read "Waiting 4 Kiefer" next to an ominous smiley face.
