Some People Just Don't Get It: Lindsay Lohan Goes To Jail Again

Some people get all the breaks in the world- they have fame, fortune, friends, good looks health and access to just about anything they want. They don't have to worry about being poor, where their next meal is going to come from, if they can afford their health care etc.
Which brings my to Lindsay Lohan. She's back in jail after trying to steal a $2500 necklace she could afford. From TMZ: Lindsay has been remanded into custody and taken to the basement of the courthouse for booking. Lindsay's lawyer has said she'll appeal, which means Lindsay is entitled to post bail.Lohan was also ordered to complete 480 hours of community service -- 360 of those hours must be performed at the Downtown Women's Center, so Lindsay can see how needy women have to live. The remaining 120 hours will be served at the L.A. County morgue.
Judge Sautner explained that Lindsay should have called the store and notified the owners about the necklace sooner. She waited several weeks and returned the necklace after finding out the cops were about to raid her house.Sautner seemed influenced by the surveillance video, which she saw for the first time in court today. Sautner agreed with Danette Meyers, who argued Lindsay used her friend Patrick as a decoy to distract the clerk.

I am just curious as to what kind of community service you can do at the L.A. County Morgue.
My students, who are severely disabled, have far more class and character Lindsay Lohan will ever have.
I do hope that Lohan gets her act together. Not because she is a star or celebrity but because she is a human being. Otherwise, send her to jail and strip her of her dignity. Maybe that will help her get her act together.
