Having pleaded no contest to drink driving, ‘24′ star Kiefer Sutherland is now facing 48 days in jail as part of his sentencing deal.
The show’s star agreed to serve 30 days for driving with a blood-alcohol level above the legal limit of .08 percent, as well as 18 days for violating his probation for a 2004 drunken driving case, according to court records.

Prosecutors have recommended that he serve 30 days for last month’s offence and another 18 days for violating his probation in the 2004 case.
As part of the arrangement, Sutherland must also enroll in an 18-month alcohol-education class and attend weekly alcohol-therapy sessions for six months.
