Celebs Who Have Done Jail Time

The news cycle features a steady rotation of celebs who've somehow accrued DUIs, drug charges, and much more. But while it seems their crimes usually result in a memorable mug shot and little more, these are the celebs who have spent real time in the slammer. Wesley Snipes made a big name for himself in the '90s, but the U.S. government eventually realized it wasn't getting enough of that sweet Hollywood moola from the actor. He was charged with income tax evasion in 2006, allegedly owing the IRS $23.5 million in back taxes since 2001. CNN reported that Snipes was convicted on three misdemeanor counts of failing to file tax returns in 2008, for which he received a three-year prison sentence. In April 2013, Snipes was released from Pennsylvania's McKean Federal Correctional Institution after serving two years and four months, after which he spent another three months on house arrest, according to TMZ. By 2014, Snipes was already staging his comeback with a role in The Expendables 3. Speaking with The Telegraph, the action star commented on how he thinks he was treated by the justice system, claiming, "I think there are people out there who feel it was overkill, overzealous, overreaching. But again, that was then, this is now. And they ain't seen nothing yet. I'm just getting started."
