Voinov was arrested on October 20, 2014 after bringing his wounded wife, Marta Varlamova, to a hospital in Redondo Beach, California. The next day, the hockey player was released on bail of 50 thousand dollars, but the police did not stop the investigation. The denouement of the domestic violence case came in early July: the athlete entered into a deal with the investigation, under the terms of which he must serve 90 days in the Men's Central County Jail in Los Angeles, pay a $ 700 fine and undergo a year's preventive course. With good behavior, the term can be knocked off up to 45 days.

In one of the blocks are those who are given increased attention - delinquent policemen, businessmen, athletes and show business stars. Here, Voinov, who won the Stanley Cup twice, may well find a suitable company.

The Russian was sent to the "hotel" part of the prison. In this section, the cells are not closed, and the prisoners are given complete freedom of action.

The athlete himself pays for his stay in prison, and not the US government. Maintenance costs $200 per day. That is, for a 90-day period, a hockey player will pay 18 thousand dollars, for a 45-day period, respectively, half as much.

The Russian athlete is provided with three options for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The cell itself has a shower and a TV. Also, Voinov is allowed to travel to the city to see a doctor who helps to restore the damaged Achilles tendon.

In 2007, well-known socialite Paris Hilton served time here - for driving with a revoked license and violating probation. The former heiress of the hotel empire spent 23 days in the special block for celebrities, and huge public attention was riveted to her release. The age of will is not to be seen!

Famous actress Lindsay Lohan also visited the Los Angeles County Jail. In 2007, the Hollywood rebel was found guilty of driving under the influence of alcohol and drugs and sentenced to 84 minutes in prison and a three-year probationary period, but she violated the terms of her stay at large and in 2010 again went to a penitentiary, but already for 14 days.

In 2005, The Fast and the Furious and Lost star Michelle Rodriguez seemed to be addicted to her role in the car franchise and was caught in serious speeding several times. The following year, the court sent her to prison, but due to the overcrowding of the institution, the actress was released on the first day.

In the late 1990s, Iron Man found himself at the center of scandals. Downey Jr. was detained several times for carrying an unregistered weapon, arrested for possession of drugs, fined, and in 1996 he was sentenced to 16 months in the Los Angeles County Jail.
