Lindsay Lohan will go to jail if she pleads guilty or even no contest in her felony theft case.

Any plea is an admission that she violated her probation, the judge indicated in court today.

Should she choose the plea bargain, the only question, according to Judge Keith Schwartz, would be for how long she’d be behind bars.

But first, to gain more insight, the judge requested that he receive “psychological information” about Lohan.

Nothing was officially decided today.

Lohan has until her next court date on March 10 to decide whether she’ll plea bargain or risk a year in state prison by going to trial.

“I want you to get on with your life,” said a compassionate Schwartz. “I don’t want you to be a repeat offender.”

He recommended that she receive “psychological counseling on a regular basis,” and that she “get a reliable, trustworthy sponsor” who is not related to her in any way, and whose only motivation is that Lohan succeed.

In the next two weeks, Lohan will be conferring with her attorney Shawn Chapman Holley to decide whether to plea bargain.
