AFTER her first weekend of freedom in a month, convicted burglar and Pretty Wild‘s Alex Neiers tells E! about being behind bars—and her neighbour Lindsay Lohan.

Alex, who has just completed her 30-day jail sentence for burglarising Orlando Bloom‘s home, said Lindsay was obviously shaken when she entered the Century Regional Detention Facility last week.

“Crying. She was crying,” described Alex in the interview. “I could hear her.”

Alex also recalls Lindsay’s first day.

“I could start hearing like what was going on in there, I tried to just, really just keep to myself and the last thing I really want to hear, you know, when you’re trying to be so strong and just get through the day. I mean, the days are so long in there, you’re woken up at 5:30,” she revealed.

“She was crying. She was talking to deputies and, you know, just trying to—I couldn’t really like make it out, but from what I saw the first day, I mean, she was lying in there and just trying to like calm down.”

Of course, that doesn’t mean Alex could actually get in contact with Lindsay while in protective custody—not that LiLo would want that seeing as Alex played a part in getting the actress’ house burgled as well. But the reality TV star said Lilo had her share of privileges.

“I mean, she got to keep her extensions in and everything, which most people don’t, and the girls were like, ‘Ah, they had to take my weave out and cut it all out and,’ you know, stuff like that.”

But apparently Lindsay had to give up her leggings after all.

“She had her head down when she walked by and she was in oranges, just like us.”

“I wish her the best, honestly, but you know, it’s all up to your mindset, and I don’t know what her mindset is in there. And I mean, from what I understand, she was having medical attention and she was just trying to get—I’m sure she was just trying to get through the days. I mean, it’s hard.”
