What Tommy Lee's Time In Prison Was Really Like

According to MTV, Tommy Lee received a six-month sentence in prison, 200 hours of community service, and three years of probation. Additionally, the rocker was not permitted to be within 100 yards of Pamela Anderson. The musician was also required to cough up $5,000 for a domestic violence charity. The outlet reported that Lee served his sentence as an inmate at the Los Angeles County Jail. 

Ultimately, this isn't the outcome that either Lee or Anderson had desired. According to AP, the former "Baywatch" star had made a plea through her lawyer asking that Lee not receive jail time. Instead, the actor asked that her estranged husband receive counseling and probation. Regardless, the drummer ended up behind bars, but he did have some positive things to say about his experience.

Although he served a short bid, Lee says his six-month prison sentence wasn't all bad. "I loved prison," he told ContactMusic (via Ultimate Guitar). "Just total peace and quiet. I was, like, 'F***, this is nice." And while that's how Lee felt at one point, he later spoke about his darker days behind bars.
