The actor will be a free man after the weekend.

KIEFER SUTHERLAND will be released next Monday from jail, the Glendale Police tell ET. He will most likely be released in the early morning, according to authorities.

Last month, the "24" star checked into jail in Glendale, CA, to serve a 48-day sentence stemming from his DUI arrest.

At the time of his incarceration, a spokesperson reported to ET: "Kiefer Sutherland will serve all 48 days of his sentence. He will be in a cell by himself. It is not because he is someone special, but because anyone sentenced to a long period of time is in a cell by themselves. Kiefer will be assigned to laundry detail and kitchen detail. He will be working while he is here. He was very humble, accepts full responsibility and is committed to doing 48 days."

Kiefer was not placed in special living accommodations available to those with the means. "We do have a pay-to-stay," a representative from the jail confirmed, "however, he did not request [the program]. He wanted to be treated like any other inmate sentenced to do his time."
