Teen Mom Amber Portwood asked a judge to put her in jail and throw away the key - and it looks like she can start packing her bags. TMZ reported that the troubled young mom received a suspended five-year sentence back in January stemming from a December drug arrest, which would be dropped if Portwood completed a drug rehab program successfully and had clean drug tests. Last month, she told a judge she just couldn't stay clean, much to the chagrin of her lawyer, who stood shaking his head during the hearing. She told the judge she wanted out of drug court immediately and would always be a "bad girl." She asked for the five-year sentence to be imposed and in court Tuesday morning, she got her wish. Her beleaguered attorney asked for leniency, but the judge wasn't having it. So Portwood will get credit for time already served and will report to the Indiana Department of Corrections therapeutic community program, where she'll hopefully exorcise all her drug demons. Unfortunately, that leaves her daughter Leah without a mom until she's approximately 8 years old...
