Steve-O will be spending some time behind bars, but he has no regrets for what he did.

OnAug. 9 he climbed to the top of a crane in Hollywood, carrying an inflatable whale and a sign protesting the theme park, and shot off fireworks.

The stuntman posted the lengthy message, saying that he's "ready to go to jail - not just because it will bring so much attention to the plight of orcas in captivity, but because it's nice to let people know I haven't lost my edge...I mean, if your goal is to make a statement about captivity, you may as well get yourself locked up," he said, further highlighting his reformation by adding that he has also launched a campaign to raise funds for at-risk, inner city kids in Los Angeles.
