The French tourist who scaled the Brooklyn Bridge will be spending time in prison, but not as an inmate. 

Yonathan Souid was ordered to spend 240 hours cleaning a Manhattan jail. He pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge after climbing the city landmark to take photos.

Souid's lawyer said he prefers cleaning a jail than actually living in one. 

Security breaches have been an issue on the bridge in recent months. Back in July, two German artists traded the bridge's American flags with white ones. A month later, a Russian tourist also climbed the bridge to take pictures.
