Jailbirds in Flight: Everything You've Wanted to Know about Enlightenment in Prison but Were Afraid to Ask
by Nicole Daedone
Everything you’ve wanted to know about enlightenment in prison but were afraid to ask.
A transformative journey of a woman incarcerated, who discovered how to turn prisons into monasteries—and help others find freedom within walls.
True freedom has nothing to do with physical walls. It’s the quiet revolution that happens when a woman discovers she was never really trapped at all.
Nicole Daedone has given the copyright, all book proceeds, and related rights this book to the Jailbirds in Flight Trust, so her story can keep benefiting others. The Trust money is shared between some of the women she was incarcerated with , some of whose stories helped inspire some of this book and the non-profit Unconditional Freedom which runs the Art of Soulmaking and Guards to Guardians.
Praise
“Daedone's memoir chronicles her time in a women's prison…. Her descriptions of prison realities are always infused with subtle notes of optimism, even when the harsh realities of the place are front and center…. A stark yet hopeful story of one woman's experience in prison.”
