Jailbirds in Flight Workbook

Nicole Daedone wrote Jailbirds in Flight inside federal custody. This is its companion — built for the women she met there, and for you. The territory: the shock of arrival, the practice of meeting yourself, what to do with pain, the self no one can lock down, the flight that is already in you, women, community, the trap of approval, generosity, truth over team, your most dangerous gift, the vision that is already forming.

Written for women inside prison, women returning home, and anyone seeking to understand transformation from the inside out, each section offers a reflection from Nicole Daedone, followed by journaling prompts, group discussion questions, and practical steps for daily life.

Whether used alone, in a group, in a class, or as part of a reentry or contemplative practice program, Jailbirds in Flight Workbook offers a path toward the part of the self no system can confiscate.
