Jailbirds Libri GmbH Jailbirds in Flight

Nicole Daedone entered federal custody on charges tied to her life's work-the teaching of Orgasmic Meditation-and found herself inside the "belly of the beast," the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn. What she encounters there is a nation's shadow made visible, and within it, an unexpected field of grace.Daedone meets women of immense courage and wit-OGs, hustlers, ministers, mystics-and even correctional officers whose quiet humanity breaks through the steel divide. Each holds a fragment of forgotten wisdom. Together, they turn the fluorescent corridors of confinement into a living monastery. Between commissary sushi rituals and midnight sermons, they find freedom begins long before the gates open.Written from inside MDC, this book is a love letter to the human soul and a call to restore the sacred in our most forsaken institutions. With startling tenderness and conviction, Daedone shows what happens when we treat prisons not as wastelands of punishment, but as the bedrock of liberation for a nation.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.
