Birdman & The Shining Fire Hydrant

At first thought, prison might seem like an unusual place to go mining for wisdom. But Insight-Out might make you think differently. Insight-Out refers to a special program at California state prison San Quentin. It is a program that guides inmates on a healing process so they are able to come back out transformed and ready to serve others. One man, known simply as Birdman, offers a small story from his own journey that transformed an unjust punishment into a priceless gift. Read on and be touched by his wisdom -- from the inside out.
