No, Galileo wrote his first work, Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief World Systems, as a free man. It was that book that angered the Catholic Church. Galileo was never actually in jail; he was put on house arrest even when he was awaiting trial. The Church condemned him to a life of house arrest, and it was there that he wrote his second book. He was never actually in jail, but he was on permanent house arrest where he wrote his second.
