Jail time? From an NDA? No. No NDA can do that. There is no law that allows for criminal prosecution for violating an NDA, which is just a contract. If you violate an NDA, that’s breach of contract. The worst that could happen to you is that you have to pay the other party a shitload of money and maybe an injunction against revealing anything else. Contracts are a civil matter. You can’t be sentenced to jail in a civil matter. Either that NDA has some ridiculous bullshit in it that a first year law student would laugh at, or this guy doesn’t know what he’s talking about.
