The March-April 1961 10th Anniversary Edition of Transition features reflective editorials, highlighting upcoming rehabilitation reforms, new facilities for drug-addicted prisoners and improvements to prison recreational activities. It includes an article titled “Lonely Wine,” which addresses the emotional struggles of prisoners’ wives raising children on their own, and the social stigma of having an incarcerated spouse. Additionally, this edition also includes a poem titled “Hardened Artery”, a “Dialogue” discussing rehabilitation and critiquing the superficial nature of prison reforms, essays such as “Tuum Est,” which emphasizes self-improvement during incarceration and “Autolycus and Environment,” which challenges the idea of thieves being socially maladjusted.
