The January-February 1962 issue of Transition features articles on legal aid, equal access to justice, and reflective pieces on prison life, including a letter comparing TV reruns to punishment and an essay on broken New Year’s resolutions. It also covers the prison’s Christmas concert, articles on addiction, memory, and the role of psychiatry in rehabilitation, as well as prisoners’ perspectives on whether there should be a minimum age for penitentiary sentences. In addition, the article highlights a National Parole Board report emphasizing reform over revenge, a short story on overpopulation called “The Big Game,” inmate committee elections, and discussions on juvenile delinquency.
