OVER FORTY YEARS AGO...
Forty-years ago, Marvin Rauzin, a Miami businessman, founded Transition after visiting local jails once a week to help prepare inmates for their release from prison. Once released, he worked with them to help find a job, knowing that if they could find meaningful employment, the likelihood of returning to prison would be reduced.
Mr. Rauzin told his story to everyone he knew and he recruited more volunteers to help him provide the bridge from prison to purpose. Eventually, from his efforts, Transition, Inc. was born in 1972, and has been faithfully serving ex-offenders returning to Miami-Dade County upon release from jail or prison in obtaining meaningful employment.
