Klijssen spent part of his life in prison. In 1969, he gained some media attention through his initiative K-'69, a union that tried to make an end to the difficulties that former detainees experience when returning to society. He published his autobiography 'Op De Punt van een Naald: De Bekeerde Zondaar Bestaat Niet' with De Arbeiderspers in 1968.
