Certain hours of the day should be reserved for quiet time. Inmates should take time to read, write, draw, or meditate. This can provide better tranquility to their mental health. " Regarding this statement, how can this be effectuated in a prison context?

 

Prisons will start designating meditation and relaxing time to inmates by coming up with a day plan and allocate a few hours for 'alone time' of the inmates. There should be designated areas where one can choose to spend during these hours. Officers should be present in all of those areas ensuring minimum interruption and maintaining order. Inmates should be advised to take up one of the activities that will calm their minds.
