Alternatives
Possible solution to alleviate mental health stress in prisons is the idea of cultural competence, where those working for the prison system adapt and acknowledge an inmate’s culture to better adjust an inmate to jail. This does not currently exist in the prison system, but has been suggested to improve the experience of people of color in the prison system and those affected by solitary confinement.

Famous quotes containing the word alternatives:
“The last alternatives they face
Of face, without the life to save,
Being from all salvation weaned
A stag charged both at heel and head:
Who would come back is turned a fiend
Instructed by the fiery dead.”
—Allen Tate (1899–1979)
“The literal alternatives to [abortion] are suicide, motherhood, and, some would add, madness. Consequently, there is some confusion, discomfort, and cynicism greeting efforts to “find” or “emphasize” or “identify” alternatives to abortion.”
—Connie J. Downey (b. 1934)
“Clearly, society has a tremendous stake in insisting on a woman’s natural fitness for the career of mother: the alternatives are all too expensive.”
