What is a common way for inmates to express their frustrations?

Active listening is not a common way for inmates to express their frustrations. It is more of a technique used by staff members to understand and reflect on the feelings of inmates. In contrast, inmates often express their frustrations through direct verbal communication, physical actions, or engaging in activities that allow creative expression.

Physical exercise can be a way for inmates to manage and release pent-up frustrations through physical activity, while journaling allows for private expression of thoughts and feelings, serving as an emotional outlet. Group discussions can also be a platform for inmates to articulate their thoughts and frustrations within a controlled setting. Therefore, while active listening is essential for effective communication and understanding, it does not serve as a direct means for inmates to express their own frustrations.
