debrief the following information:

Finding participants

It was not difficult for me to find people to interview. I utilized a friend who was incarcerated and received mental health treatment throughout his 7 year incarceration. I also utilized my closest friend who currently works with in the prison as a correctional counselor providing mental health services.

Format

The format of my interview was by email and telephone. My interview took place using these methods because of distance. This was not my preference. My preference for the interview process was in-person interviews. The process for setting up the appointment consisted of both individuals providing me with their availability for phone calls. I also emailed the interview/survey questions to both individuals.

Technicalities

To make the interview process run smoothly I ensure that both interviewees were provided with questions beforehand. During the phone call is discussed confidentiality and the purpose, and relevance of the study. I also asked both interviewees if they had further questions or concerns prior to beginning the interview.
