In this research we will examine participants in an interview about their ideas on some inmates and about their sentences and for the charge they had. To do this we will use the In-Depth Interview to get my information and using the labeling theory to help me find my answers.

have caused many banks to drop medical dispensaries from their merchant account roles. For business owners who feel that credit card processing is an integral part of their success, this rash of rejection notices from banks is more than a little distressing. It isn't uncommon for the owner of a dispensary to sign up with a bank only to hear a few weeks later that their services are being withdrawn.
