Rationale 2: Cluster random sampling would be the most practical and yield the most reliable data because systematic selection of location for participants will improve reliability of data, and because the volume and locations of city, county, and federal prisons presents an impractical, expensive, and time-consuming approach.
Rationale 3: Although quota sampling may be practical, it will yield results drawn from a convenience sample.
Rationale 4: Although simple random sampling will yield reliable data, it is impractical because of volume and location.
