Notes: Models were estimated using generalized linear model (active sentence length). Models controlled for race/ethnicity (white (omitted), black, other race/ethnicity), woman’s age (16–18,19–24,25–34, 35–55 (omitted)), number of previous misdemeanor convictions, number of previous felony convictions, most severe offense class convicted: for misdemeanor model (Class 3 (omitted), 2, 1, A1), for felony model (Class I (omitted), H, G, F, E, D, C, B2, B1), disposed year fixed effects, and 2009 judicial district fixed effects. Class A felonies are death or life sentences and were excluded. Ten women-disposed-dates with death or life sentences were excluded.
