Source: authors’ analysis of data from the 2013–2014 Rodriguez Survey. Note: standard errors are in parentheses. Each model controls for sex, age, education, ethnicity, English language ability, immigration status, pre-detention health insurance, detention facility, length of ICE detention, and length of total incarceration prior to detention. Models 1–3 use logistical regression and Model 4 uses Poisson regression.
