5, 3, 4,then 10 deaths in the past four years including 2024, all inmates were given medical and dental, psychological support and there are two causes of death of in the article unknown, which is probably the most cause for concern.
I looked it up.
The two unknown are undergoing investigations now, standard practice in ICE to investigate cause of death
8 of the deaths since 2018 resulted from covid in at-risk populations, 9 from suicide, which I think is a little higher than the american average of 14 per 100,000 people, but some of these people left notes saying that if they might be sent back then they're going to kill themselves, so... More high stakes, more pressure in a lot of these situations obviously.
Most of the covid deaths were in high risk patients, the elderly or chronically ill with kidney issues or the like.
So basically, you just did more legwork than the journalist that published this article and there isn't a big story here. Maybe if those 2 deaths come back "omg aliens killed them" we'd have a story.
It looks like they just wanted to say double the deaths and hope somebody gasped.
