Failure of Parole Officers
During the time Jaycee was held in the backyard, parole officers visited the home 60 times to check on Phillip Garrido. However, they failed to inspect those sheds that sat behind a fence in the back. Even though Garrido had a GPS tracker, they didn’t monitor it too closely.
Sentencing and Repercussions Of Failure
During his sentencing, Phillip Garrido was found guilty for kidnapping and 13 counts of sexual assault. Thus, his sentence was determined to be 431 years in prison. Also, California state awarded Jaycee $20 million. This money came as a result of the Inspector General finding that the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation has “repeatedly failed to properly classify and supervise parolee Garrido.”
