Comparison To Room
When asked if she saw the movie Room about an Austrian case where a woman was help for 24 years by her dad in a basement, Jaycee said she read the book. However, she hasn’t watched the film. This woman was raped and gave birth to 7 kids during her 24 years in captivity. Jaycee said, “People think it’s close to my story. It’s very different from what I went through.”
Revamping Policy
Luckily, Jaycee was eventually rescued due to the UC Berkeley police and also state and Concord police officers. Besides receiving $20 million for parole agents’ failure to find her sooner, things have also changed policy wise to prevent similar tragedies. Jaycee said, “He wore a GPS tracker. You could clearly see him going into the backyard. What’s the point of a GPS tracking system if you don’t follow up?” Now, the monitoring policies have been completely revamped.
