Jaycee Dugard: Finally Free From Captivity, Writes About Experience

Small Comforts

Initially, Dugard’s only connection to anything in the real world was the tiny TV that Phillip Garrido gave to her.

It was set to the QVC network. Thus, Jaycee has memories of falling asleep to jewelry sales and feeling grateful to hear other people’s voices.

Failure of Parole Officers
