The CDCR released this statement regarding the documents: "Immediately after the apprehension of Phillip Garrido, the department conducted an internal review and cooperated fully with an investigation conducted by the California Office of the Inspector General. Improvements to the state's parole system were made immediately, including requiring agents to conduct a thorough evaluation of a parolees' property. The department also implemented major reforms to its parole system through recently enacted legislation that assesses all parolees' risk to reoffend, and significantly reduces parolee to agent caseloads so agents can focus on the most dangerous of offenders. In addition, the reduced caseloads allow agents to more frequently monitor sex offenders on GPS to hopefully prevent future crimes. Furthermore, the department is in the process of adding field level supervisors and training officers to assist parole agents in their supervision of these individuals."
El Dorado sheriff opposes Garrido 'family' visits; Jaycee Dugard suspects hearing Friday
February 23, 2010
<snipped> The El Dorado County Sheriff is trying to block an attempt by Phillip and Nancy Garrido to visit each other in jail, calling their request "astonishing."
Sheriff Fred Kollar's objection is contained in a motion filed by prosecutors in response to the Garrido's request to be granted visitation rights to discuss "family decisions." In the court brief, Kollar said longstanding jail policy does not allow inmates to visit one another, especially when they are co-defendants in a criminal case.
The visitation issue along with a defense motion to require prosecutors to reveal Dugard's current location will be heard in Placerville Friday afternoon.
