I was shocked but sadly not surprised to hear DOC say they were proud of the parole officer who did such an incompetent job. Also I felt the DOC representative was not 100% truthful when Jaycees father asked him about Garridos parole violation
See below news story:
Garrido violated federal parole, stayed free

Available federal and state parole records show that Phillip Garrido was released from a Nevada prison in 1988 only to violate his federal parole in California five years later.
But Garrido, suspected of kidnapping Jaycee Lee Dugard from South Lake Tahoe in 1991, served just a four months in federal prison for the parole violation in 1993.
Nevada officials were never informed of his parole violation.
If we had been notified of that we would have done a retake, said Gail Powell, spokeswoman for the Nevada Department of Public Safety. She said he would have been brought back to serve the remainder of his sentence in Carson City.
We were never informed, she said. I dont know why.
The record shows:
Garrido served 11 years of a federal kidnapping sentence in Kansas before being released to Nevada State Prison in January 1988.
Garrido, who had been sentenced to 50 years on federal kidnapping charges, was sent to Nevada after his release to serve a state sentence of five years to life for sexual assault. Because his 11 years in the federal prison counted as time served, he was eligible for parole as soon as he arrived in Carson City on Jan. 22, 1988.
On Aug. 1, 1988, the Nevada Parole Board, by a 3-2 vote released Garrido. He was technically on parole in Nevada, but federal parole took precedence and he moved to California.
He remained on federal parole until 1988, when the federal hold ended, Nevada officials said. His Nevada parole was still in effect, but the supervision fell to the California Department of Parole and Probation because he resided in that state and the two states have a cooperative agreement.
Federal records show Garrido violated his federal parole in 1993, but Nevada officials were not informed and didnt know about the violation until being asked about it by the Reno Gazette-Journal on Friday.
Powell said Garrido met his wife while he was serving time at the federal penitentiary in Leavenworth, Kansas. Phillip and Nancy Garrido are now facing 29 felony counts related to Dugards kidnapping, rape and 18-year imprisonment.
