Jaycee Lee Dugard: Penitentiary Marriages

What were we thinking? Why did we ever allow these two freaks to meet and marry? We allowed Phillip Garrido to cultivate a relationship and marry Nancy Garrido when he was in Leavenworth Penitentiary, Kansas serving a 50-year federal sentence for kidnap and violent sexual assault. She was 26 and he was 30. His psychiatric evaluation diagnosed him as a "sexual deviant and chronic drug abuser”.

That didn’t keep the Prison authorities from letting Nancy and Phillip Garrido meet and eventually marry whilst he was still imprisoned in Leavenworth Penitentiary, Kansas. We are our own worst enemy for letting this go on!

The issue of Prison Marriages needs to be reviewed!

Did we allow a sexual deviant, Phillip Garrido, to lure a feeble, vulnerable Nancy? Or was Nancy a willing female pedophile?

Maybe one of society’s ultimate taboos is the concept of ‘female pedophiles acting alone’. Nancy definitely was not acting alone but as soon as a man is involved society assume the woman acted under duress, fear or is coerced by the man.This is how we take away any responsibility she has for the sexual abuse of the child. We resist the idea that women can be voluntarily participate in the sexual abuse of children.

Female sexual abuse is much more threatening to the fabric of our society- it undermines our core beliefs and feelings about how women should relate to children.

Should Nancy Garrido fall into the title of a female pedophile? Was she forced or acted willingly?
Even after the trial we cannot be certain that the truth will out but that still doesn’t address the fact. We paid for the wedding!

Garrido was convicted of kidnap and rape and began serving a 50-year federal sentence on June 30, 1977, at Leavenworth Penitentiary in Kansas. In a court-ordered psychiatric evaluation, Garrido was diagnosed as a "sexual deviant and chronic drug abuser."

While he was locked up in Leavenworth Phillip Garrido met Nancy. She was there visiting another inmate, her uncle. On October 5, 1981, Phillip Garrido and Nancy Bocanegra were married at Leavenworth. So the marriage occurred in 1981 even though Phillip Garrido was not released until 1988. Seven years later. Did they get conjugal rights for those seven years?

So the question still is. Did we place a weak and vulnerable woman under the power and control of a diagnosed incarcerated “sexual deviant” or are women pedophiles much more responsible for their abuse of children than society wishes to admit?

Prison Marriages. Have we permitted our prisons be a dating agency for sexual deviants? Not only that we then marry them!
