Jaycee Lee Dugard: We Married Nancy and Phillip Garrido in Leavenworth Penitentary! Who Paid The Price?

Do you know that Nancy Garrido was introduced to and married Phillip Garrido whilst he was in Leavenworth Prison in 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”.

In spite of this we let Nancy not only to meet him in prison but gave them sufficient time together to form a relationship, get engaged and eventually marry whilst he was still incarcerated! We are our own worst enemy for letting this go on!

The issue of Prison Marriages needs to be re-examined!

Did we allow a sexual deviant, Phillip Garrido, to enmesh a mentally frail, vulnerable Nancy? Or was Nancy a willing female pedophile?

Perhaps one of society’s last taboos is the concept of ‘female pedophiles acting alone’. When a couple is involved we assume the woman is coerced. Society cannot accept that when a man is present that the woman is a willing participant.This is how we absolve the female of any responsibility to the child sexual abuse. We resist the idea that women can be willingly engage 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.

We have to answer the question, “Is Nancy a female pedophile?” Did Phillip Garrido compel Nancy to be involved or was she willing?

Even after the trial we cannot guarantee 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 caged in prison Phillip Garrido met Nancy. She was there visiting another prisoner, her uncle. On October 5, 1981, Phillip Garrido and Nancy Bocanegra were married at Leavenworth. Seven years before Phillip would be let out from prison

Let us be crystal clear about this. 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. This is an issue that needs a lot of reflection but in the meantime what were we doing letting them get married in the first place?
