Jaycee Dugard Journal

Jaycee Dugard kept a diary during the time she was held captive by kidnapper Phillip Garrido. In February 2010, the district attorney who is prosecuting Garrido released excerpts of Dugard's journal. Prosecutors revealed the journal entries to help prove the emotional control Garrido had over her. Garrido's attorneys filed a motion seeking to learn where Dugard is now living so that they may contact her. The diary reportedly reveals that Garrido planned, in advance, a way to still contact Dugard if he was ever arrested.http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2010/02/11/MNC21C069T.DTL

In 1991 Dugard was kidnapped near her home in California at the age of 11 years old. Her kidnappers, Phillip Garrido and his wife Nancy, held Dugard in a makeshift 'tent' city in the backyard of their Antioch home. Dugard was raped repeatedly and her kidnapper fathered her two daughters who are now 12 and 15. Dugard spent 18 years in captivity until she was 29 years old. The kidnappers were arrested and both pleaded not guilty.http://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory?id=9809975

• "I don't want to hurt him, sometimes I think my very presence hurts him. So how can I ever tell him how I want to be free. Free to come and go as I please. Free to say I have a family. I will never cause him pain if it's in my power to prevent it. FREE."—Jaycee Lee Dugard, September 2003http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2010/02/11/MNC21C069T.DTL

• "It feels like I'm sinking. I'm afraid I want control of my life ... This is supposed to be my life to do with what I like ... But once again he has taken it away. How many times is he allowed to take it from me? I am afraid he doesn't see how the things he says makes me a prisoner ... Why don't I have control of my life! I feel I can't even be sure my thoughts are my own."—Jaycee Lee Dugard, July 5, 2004http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2010/02/11/MNC21C069T.DTL
