In his article, "The Jaycee Lee Dugard Story: Why was Rapist Released?," Mike Griffin addresses what he claims to be the main issue of her case; that being the fact that her abductor, Phillip Garrido, had already committed a rape crime and was sentenced to 50 years, but after 11 years he was paroled. Griffin backs up his claim by giving examples of how there were numerous times where Jaycee and her two children could have been rescued. Griffin asserts the importance of the system which Phillip Garrido eased his way by, and makes an effort to reach out for improvements that need to be made within the parole system. The author has a frustrated tone, and is addressing a sympathetic and concerned audience.
