And how many of them were convicted of rape and kidnapping. Chances are very high that he was the only one with his record, and the only one with an early parole situation.
Here is one problem, our sex offender registry includes ever minor offense, and so everywhere, there are large numbers of people on the list. They have destroyed the system by putting people in it who have done something as minor as mooning someone as a college prank.
Drug and alcohol addiction are widespread; back yards are littered with cars and fridges.[ Astonishingly, the area is home to 144 rapists and paedophiles

I'm not arguing with you and haven't been from the start
All I've done is post information I've accessed online
It's been suggested that Garrido was released early on account of his marriage
It's also been suggested that whilst his wife might have been naive, Garrido saw her and marriage to her as a way to manipulate the system and 'prove' to the parole board that he was reformed and/or that the parole board might consider him no longer a great threat because 'now he has a wife' (which makes the parole board sound worse than naive and as if they believed all he needed to keep him on the straight and narrow was a steady sexual partner)
I don't know why you're responding to my posts so aggressively. Seems you are angry about the Garrido case and imagine anyone who isn't ranting about castration and bullets in the brain is somehow attempting to excuse Garrido and the authorities

This is the reason why we should have an immediate firing squad for pedophiles and violent rapists when they are convicted.
An FBI agent who spent 18 years on Dugard's kidnapping case says the Garridos never were considered suspects.
Special Agent Chris Campion said the bureau exhausted thousands of leads about Dugard's whereabouts, sometimes with the help of confidential informants and court-ordered wiretaps.
Yet Campion said in the interview posted on the FBI Web site Friday that Phillip and Nancy Garrido 'just did not come up on the radar screen'.
'We've gone through and checked our records and my memory is no, we didn't have any thing that remotely was close to these people,' Campion said. 'We can tell you several thousands of people that didn't kidnap Jaycee Lee Dugard.'
The secrets of the Garrido home began to surface early last week when Garrido arrived for a meeting with his parole officer with his wife, Dugard, now 29, and the two girls.
Over the years, Campion said he made a point of calling Dugard's mother every year on Dugard's birthday. He was the one who called to give her the news that her daughter was alive and he was present last week when they were reunited.
'It was a very emotional scene - both of them were just overjoyed to be with each other again,' he said. 'There's going to be a period of adjustment, no doubt, but they're doing very well at this point

Yes, I did notice that, and if I come off as aggressively argumentative, I am sorry. Yes, I am a bit emotional about the subject, hard not to be. My goal is to why and how these factors are misleading.
There are probably many influential perverts out there who're having nightmares about what Garrido, his wife, Jaycee and her children will reveal.
