Officials failed in Dugard case

Corrections officials failed to properly supervise parolee Phillip Garrido and missed opportunities to discover the girl, Jaycee Dugard, he allegedly kidnapped and held in his backyard for 18 years, a report summary released yesterday said.

The California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation also failed to refer Garrido for a mental health assessment, according to the report by the state Inspector General's Office.

The department also failed to train parole agents to conduct parolee home visits, failed to properly supervise parole agents responsible for Garrido and failed to adequately classify Garrido, the summary said.
