Kidnapping victim Jaycee Dugard opposes Prop. 57

[alp227]

Seven years after she was freed from captivity, Jaycee Dugard has kept a relatively low profile. Despite writing a couple of best-selling first-person books about a life defined by her 1991 kidnapping and subsequent near-slavery, her precise whereabouts remain a mystery. Dugard is single, according to interviews, and spends her time focusing on her children.

But now Dugard has come out with a political statement on Facebook.

“I’d promised myself I would not use FB for anything political but I’m asking you all to vote NO on prop 57,” Dugard wrote in a missive posted Oct. 21 at 4:21 p.m., referring to the state ballot proposition that would reduce time served for many criminals. “Other survivors like me should not have to worry when and if their rapist and/or their captor will get out. Phillip and Nancy Garrido kidnapped me in 1991 after he was released from prison having only served 11 out of 50 years for a previous rape.”
