I am glad Jack allowed Tosh to do this, he is a wonderful person.

great drabble.

He is, and he understands doing whatever it takes to save a family member so he doesn't want to punish her further.

Thank you!

That is the perfect gift for someone who misses their family and cannot see them.

It is, it gives Tosh so much comfort being able to talk to her family.

Thank you!

In spite of all the posturing, Jack can't hide what a caring person he really is from the people who matter to him.

Yes, exactly! He has this image he projects to the general public and people in authority, but those close to him see through that, because he lets them in.

Thank you.

He surely knows how to treat his own people!

He wants to show Tosh that he trusts her and that she's not a prisoner now.

Thank you!

Of all those Jack hired, Tosh was my favorite, next to Ianto and Owen. Her crime was serious but I loved the way Jack dealt with it. I suspect that Jack felt it was totally unfair to put such limits on her family contacts and that he was thinking of his own family when he circumvented UNIT.

It was a serious crime, but Jack - unlike UNIT - took her motives into consideration. She was trying to save her mother, not trying to commit treason (even though that's what she did) for nefarious purposes.

I think Jack would have wanted to show Tosh that he trusted her, because after what she did and what was done to her as a result, being trusted would have meant the world to her. It would have helped Tosh to trust Jack too, and prove to her that he didn't consider her a prisoner.

Thank you!
