CHADWICK DOTSON, DIRECTOR OF THE VIRGINIA DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS AND ALLIES THREATS AGAINST PRISONERS AND VIRGINIA PRISON REFORM GROUPS ONLY REINFORCES WHAT WE ALREADY KNOW: THAT VIRGINIA GOVERNANCE UNDER REPUBLICANS IS CORRUPT By William Thorpe

Pictures are taken from the internet and are used for illustrative purposes only
Under the prison policies of Governor Glenn Youngkin and Virginia Republicans these past 3+ years have been revelations of one after the other horror stories confirming the charnel house reality, that is the prisons administered under the Directorate of Chadwick Dotson and the Virginia Department of Corrections. In response beginning with Governor Glenn Youngkin and his Virginia Republican Party apparatus, then Chadwick Dotson Director, and his Department of Corrections apparatchik, what was given to the People of Virginia as accounting became another blow, another nail in the coffin of that long dead requisite "faith and trust", necessary for the governing process in the Commonwealth. To make a long story short, those sworn to uphold the laws, wishes, intentions, ideas and aspirations of the People of Virginia were the ones violating it, suborning it, undermining everything in their unadulterated pursuits of waging war on the Virginia prisoner, just because the Virginia prisoner had the temerity to remind the People of Virginia that, Prison Officials who have been given the privilege to act in the name of the People, executing their wishes of "lawful imprisonment" of duly convicted Virginians, were instead violating those wishes with ad hoc and extra-judicial practices and for all purposes and intent declared themselves by their violations of law and subsequent malbehavior as being above the same law The People of Virginia are subject to,the same People who provide the salaries of beginning with Governor Glenn Youngkin, through Chadwick Dotson on to the lowest on the totem pole Department of Corrections employee. So what we are once again confronted with is that continuum of unoriginal corruption and its desperate refuge, that of issuing threats. Threats and its enactment against the Virginia prisoner by the prison official is par course and business as usual. From contrived and fabricated write ups or infractions, to shipping prisoners to other state prison system, to the recent case of Aubrey McKay and the claim of his death at the hands of Koncentration Kamp Wallens Ridge State Prison officials to the cabalistic collusion by those responsible Virginia justice infrastructure officials in the recent death of Henry Bobilly Gorham Jr. and its medical neglect cause, but as facts state, no Black Person's death which Bobilly was, can since the 15th century honestly be described as "natural causes", which is the narrative the propaganda machinery of Chadwick Dotson and co.spoon fed the Commonwealth. What threats against the exposure of Virginia Department of Corrections misdeeds does and accomplishes is it proves and shows those naive members of the Commonwealth that if, Chadwick Dotson and allies are willing to make threats against members of the Commonwealth who want nothing more than, "equality under law "for all Virginians, then it isn't hard to accept that a complaint or grievance filed by a Virginia prisoner, then given to a prison official to deposit in the mail, according to prison policy never makes it. For too long the despots and petty tyrants among us have wielded the shameless talking point that holding the Virginia prison official accountable is being soft on crime, while the opposite is true, not holding them accountable is the crime.

THE POLITICIZATION OF CRIME By William Thorpe

Pictures are taken from the internet and are used for illustrative purposes only

Yeah People its that season again, Yup in Virginia Elections are right around the corner and crime is back in vogue, meaning it has value as medium towards the end of attaining speculative political power. Now on the issue of criminality and the subsequent deviance, which has always presented itself as a universe of questions, arrayed as an entire range of aspects to be examined beginning with the primitive and its colloquial suppositions and then relatively revealing itself as a mirror reflecting the human condition. What we have come to understand is, its a denominator of interest and its shared nexus with, who benefits. So as we are witnessing in Virginia, those who care the least about the variegated levels and forms of criminality and its deviance are the ones exploiting or excavating value in it for their own specific sets of interest at the expense of its human cost, especially, the human cost. We have always observed and understood this, based on our levels of recognizing what is being played out, from the deliberate and purposeful criminalization of the general life of a type of Virginian and corollarial demographic as the politicization of crime. When we say "politicization of crime", we are speaking of a singular phenomenon, that is only concerned with exploiting crime for other purposes besides, amelioration and remedy. Understanding this distinction is necessary and valuable, because all crime are contextually political. In the sense that a politics is what defines and categorizes law, in otherwards the emergence of a society as for example the Commonwealth of Virginia upon that which it does for its survival or existence, or its political-economy, specifically the politics then establishes those means, forms and manners of interactions, relations and transactions as, Law, because it is the understanding of its techniques or culture. So Virginia, once had the political-economy of the chattel enslavement of Black People, subsequently it developed laws to secure and defend its practice of slavery and its politics reflected this to which as we understand that War as being politics by another name affirmed this with Virginia's Civil War treason.

Politicization of Crime, is the intellectual-liberalism of the exploitation of the generalized fear of and harm of a type of crime at the expense of the purpose and utility of the democratization of the rule of law and its process, in pursuit of attaining political power for certain specific reactionary goals. Critiquing this practice isnt a denial of the harm and destructiveness of crime, instead this critique and its exposure of the existence of the type and nature of the politics that shamelessly politicizes crime is highlighting that corrupting basis that births crime in the first place. Despite the fact that the Commonwealth of Virginia not only theorized against despotism, it practiced its synthesis or resolution by Waring against its antithesis the British King George lll as expressed in the Nations Revolutionary War. It's theorization was again the politicization of crime albeit, in its tyrannical form of an intolerable and corrupted Social Contract sets of relations with the British Colonial masters, which is the same exact dynamic we see at work by those who perennially exploit the criminality and deviance of a type of Virginian and demographic. The politics of politicizing crime and its exploitation is for all practical intent and purposes incapable of implementing those always necessary reforms of Virginia's Justice Infrastructure, the prison system and imprisonment scheme and notwithstanding such, if the center of the Social Contract must hold, if the systemic symptoms and effects of the politicization of crime are not to be pervasively encountered and experienced throughout the Virginia body politic, despite the various euphemisms given such symptoms as feeble and idealistic attempts at camouflaging their source and origins, the People of Virginia have to resoundingly reject the type and form of politics that only focuses on a type of crime at the expense of the crime that not only undermines the rule of law and its "equal under law" democratizing premise, but annihilates the requisite "faith and trust" in the due process terms of Virginia's Social Contract and Accountability.

ON KERRY DOUGHERTY, A BELLOWS LABORING IN STOKING FEAR OF VIRGINIA DEMOCRATS BY EXPLOITING THE MURDER OF LEXIE WALTERS By William Thorpe

Pictures are taken from the internet and are used for illustrative purposes only
If Kerry Dougherty is concerned with "violent geezers" committing crimes and being in positions to commit crimes, then she need not look any further than the "Oval Office", where one geezer in particular holds Court and not only is he a convicted felon but is in position to commit historic and cataclysmic crimes--which by the way he already has. My
intent isn't to engage Kerry Dougherty on the hypocrisy of her point of view but to confront its intellectual liberalism. I BEGIN: Thousands of Virginians die in all sorts of ways each year and I'm sure Kerry Dougherty isn't simply concerned with a type of death, or to add insult to injury suggesting that one humans death is of more significance than another--because that would fly in the face of why we even have Society. Yet that's exactly what Ms. Dougherty's efforts with her recent work "JUST WHAT VIRGINIA DOESN'T NEED.VIOLENT PREDATORS-MURDERERES AND RAPISTS VOMITED BACK INTO SOCIETY FROM PRISON JUST BECAUSE THEY'RE OLD "indicates and pursues.

Deploying the frat house imagery of Prisoners, "vomited back into Society" as Kerry Dougherty does, is a loser and it smells of desperation and the nihilism of her argument. She has nothing to offer save fear of Democrats and the endorsement of the dictatorship of breaking the law. Parole and its process for a type of Virginia prisoner is the law. Invoking the murder and death of Lexie Walters, is that classic strawman maneuver that has nothing to do with the institution of "justice for all". First of all, the spirit and if it is to be found principle of Ms. Dougherty position is, what is undermining Virginia's Social Contract. For starters, the only reason the murder and killing of Lexie Walters is a crime, is because of "law", the same law which parole in Virginia and its process is birthed of. What Kerry Dougherty asserts is a violation of law, in two respects.[1] Ex Post Facto and [2] Bill of Attainder. Ex Post Facto, violation is when newly enacted law is applied retroactively, which is what eligible Virginia prisoners for parole are currently experiencing and Bill of Attainder violation is the spirit of Ms. Dougherty argument. Yes the disgraced and racist ex-governor George Allen abolished parole under the guise of "Public Safety", which we knew was only a political stunt to secure the electoral supremacy of Republicans and is borne out because here we are 30 years later with Republicans singing the same ole crime song. The fact is Virginia Republicans could care less about crime or they wouldn't foster it, nurture it and inculcate is as the standard of business. Breaking the Law under the double speak of " law and order" only speaks to what is thought of the citizenry--the disdain and contempt had for the People of Virginia and we see all of its shades and nuances in Ms. Dougherty's work. There are tens of thousands of Virginians like Lexi Walters who thankfully are not murdered singularly, but and this is what elevates their predicament over singularities, they are being killed enmasse by policies of Government as in this case the Commonwealth of Virginia. Ms. Dougherty invokes the name of Lexi Walters whose experience as I've indicated earlier is due to the existence and enforcement of "law", because if it was just on the fact that fellow human kills another human, which is homicide, then there are numerous instances where the State of Virginia due to acts of its agents and officials commit homicide, a quick example is the recent killing of Aubrey McKay, a Virginia prisoner who died under the custody of the Virginia prison official at Koncentration Kamp Wallens Ridge State Prison. Virginians are killed enmasse by their sworn Government agents, yet there isn't polemic against the Commonwealth. We only see arguments as Ms. Dougherty's when the objective is in the employ of electoral machinations and I have to ask this, why are Virginia Republicans so hell bent on ruling, they never improve the terms of Virginia's Social Contract?When Ms. Dougherty argues for the violation of Virginia law, as she does in her anti-parole spiel, she ignores that she is promoting the same criminality she claims to detest, under the supposition that she is doing a common good without any hint of the realization that what she has done is a perversion of unimaginable proportions by reducing the killing of a human to the inanity of a crass talking point. A talking point that not only is intellectually liberal and disingenuous but is patently false. But after all is said and done, it sacrifices and betrays the very essence and function of law which as John Adams, besides his human flaws had the intellectual honesty, practicality and fortitude to instruct that we are a Nation of Laws and not Men. It is clearly evident Ms. Dougherty has no understanding of or according to the Machiavellian maxim, (and I paraphrase) the end justifying the means, willing to compromise the faith and trust, law provides the Citizenry and Polity by mocking it in her work, by deploying fear of Virginia Democrats against The People of Virginia. The sentiment imbued in Kerry Dougherty's work is that pathetic miasma our enlightened past and present labor against. It's simple, our dishonest and insidious proclaim so and so is "good" or "evil", while the practical and honest observes, 'apply law and its process'. If Ms. Dougherty with her anti-parole and extra-judicial advocacy assumes omniscience implying, all knowing, then she should understand the social and political need of parole, because there isn't finality in anything of our Human Condition and its Social Contract expression which is relatively and consequently humble enough and cognizant of the fact that our " judgement ", is simply that a process--which in the Commonwealth of Virginia, Law and its Process acknowledges and recognizes such with [1] The Appellate Process and all its vehicles.[2] The Pardon, Clemency and Commutation Process and [3] The Parole and Probation Process. Even in death we find law and its process operating posthumously with Exonerations and Pardons. But Kerry Dougherty and her thought care less about the construction and reform of Social Contract and its terms, instead she behaves as if the exploitation of crime, deviance or some sort of predicate as political tactic is original and novel.

Now,despite the short term gain it provides those exploiters or adherents to the Kerry "Thought" of the exploitation of fear of [fill in the blank], which in this instance is, Virginia Democrats, its long term impact on Society, due to its undermining medium on The Peoples faith and trust in the "terms" of Social Contract is abjectly and egregiously devastating. Which again its exploiters or adherents to the Kerry "thought" and its underlying and formulating aversion and antipathy to the democratization of due process of law, which that Madisonian thesis of a "more perfect union" anticipates are antithetical to and wouldn't give a flip to. As such which is why and where we encounter the Kerry Dougherty's of our polity embarking on undermining the rule of law and its due process with frat house and sophomoric imagery of prisoners "vomited back into society" if it isn't an insidious calculus, a scare tactic designed to politically exploit the devastating experienced harm of a victim of crime at their moment of helplessness.

THE CORRUPTION OF THE VIRGINIA DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS IS A PEOPLE OF VIRGINIA PROBLEM By William Thorpe

I BEGIN: Besides the work of the Virginia Prison Official being that of a narrative and what I mean, is this, in order to do what the Virginia prison official does, which is maintain Virginia's Imprisonment scheme, it requires a world view which considering the fact no one person has all the answers to anything more or less, everything, not even theology and its interpretive presumptions as justification. Then the Virginia prison official is as all things, Human Condition, hypothesizing then supposing it in narrative. The thing though is in all other aspect of Life and The Social Contract, no one assumes certitude, but Prison Officials exploit such certitude as professional privilege.  

Yes the history and practice of imprisonment in Virginia exposes itself as having nothing to do with criminality, punishment or justice, which in itself isn't excuse. However and because those who benefit from its variegated and multi purpose, have in effect perfected and mastered the minting of buzzwords as lattice and frame for the perverted construction of a world that is in effect an idea of "purpose" for their existence. So for example we have a redefinition of for starters crime or acts that actually harm and are existential to Virginia's Social Contract, based on their specific and personal interests, which in actuality are at odds with the interest of the common good of The People of Virginia.

Yes, I've described the debacle with The Virginia Department of Corrections as a People of Virginia problem, but I'm not isolating it as the only issue that is Virginia people specific and oriented. Because everything Virginia is a Virginia people problem including the perpetrators and those they subjugate and victimize. My intent isn't to lecture, proclaim or instruct. What I do is present a facet of perspective that some of us might not have or realize, which due to its lack and omission those who perpetrate actual and destructive harm not just on the individual Virginian but the collective of the Commonwealth, not as "they" (to mean the exploiters) would have us realize and understand it, but as it is.

Who amongst us thinks, for example, that Chadwick Dotson, Director of The Virginia Department of Corrections has life figured? Yet he has the presumption from the people of Virginia that he has, because you The People of Virginia gave him dictatorial powers and authority under Virginia Code 53.1-10 to do as he sees fit in treating Virginians entrusted to him as prisoners, implying that he has all the answers, as it concerns human behavior and the idea of Justice and we know that such is folly and unrealistic.

WE CALL ON THE VIRGINIA DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS TO ACTUALLY ENGAGE WITH US THE PEOPLE OF VIRGINIA IN A PUBLIC FORUM By William Thorpe


Yes The Commonwealth of Virginia has those we elect to represent The People's interest and hold accountable actions by those the People delegate authority to via the myriad of applicable means, which direct engagement by the People is basic and fundamental and irrespective of representative government and governance cannot be ceded and when circumstances arise that require direct engagement with the People of Virginia it must be honored and respected. The Virginia Department of Corrections occupies and provides a specific and unparalleled service within the terms of the Commonwealth's Social Contract.

Okay, despite the prerogatives and privileges given the Virginia Department of Corrections by the People of Virginia along with the intrinsic and implicit benefit of the doubt or deference to its Executive decisions and exclusivity. The Department isn't above reproach and scrutiny and when from all appearances and performances those elected by the People of Virginia to fulfill oversight over the Departments activities and philosophy have in principle and deed, regardless of reasons abrogated the Peoples trust and faith in their ability to do so and in order to maturely realize their responsibilities and obligations as citizens and People of Virginia, on whether to continue on with the nature of The Department or .require a fundamental reform--- The People as motive force of all that is the Commonwealth of Virginia have recourse to demand direct engagement with the Virginia Prison Official whom they have delegated and given the privilege of performing the Social Contract service of imprisoning people. The Virginia Department of Corrections, based on all available evidence has compromised and violated one of the fundamental terms of Social Contract as realized by the Human Condition and its with such recognition the People of Virginia including the Virginia Prisoner exercise the demand of direct engagement with the Department.

Oversight of governance and governmental acts means those The People have entrusted with the responsibility will have that all seeing and watchful eye of what is being done in the name of The People. A review of Court filings in Virginia Courts will show that claims and allegations of reprehensible and unbefitting behavior of The Commonwealth of Virginia have been lodged against the Virginia Prison Official over and over, repeatedly, consistently making the same claims, implying that not only isn't the requisite oversight of the Department of Corrections non existent, but that fundamental, "good moral character ", expectation and requirement of governmental action is ignored.

BLACK'S LAW 2d EDITION, defines "Good Moral Character", like this:1. A pattern of behavior that is consistent with the community's current ethical standard and that shows an absence of deceit or morally reprehensible conduct. 2 A pattern of behavior conforming to a profession's ethical standards and showing an absence of moral turpitude. Now my contention as I present it to the People of Virginia for engagement with The Virginia Department of Corrections and the Prison Official, is simply this the Department as expression of the sovereignty of The People is in complete and comprehensive violation of the "good moral character" behavior of the Virginia Prison Official.

The engagement seeked by the People of Virginia, with The Virginia Department of Corrections is specifically for educational purposes, so the People will be better equipped to vote their interest in the upcoming 2025 Statewide elections. Because the issue isn't about how something is explained away. What is being done to the Virginia prisoner in all it's variegated gradations by the Virginia prison official in the name and under the authority of The People of Virginia is adjudged by that one and only Judge, HISTORY, where the People of The current Commonwealth will either live in infamy for dereliction and complicity with all that the Human Condition struggles against or The People of the Commonwealth will eternally stand as completely realized Humans because they reclaim their authority by correcting the impunity of the Virginia prison official .
