Okay we get it Gov. Abigail Spanberger had that classic Democratic Party knee jerk fear of the "being soft on crime" slur, so she selected an apparatchik, a cog in the VADOC (Virginia Department of Corrections) machinery of impunity, as its new Director and this is where and why she and her incoming team are susceptible to the thoughtless and unforced error critique and criticism, because, Gov. Spanberger had ample evidence, from Local, National and even International media that simply picking from the rotted apples of the existing apparatchik of VADOC Directorate would be cataclysmic and indicative of that, political kryptonite, "incompetence". Listed below are media accounts that not only indicts the still existing and constituted VADOC Leadership but exposes Gov. Spanberger's nominee, Joseph W. Walters as accessory, complicit and a co-conspirator in the underpinning dehumanization of the Virginia Prisoner, who needless I add wasn't imprisoned to be dehumanized.

Walters, unlike her pick to head Virginia's Department of Homeland Security, STANLEY MEADOR, was ethically and politically radioactive. This unforced error selection of Joseph W. Walters by Spanberger, coming out of the gate isn't an automatic and irredeemable disqualifier of her incipient and nascent Governorship tenure, hell Ralph Northam survived his "blackface" bigotry and evidenced the capacity for historical redress, so yes Gov. Spanberger has a tableau of potential. Nonetheless, what this moment of her selection for Director of VADOC requires and demands is it's rejection and non-confirmation, by Virginia's Senate. Accordingly we call upon all Virginians cognitive of the perfection of unity among the people to lend their voice and energies in demanding the rejection of Joseph W Walters and his impunity as Director of The Virginia Department of Corrections. The first step and foundation of that perfection of unity of the people, is "equality under law".

THE PEOPLE OF VIRGINIA ARE NATURALLY DEVASTATED THAT GOVERNOR ABIGAIL SPANBERGER IS ENABLING THE IMPUNITY OF THE VIRGINIA PRISON OFFICIAL WITH HER SELECTION FOR DIRECTOR OF VADOC, BUT IT PRESENTS OPPORTUNITY FOR A DEBATE THAT HAS BEEN A LONG TIME COMING By William Thorpe

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

Let's be clear Governor Abigail Spanberger picked a cog in the status quo machinery of impunity to head VADOC or The Virginia Department of Corrections, because as a Democrat she is averse to the susceptibility euphemistic critique of "being soft on crime", and that's the whole point, for too long we have allowed, permitted and tolerated the existence of euphemistic narratives, that brazenly wink and nod their intent, while we act like, we don't know what's going on. Governor Spanberger chose a Virginia Prison Official, to become Director of VADOC who, during the period when imprisoned Virginians were self-immolating themselves, setting themselves on fire in protest of prison conditions and treatment, that he supported and defended its creation was collecting Virginia tax payer provided pay checks. Now, The Commonwealth of Virginia has been operating a Prison System for centuries and never have those it imprisoned resorted to self-immolation as speech in protest of conditions, till the watch of the previous Governor, Republican Glenn Youngkin and his henchman, former Director of VADOC, Chadwick Dotson and that's the team and "good ole boys club" Spanberger's pick to succeed Dotson, Joseph W. Walters, came from and labored under ensuring that it's (and by all and any standards) contra and antipathy to Virginia's rehabilitated and reformed Constitution continued, its philosophy and practice of dehumanizing the Virginia Prisoner. The question isn't whether Abigail Spanberger, knew and understood this, of course she did, because who didn't sit up and ponder why prisoners would set themselves on fire, but its why would she compromise the value sets, that for example drove over 70% of young Virginians to vote for her, thus enabling her triumph over the reactionary world view of the Virginia Republican? And its response is how I started this work, because, the Democratic Party has forever yielded and therefore tangoed with susceptibility to that euphemistic "being soft on crime" slur, which we The People are just as much complicit in permitting its formulation and existence as The Democratic Party. "Harm", by human to fellow human has always been an aspect of the human condition, if I'm to piggy back on the Biblical, wherever there are more than three, I'm with you and say wherever there are two people, the dialectic of "harm" is present, the question however is its resolution and its structure has developed along with the organization of the means and mechanisms of realizing the business of being human or that acquisition and its process of the necessities and wants of human existence. If "harm" is a destabilizer and interference of realizing the business of being human, then the means, mechanisms and process of its resolution is intended as its stabilizer, which is what Law or the terms and relations of the Social Contract, or that approximate cooperation, necessary for that business of being human, is enacted to satisfy. In contemporary Virginia Society and its Social Contract, crime exist as its result, meaning Law defines crime and the Virginia Department of Corrections is a mechanism of its process. So what then does the slur, "soft on crime" mean and why are Democrats susceptible to it, when Law exist not as a Democrat or Republican construct but as process of Virginia's democracy? and if Law when enacted exist as expression of collective will, isn't a after the fact summary redefinition then illegal, unlawful, extra-judicial and violative?

THE POLITICAL AND LEADERSHIP RAMIFICATIONS OF GOVERNOR ABIGAIL SPANBERGER'S PICK FOR DIRECTOR OF THE VIRGINIA DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS FOR THE PEOPLE OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF VIRGINIA By William Thorpe

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

Candidate Abigail Spanberger, if I'm to use the parlance of the World of Virginia's Tennis Icon Arthur Ashe, feted with base on Richmond's Monument Avenue, "aced" the servings of the political issues and questions of her 2025 gubernatorial Campaign to become Governor of The Commonwealth of Virginia. An accomplishment, notwithstanding it's historic nature of her emergence as First Female and Woman Governor of The Commonwealth of Virginia was already at Match Point, considering the fundamental, again to use the tennis parlance, straightforward serving of the issues and questions, which were, the affordability of life and existence in the Commonwealth. In other words the Politics of the moment was a straightforward serving and all she had to do was ace it by speaking to it. This recognition and capacity to articulate it has nothing to do with Leadership and in no way, form or manner does it indicate such. Candidate Spanberger's capacity to articulate or humanize the circumstances of affordability confronting the Virginian, wasn't in itself as I've pointed out indicative of leadership, which its expression would require a willingness to excavate the fact for the people of Virginia, that the issue and question of affordability of life and existence required and requires a more systemic and structural scrutiny and revelatory analysis, and that will require the originality of and ability of leadership, because unraveling the nature of "affordability", requires the courage to confront its orthodoxy and status quo underpinnings. I BEGIN: Just because Candidate Abigail Spanberger gave us the PG-13-articulation of "affordability" doesn't mean its more mature and primordial nature disappeared, because it now stands arrayed in all of its inexorability demanding the husbandry of leadership, which Governor Abigail Spanberger with her selection of Joseph W. Walters as the next Director of The Virginia Department of Corrections, is showing she hasn't found and lacks. The PG-13-affordability critique, on whose sails Governor Spanberger glided into history as Virginia's First Female Governor, was an end of a more diabolical phenomenon, that of the destruction of the process and terms of the Social Contract in two aspects, Nationally and State, which Abigail Spanberger clearly recognized because even though she wasn't explicit in stating such, its intimation was a latent backdrop because, what is affordable life and existence if there isn't any fair administration of law, as Social Contract terms, giving process to the necessary transactions of value exchange and its stability. So Ms. Spanberger was well aware that without that respect and subordination to the rule of law and its process, any discussion, debate and critique of affordability was moot, tantamount to that proverbial fiddling while Rome burned. Candidate and now Governor, Abigail Spanberger knew that the primary and only significant and relevant question facing Virginia as well as the Nation was and is IMPUNITY and its DICTATORSHIP. In Virginia its most prevalent and pernicious existence is in the form and professional behavior of the Virginia Prison Official and if Abigail Spanberger as Governor of Virginia is expected to and would be able to confront, that more basic impunity and it's dictatorship careening with its National aspect, how in the hell can she do so when not only is she affirming but endorsing it by selecting a cog in its Virginia machinery for Director of Virginia's Department of Corrections.

YOU KNOW ITS TIME THE PEOPLE OF VIRGINIA, SAID WAIT A MINUTE WHAT EXACTLY IS THE VIRGINIA PRISON OFFICIAL DOING AND WHAT DOES ANY OF IT HAVE TO DO WITH THE CONVICTION OF A LAW VIOLATION By William Thorpe

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

Recently the push for legislative action on Virginia Prisoner visitation was spoken on a bit in, parts of Virginia's media and the experience of a Virginia citizen from Fredericksburg, visiting a loved one at Virginia's Greensville Prison was shared. First of all the gist of her account was how a Virginia prison official at Greensville summarily determined that the blouse she had on was inappropriate. You know I'm a Virginia prisoner but exiled to the Texas prison system, but under Virginia's Jurisdiction and my primary focus has unconditionally been on the accountability-function of the prison official, because every data point and metric of the imprisonment-condition and its circumstance, is about the prison official's presumptions of irreproachability and its subsequent impunity and I write enough on it and it isn't like the WVTF story on Michelle G.'s visitation experience at Greensville was an epiphany or eureka moment but what it presented was again that without qualification, in stark relief fraudulence and charade of an enterprise, that despite its legitimate human conditional utility and actual historical formulations, has appropriated those historical formulations of "justice" and the pursuit of repairing harm and under its pretext incorrigibly labored to continue a practice, a political-economy construct of the most debased imaginable, that of chattel enslavement, which contrary to the theological narrative of "original sin", is the one and only bane and nemesis of the Human Condition. So what we encounter are those tell tale signature stamp reminders that Virginia's imprisonment circumstance and its prison condition has nothing to do with that speculative application of "justice" and its current verbiage of "public safety", because everything about the imprisonment circumstance indicates that induced schizophrenia of a corrupt and deceitful intent. First of all where do we have evidence that to create and present a functional socio-person, (which Virginia's imprisonment scheme claims anticipation) the process is that of dehumanization? And what the People of Virginia have to realize is the lexicon and vocabulary of the Virginia Prison Official, is functional double speak or euphemistic, intentionally constructed for the purpose and work of dehumanizing the Virginia prisoner, which is also why the Virginia prison official is eel-like slippery against accountability and I apologize to eels for the metaphor. The point is and I challenge not the incorrigible Virginia prison official but their apologist who do so in the good faith that, imprisonment as expression of the fair administration of Law is a necessary fact of Society, which I agree, that yes a Society has to have a mechanism of administering its laws and even prison abolitionist don't argue or debate this, the issue however is the Frankensteinism of it. Virginia's imprisonment circumstance is a Frankenstein creation struggling to hide and conceal the fact that its ulterior motive is the exploitation of the compromise of the 13th Amendment to The Constitution of The United States, that despite the Civil War that subjected abolishment of slavery onto the slave owning States, it Nationalized slavery, with its ".....except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction".We see this because, if as the Virginia prison official touts a preparation of the prisoner for reentry into Society, why is the imprisonment circumstance asocial?

CONGRATULATIONS ARE REQUIRED FOR FAMILY AND FRIENDS OF THE VIRGINIA PRISONER FOR THE MATURE RECOGNITION THAT THE ACCOUNTABILITY-FUNCTION OF VIRGINIA PRISON REFORM IS INHERENTLY ABOUT SHARING AND ELEVATING ISSUES AS MAIN STREAM TOPICS By William Thorpe

That Community and State wide exhalation of accomplishment and relief, by The Families, Friends and collectively the People of Virginia at the fact that Chadwick Dotson, Director of Virginia's Prison System, has finally got his good riddance and Governor-Elect Abigail Spanberger can spend some of her good-will with the People and present her grasp of that necessary accountability-function as applied towards the Virginia Prison Official, by setting its tone, with the replacement. For too long we have allowed conniving minds amongst The People to pounce on, seize and subsequently exploit the already fraught issue and circumstance of "harm" caused by criminal violations, as mechanism of their business of securing their realized socio-personhood intentions. Whether and specifically those who would assume political-leadership in the Commonwealth of Virginia actually give "thought" to resolving those natural occurring contradictions and the much basic antagonism of the Commonwealth's Social Contract other than and besides tactical formulations presented by Campaign Managers and Political Consultants has always been a question of the intellectual and emotional tolerance of the people. Or when both the people and their political leaders regardless of reason will not confront the status quo of dysfunction, the emergence of its critical mass then imposes its dialectic regardless of the social contracts narrative-will and capability, demanding resolution, meaning the People, irrespective of tolerance threshold are now compelled to pay attention and embody that simple but encapsulating," of, by and for the people", and its maturtity of recognition that they are not mere part time stake holders or its objective, its subjects, despite the Social Contracts narrative, but are "the" Social Contract or its motive and life force. Which is what the People of The Commonwealth of Virginia spearheaded by and with the efforts and energies of Families and Friends of the Virginia Prisoner recognized and realized with the Electoral Process or November 2025 culminating in the historic emergence and triumph of Abigail Spanberger, that the proverbial "wheels were off the cart", in all aspects of the Commonwealth's Social Contract, meaning Virginia was at its critical mass horizon. Because when imprisoned Virginia citizens are compelled to speak with the desperation of self-immolation, setting themselves on fire, there is nothing Virginia society and the people can do, save to collectively pause, sit up and recognize that, No, this isn't what Virginia is constituted as, nor its aspirations for. Further indication of the dysfunction reaching and attaining critical mass was the fundamentally corrupt nature of the response from the then Executive of the Commonwealth Governor Glenn Youngkin and his Director of The Virginia Department of Corrections, Chadwick Dotson, both downplaying the enormity and the bizarreness of prisoners of the State of Virginia setting themselves on fire as speech in protest of the savage and barbarous conditions of imprisonment. To say that the response from the Youngkin Administration and Dotson's Directorate were revelatory of moral failings belies the fact that, its dismissiveness and cavalier existence is the "normal" character stance, philosophy and political position towards the Virginia prisoner by Virginia Republicans. Family and Friends of the Virginia Prisoner exposed it.
