THE DEHUMANIZATION OF THE VIRGINIA PRISONER IS ALSO AN ATTACK ON THE NON-IMPRISONED VIRGINIA PEOPLE By William Thorpe

I BEGIN: When there isn't any way and guide forward, when despite, self-delusional myths of existence, collective narcissism and its antagonistic pathology on the body politic, the default reaction, and this holds true across the breadth and depth of our Human Condition, is to dehumanize, to see something other in that other human, whose existence is what defacto defines the integrity of self-existence. What concerns me, because I'm a prisoner under Virginia's jurisdiction, is the unoriginal logic of dehumanization plyed by the Commonwealth of Virginia in its detention schemes. What also concerns me is how The Virginian, or People of Virginia ignore and are seemingly oblivious to the fact that if they are unseen, unheard and dismissed by each other in all forms and levels of interaction, it firstly is a result of their winking and nodding to the dehumanization of the Virginia prisoner. Let me qualify what in saying, nothing I'm saying is new, if there is any novelty to this work, its that of being a reminder, that attention to and is required of unforeseen consequences, when due to the myriad obligations and distractions of social interactions, relations and intersections we become that adage which our Vietnamese brothers and sisters have given us, "be mindful that when you go to slay the dragon you don't become it" or in this context accepting the dehumanization of humans who are imprisoned is in turn self-dehumanizing. Society i.e. the Commonwealth of Virginia are not built or constructed on the distortion of short sightedness, which is the operative of a type of world view, which the Virginia prison official and their allies are perennially afflicted with. Short sightedness whether in the Policy realm of Government and governance or in the world view of the individual Virginian, is always self-contradictory, because the assumption is its a pursuit of self-interest, which idealistically it is, but its also at the expense of that other adage, "the devil is in the details ". So for example the Virginia prison official wants to be respected, acknowledged and recognized as first and foremost, a Professional, secondly, a full and all around developed Human and citizen of Virginia and all of this materialized upon the job of a Prison Official. However, the reality is the Virginia prison official isn't respected, acknowledged or recognized by the People of Virginia save for allies who are also just as reviled, because what the People of Virginia recognize in the prison official is a corrupt entity who breaks and violates the law in the treatment of prisoners under their care and authority. It isn't that the People of Virginia are at odds with accountability and its various forms according to their social contract, which includes imprisonment, but they expect it is done under law and the uncompromising recognition of humanness. Here is an anecdote that was reported by one of the media in Newport News, Virginia, the occasion was how the Commonwealth of Virginia in the form of its Koncentration Kamp Red Onion State Prison informed a Mother of the death of her just turned 21 imprisoned son, who allegedly committed suicide, after the Mother had repeatedly called the prison, with none of the officials with the authority responding to her, finally a Nurse dismissed the death.

IMAGINE A JOB WHERE YOU'RE NEVER WRONG, NOR MAKE MISTAKES: WELCOME TO THE VIRGINIA PRISON OFFICIAL AND THE EMBODIMENT OF CORRUPTION By William Thorpe

I BEGIN: Even in War, actual kinetic existence, Soldiers tasked with the effort and its work admit to errors, mistakes, miscalculations, idealistic formulations, all expressions and forms of being wrong or mistakes. In other words their work of War is intrinsically and inherently "honest", due to the unforgiving nature of it, meaning if Officers of War allow and permit themselves to get caught up in suppositions and its idealistic superficiality, not only will their lives be lost but of those whom they hold dear and all that consisted and constructed the historicity of their existence. Notwithstanding this inherent "honesty" of War, there are always those corrupt Officers of War, regardless of reason who betray its requisite homage and history is replete with their folly. I have said all of this to get to this, we are told the Commonwealth of Virginia's Justice Infrastructure is one in Battle Orders in a "War on crime" and the Virginia Prison Official is a fundamental and primary component and element in its practice, as such the People of Virginia have said, their highest expression of "value" as understood by the allocation of the lion's share of the Commonwealth's productivity is towards the funding of The Virginia Department of Corrections and its Prisons. Now this work is not a polemic against the Virginia Prison Official, or The Virginia Department of Corrections or even the fact that the people of Virginia value above every thing else, even the Education of our children and accessibility to real medical and health care for all Virginians, its prison system and the static economy, it stands on. But what this work focuses on is the fraud and antagonistic relationship the Virginia Prison Official holds and maintains with the actual terms and basis of Virginia's Social Contract, because of the one and simple fact: the Virginia Prison Official is incapable of admitting failings and instead consistently does that most abject base of human behavior, which is "blaming", whether its the Virginia prisoner supposedly in the prison official's care, despite the fact the prison official claims to be waging war on the prisoner, or political opponents of its allies and supporters. In other words the Virginia Prison official has been able to subvert and turn on its head a standard of measure all other Virginians are subjected to, which is the accountability of admitting a failing or a mistake and this subversion exist and is only possible because the People of Virginia regardless of reason are complicit in its existence. We would think that defacto scrutiny of the Virginia Prison official activities would flow accordingly due to the fact the work of the Virginia Prison official of all the other myriad examples is the most speculative, yet true to form is the least scrutinized because of the fact it is inherently corrupt. What I mean by its corrupt inherency, is this, if all human activity and behavior has an economic determinant defined by its valuation, then guarding prisoners, which defines the Virginia Prison official isn't exempt and as a matter of fact is even more beholden to and subject to its dynamic. So the Virginia Prison official will only do that which will ensure their existence and will support the type of politics that cater to them, thereby establishing a symbiotic existence and relationship with it. We see this, we see Virginia Republicans supporting to a fault any and all cockamamie stunts and endeavors played by the prison official.

WE HAVE TO ASK THE RIGHT QUESTIONS TO HOLD THE VIRGINIA PRISON OFFICIAL AND THEIR POLITICAL ALLIES ACCOUNTABLE By William Thorpe

I BEGIN: IF the Justice Infrastructure is an expression of a type of Politics, which it is then there isn't anything to debate that it is biased. What I mean by bias, is this, let's recall what one of our ancients in the American context, John Adams instructed. and I paraphrase, that our Nation was one of Laws and not men. Which is to say, in furtherance and the advancement of James Madison's Constitutional anticipation of a "more perfect union", there had to be accountability, which law aspires, or in otherwords because of the clear recognition that the foundation of Society, is our humanness or humanity, which the Great Schizophrenic Thomas Jefferson recognized in the declaration of Independence and I paraphrase that Americans in rebellion against the British King George III, were presenting the reasons for the rebellion to the witness of the Peoples of the world as justification. Or practically seeking humanities general understanding of the right to respond to unjust and intolerable conditions under the without qualifications of Natural law, despite our intrinsic dictatorial nature, presumptions and bias, which Adams recognized with his instruction are at odds with society's obligations and accountability. Needless I add despite the truth of, Adams, Madison and Jefferson's understandings and asserted polemics, the consequences of their hypocrisies, due to their inabilities and unwillingness to extend that same speech onto relations with Black People is why I'm having to do this work in the context of Virginia's Justice Infrastructure and the Prison Official, in 2025. So the question is clear and simple, despite the fact we are ourselves due to Society and in this case Virginia Society, we are naturally biased and when we are then given the privilege of embodying the State as functionaries and as it relates to this work, the Virginia Prison Official, society cannot and theoretically it doesn't simply trust that its members who now have on uniforms will do the appropriate thing. Society anticipates the natural human bias, by having laws and process which society is in turn subordinated to. However humans embodying the State, in this case the Virginia prison official will still figure out ways to manipulate their bias, into the execution of their professional duties which in effect undermines and perverts the very purpose of the law and process. The only way such bias can be remedied is in the ability to question. But there is another aspect to this, which is even though the construction and structuring of society is law and its process upon the acknowledgement of accountability, meaning the process of questioning, there is a fly in the questioning ointment and its characterized as, "Standing", meaning to hold those embodying the State as in the Virginia prison official accountable, requirements of "Standing" must be met and this "standing" aspect has a more arcane origin, which quite frankly is at odds with the recognition of a human being, now and as it was then. I want to make this point, we have allowed, tolerated and permitted imprisonment practices that make a mockery of our genus as HOMOSAPIENS, because what Virginia's imprisonment practices say isn't just the fact The Commonwealth cannot wash its hands off savagery and barbarism, but the nature of imprisonment is simply unable to answer to the fundamental question of, " Why", in otherwords because of the fact the simple," why" isn't asked the Virginia Department of Corrections and its Prison Official haven't had to justify practices that meet the generalized billing of savagery and barbarism.

WHEN THE CATS' AWAY By William Thorpe

The completion of the adage is.....THE MICE WILL PLAY and the CAT, is the People of Virginia and of course the MICE are the Virginia Department of Corrections. Why is this adage apt, because it concisely fits the behavior of the Virginia Prison Official. The People of Virginia regardless of reasons and assumptions have neglected their responsibilities, which as it applys to this work, is paying attention to and understanding what is being done in their name by the Virginia Department of Corrections and its prison official. First of all let's all be clear on this the Virginia Prisoner is not an enemy combatant, or member of an opposing army nor an insurgent, despite the fatuous verbiage of "war on crime" deployed and exploited by political shortsightedness. The Virginia prisoner is simply a human being, a Virginia citizen processed under Virginia's Justice and Legal infrastructure and imprisoned. In other words just as The Supreme Court of The United States, deployed the formulation, "significant and atypical hardship" as due process distinction in prison conditions, Constitutional DUE PROCESS adjudication, every single Virginian can excpect to experience imprisonment under Virginia's Justice Infrastructure not as an extraordinary occurrence but as part of, again under The Nations highest Court jurisprudence, the ordinary incidents of life. So in other words if any Virginian can experience Virginia's imprisonment scheme then, the mere pedestrian fact of imprisonment doesn't then cause and assume diametric transformation of citizen into an enemy combatant, which currently is the conventional wisdom applied viz, imprisonment in Virginia. Whether or not the Virginia prison official is a corrupt and malfeasant embodiment is an argument laid out in the various lawsuits, claims, allegations efforts by Virginia prisoners petitioning government. What this work is concerned with is the point and position that, the Commonwealth of Virginia is a lawless construct without The People understanding and filling their role as The People, final arbiter of all things Human Condition, Social Contract and Society. There's nothing complicated and disingenuous about the recognition that imprisonment in Virginia wasn't originally and historically constructed in pursuit of "Justice", however we are where we are with it and it cannot have one foot in antebellum Plantationesque presumptions and its intellectual-liberalism, while the other is playing footsie in modernity, the democratization of the rule of law and in communion and association with the civilizing aspirations of Human progress. Imprisonment in Virginia is the effect of imposition of sentence for a set period and within that set period are all sorts of mechanisms acknowledging and recognizing that the imprisonment could have been a travesty of justice for any number of reasons, because there is nothing that's infallible. The Virginia prison official is one tasked with operating under law and not above it, yet due to the Rip Van Winkle aspect of The Virginia People's attention, the Virginia prison official has relatively sneered, smirked and become pretentious in observing those Social Contract privileges of relationships with The People of Virginia.

IN STRENGTH SISTAH ASSATA By William Thorpe

 

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

Sistah Assata Shakur passed today, 9/25/25 in Cuba. She had been living in Cuba, granted asylum, due to criminal charges from The United States. On accusations of criminal violations, what I say and what the only relevant arbiter of our human deeds, HISTORY says is this: Whatever Sistah Assata Shakur's (also formerly known under the enslaved name, Joanne Chesimard) crimes were, it wasn't any greater than the collective individual crimes and criminality that built and constructed these United States and yes the two faced hypocrisy of our Social Contract can accuse and charge her with criminal violations, causing her to flee to Cuba, just as Anglo-Saxons fled to these Native American lands of North America, under exact circumstances and conditions as Assatas'. The only indictment and charge to be examined is that of our human conditional relations, which her world view and Politics focused and breathed on, that it causes grief to which we idealistically ascribe to "sin", as some sort of generic surrogacy. Sistah Assata embodies the universalities of Assatas whose names echo in odes, BAYETE SISTAH ASSATA, AVE !!!
