LETS STOP GIVING OUR VIRGINIA POLITICIANS A PASS ON THE MESS AND CHARNEL HOUSE THATS THE PRISON SYSTEM By William Thorpe

Awright let me start with this case JOHNSON v. RAPPAHANNOCK REG'L JAIL AUTH.2024 U.S. DIST. LEXIS 102074.The focus of my work is on Virginia's Government and its Department of Correction, because I'm under its jurisdiction as a Virginia prisoner. Then opportunities are presented that make the case that all that is wrong with Virginia's Justice Infrastructure and its exercise of imprisonment and detention isn't only limited to the Virginia prison official, but it extends to Virginia Jails. Read and study the above Johnson case and see for your self that there are systemic barbarity and savagery inculcated through and within Virginia's Government. Ms. Jemika Johnson, the protagonist in the above indicated case was subjected to and experienced the sort of harm that can only be characterized as primordial, primeval and anti-person and human, by her society, her community, The Social Contract of The Commonwealth and Government. It wasn't and isn't an anomaly, it wasn't some sort of exception, a confluence of tragic and unforeseen circumstances. What Ms. Johnson was subjected to by those 12 or so Rappahannock Jail authorities is a typical state and nature of Virginia's system of justice. The detention and confinement of Ms. Johnson by her fellow citizens and its subsequent deprivation of her citizenship and humanness evidenced by the savage treatment meted out to her consequently extended to, as a mockery, reduction and compromise of any and all claims Virginia's Social Contract has towards the affirmation of human development and progress. Our Virginia status quo have forever proclaimed and heralded the notion that within the Commonwealth life and its dignity is sacrosanct. Well we know that to be a lie and an exploited one at that. Rappahannock Jail officials and authorities, in the case and matter of JEMIKA JOHNSON, proved its a lie. Because not only was Ms. Johnson's humanity ignored and violated but it was discarded as (fill in your choice adjective) then it was compounded by the death of her baby, born in a solitary Rappahannock jail cell, by her lonesome-self, all because this destructive apathy, indifference and callousness of Virginia's government and its human agents have been allowed and permitted to normalize savagery and barbarity against our constituent personhood. Look people, read and study the case of Jemika Johnson cited above and as you grow indignant pause and realize that, WE THE PEOPLE are to blame .Look, LAW and its DUE PROCESS are a social cohesive and its purpose isn't to abuse, mistreat and mock our pronouncements on aspirations, which is what Virginia's justice infrastructure perversely does well. We are lectured to by our hypocrisies at the expense of brazen acts of violations by our lecturers. Facts that testify and indict our complicity to the brazen. Nonetheless, Ms.Jemika Johnson's experiences are not in vain. Our ancients have instructed that injustice isn't specific but a generality, which Ms. Johnson's travails reminds us. It reminds us that savagery isn't limited to the Virginia Department of Corrections, Officials but what it also energetically enables is, establishing with clarity that the ills and extra-judicial tendencies of Virginia's justice infrastructure, to wit its organized violence is, it presents the question without ambiguity that, our elected representatives are incapable of robustly debating and resolving these systemic contradictions of Virginia's imprisonment schemes.

THE PEOPLE OF VIRGINIA WE NEED A HONEST POLITICS, THAT SAME OLD TIRED PLAY OF DOUBLE SPEAK WITH ITS, WINKING AND NODDING, FINGERS CROSSED BEHIND THE BACK WHILE THE VIRGINIA PRISON OFFICIAL SAVAGES THE PRISONER, IS PAST DUE AND STATE SENATOR RUSSETT PERRY WHAT ARE YOU DOING? By William Thorpe

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

Okay Virginia State Senator Russett Perry, recently told us that she trooped through a number of Virginia Prisons. Then she posited that, nah she opined, okay she intoned, you know what, she declared that prison reform is a nonpartisan or bipartisan issue, to which considering that I'm a prisoner under Virginia's jurisdiction, of course I responded that she's wrong. However before we can even begin to appreciate the seriousness of Virginia's Justice Infrastructure and the subsequent necessary reform of its prison system and its Virginia Department of Corrections, Senator Russett Perry has to give us the why to the existence of this: not only is it incredulous but quite frankly, unseeming. On what grounds is Senator Perry claiming to speak for reform of Virginia's organized violence expressed as its prison system, when there isn't record of her calling out the profanity of and undermining of The People of Virginia's faith and trust not only in Law, but the foundational politics by the spectacle of Virginia Republicans led by Governor Glenn Youngkin and Attorney General Jason Miyares embracing, supporting and defending the sex assault adjudged and 34 felony count convicted ex-president Donald Trump. Its incongruous for any Virginia leader or politician to speak about, Law and Order this, Values that, Morality, Ethics, Justice, Due Process and Equality Under Law and all of those other opportunistic and convenient social narratives intended to affirm The Social Contract at the expense of and without categorically denouncing and repudiating, those Virginians who embrace The Nation's most notorious criminal, Ex-president Donald Trump. So it's against this rubric we evaluate Senator Russett Perry's SPEECH, meaning her act of touring Virginia prisons. As a State Senator, Ms.Perry has at her disposal the "will" OF THE PEOPLE OF VIRGINIA, as resource to undertake any and all that's necessary to educate WE THE PEOPLE, which I have described as providing us with HONEST politics, by actually giving us what ACCOUNTABILITY finally looks like, in contrast to the pro forma, performative and theatrics of trooping to a Virginia prison under the pretense of what? When if Senator Russett Perry and any of her inclined colleagues want to gives us the honesty of a NEW POLITICS,that doesn't make a mockery and caricature of THE TRANSPARENCY OF ACCOUNTABILITY, where they should start and begin is by cataloguing and analyzing claims and cases filed in court by the Virginia prisoner, regardless of outcome or disposition which will give her and her colleagues a clear, unbiased and unadulterated idea of the state and nature of Virginia's prisons. Upon which she can then expand her understanding by communications with prisoner families,loved ones, friends also Advocacy groups.Then she can continue her education, by reviewing complaints and grievances filed by prisoners at the various Virginia Department of Corrections Regional Districts, then is when she exercises her subpoena authority over The Prison Official, by accessing all relevant material necessary for oversight,THEN she talks to THE PRISONER.

OUR VIRGINIA CORPORATE MEDIA ARE SELLING US OUT, THE RICHMOND-TIMES AND DISPATCH, THE VIRGINIAN PILOT, BRISTOL HERALD COURIER ARE COMPLICIT IN HARMING THE PEOPLE OF VIRGINIA BY THEIR REPREHENSIBLE SILENCE ON THE SAVAGERY OF THE VIRGINIA PRISON OFFICIAL By William Thorpe

When a Virginia prisoner is accused of harming, The Virginia Department of Corrections hurriedly sends out press releases to Virginia's Corporate Media, to which the media quickly presses in its publications and on its Web sites. During the Governorship of the racist George Allen, and his macaca infamy, Virginia Republicans abolished parole for Virginia prisoners. During its so-called debate, Virginia's Corporate Media, The Richmond-Times and Dispatch in particular went over and beyond in carrying water for George Allen and his stooges, by propagandizing, Republican talking points and their bizarre and outlandish crystal ball speculations, that such and such harm wouldn't had befallen such and such individual had parole not existed and had been abolished. The Richmond-Times gave us full page spreads amplifying George Allen's opportunistic ravings, in pursuit of his no parole fetish, which we now have proof was, because, Republicans again are claiming that Virginia has a crime problem, which we were told abolishing parole in 1995,would solve. I state all of this to say this: as People of Virginia we have to start reminding our Media that its function isn't to kowtow to partisan speculations, which we emphatically indict its systemic behavior of, yes it can still push a partisan tilt but as it presents to THE PEOPLE the requisite facts of an event. So for example, the argument isn't against THE SOCIAL COHESIVE function of LAW, but the argument is Virginia's Corporate Media is doing Virginia's SOCIAL CONTRACT a disservice when it presents political ideological speculations as ascertained, proven and established facts at the expense of its disastrous consequences. The abolishment of Parole in Virginia hasn't created one iota of fact that it improved and matured Virginia's SOCIAL CONTRACT. Just think about this the current Attorney General of The Commonwealth of Virginia, Jason Miyares has given us one of the most despicable displays of human contrivance when he wished and pined for recently released Virginia prisoners to effect a crime spree, meaning he wants Virginians harmed, all because, the abolishment of parole as political exploitation by Republicans isn't working as such the refuge desperate precipice of Republican Political Thought is to wish for a crime wave. We wouldn't have this as spectacle had our media actually presented the question of PAROLE, not as a liability or deficiency, an antebellum hold back of reactionary distraction, because the reality is, Virginia's justice infrastructure and its prison system is not healthy. I challenge THE RICHMOND-TIMES AND DISPATCH along with its Sisters, to scrutinize the claims in these below listed Virginia prisoner filed cases in Virginia Federal Courts and give us the ask, why are Virginia prisoners making such claims against Virginia's Prison Officials who have the privilege of the Virginia tax payer and are sworn to uphold law, yet are violating it.(1) GRUBB V. SMITH 2024 U.S DIST. LEXIS 70062 (2) JOHNSON V. CHAFFIN 2024 U.S. DIST. LEXIS 131645 (3) SMITH V. LARD 2024 U.S.DIST. LEXIS 3648 (4) ALLEN V. HURLEY 2024 U.S.DIST. LEXIS 143997 (5) OUALIA V.

CREGGER 2024 U.S. DIST. LEXIS 35270 (10) ADAMS V .HORNE 2024 U.S. DIST. LEXIS 21519.Will our media treat prisoner claims as it does press releases?

"QUALIFIED IMMUNITY," YES, YOU'VE HEARD OF IT BUT DID YOU KNOW THAT THE SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES HOCUS POCUSED IT INTO EXISTENCE IN 1967? By William Thorpe

People, people, people its about us, its always about us, meaning our interests, our understanding and our ability to speak up. So I begin with this excerpt from a ruling by THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT, in the case ESTATE OF JONES v. CITY OF MARTINSBURG 961 F.3d 661 (2020). The opinion was delivered by Circuit Judge Floyd joined by Chief Judge Gregory and Circuit Judge Thacker."WAYNE JONES WAS KILLED JUST OVER ONE YEAR BEFORE THE FERGUSON, MISSOURI SHOOTING OF MICHAEL BROWN WOULD ONCE AGAIN DRAW NATIONAL SCRUTINY TO POLICE SHOOTING OF BLACK PEOPLE IN THE UNITED STATES......ALTHOUGH WE RECOGNIZE THAT OUR POLICE OFFICERS ARE OFTEN ASKED TO MAKE SPLIT SECOND DECISIONS WE EXPECT THEM TO DO SO WITH RESPECT FOR THE DIGNITY AND WORTH OF BLACK LIVES.BEFORE THE INK DRIED ON THIS OPINION THE FBI OPENED AN INVESTIGATION INTO YET ANOTHER DEATH OF A BLACK MAN AT THE HANDS OF POLICE,THIS TIME GEORGE FLOYD IN MINNEAPOLIS. THIS HAS TO STOP.TO AWARD QUALIFIED IMMUNITY AT THE SUMMARY JUDGEMENT STAGE IN THIS CASE WOULD SIGNAL ABSOLUTE IMMUNITY FOR FEAR-BASED USE OF DEADLY FORCE,WHICH WE CANNOT ACCEPT." (By the way, The Fourth Circuit, is the federal jurisdiction for The States of Maryland, West Virginia, Virginia, North Carolina and South Carolina).I start with this excerpt on the issue of "QUALIFIED IMMUNITY" because the robust and aggressive recent assertiveness of supremacy and racism, has made its existence known to the Joe and Jane Blows of society as such, true to the adage if you wanna hide something expose it. The present focus on "QUALIFIED IMMUNITY" despite,the correctness of identifying its insidious harm, by the good, well intended and progressive minds amongst us, has naturally ran up against the reaction of those who exploit it, evidenced by the stunt by U.S.Senator Tim Scott in its pathetic defense. So a basic explanation of QUALIFIED IMMUNITY is this, THE SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES IN 1967,came up with a scheme, (in the case, PIERSON v. RAY 386 U.S.547 (1967), a case, true to all things America and our foundation was RACE BASED and its RESISTANCE), that practically says, our GOVERNMENT THAT WRITES AND ENACTS LAWS, upon violating it, can abrogate its responsibility to repairing the harm with the gimmick that the law wasn't clearly established so we cannot hold it accountable or liable for the harm caused by the violation. The history of this gimmick, typically is anti-THE PEOPLE. I say typically, because notwithstanding the existence of a quasi-stability of (for this work) the terms of Virginia's SOCIAL CONTRACT and its relations, which, when violated, we see it repeatedly invoked by the Virginia prison official in excuse of their barbarity. The case JAMISON v. McCLENDON 476 F.Supp.3d 386 (2020) gives us one of the most comprehensive and honest examination of not only the origin and history of QUALIFIED IMMUNITY but most importantly its nefarious purpose, by Federal Judge Carlton W. Reeves of THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE 5th CIRCUIT of MISSISSIPPI SOUTHERN DISTRICT, who said "ONCE,QUALIFIED IMMUNITY PROTECTED OFFICERS WHO ACTED IN GOOD FAITH.THE DOCTRINE NOW PROTECTS ALL OFFICERS, NO MATTER HOW EGREGIOUS THEIR CONDUCT, IF THE LAW THEY BROKE WAS NOT CLEARLY ESTABLISHED" then he goes on to enlighten us with "EVERY JUDGE MUST LEARN TO LIVE WITH THE FACT HE OR SHE WILL MAKE SOME MISTAKES, IT COMES WITH THE TERRITORY BUT IT IS SOMETHING ELSE ENTIRELY TO PERPETUATE SOMETHING WE ALL KNOW TO BE WRONG ONLY BECAUSE WE FEAR THE CONSEQUENCE OF BEING RIGHT".People speak up.

THE SAVAGERY OF VIRGINIA PRISON OFFICIALS HOG TYING A HANDICAPPED, DISABLED PRISONER---WHAT THE INCIDENT OF BURKE v. STANLEY YOUNG INSTRUCTS AND WHY ARE OUR POLITICIANS NOT LISTENING By William Thorpe

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

When our form of Government gives us accountability, we recognize it.The incident of the case, BURKE v. STANLEY YOUNG 2024 Va. App. Lexis 550 (9/24/24) is an instance, a moment and we recognize it. Our Virginia State Courts do not have a track record of much dealings with the circumstance of the Virginia prison officials' created conditions and nature of Virginia's prison system, because the Virginia prisoner for certain historical reasons normally goes to the Federal Courts for redress and attempts at exacting accountability, but there are a few instances i.e. OGUNDE v. PRISON HEALTH SERVICES 274 VA. 55 (6/8/2007), BILLUPS v. CARTER 268 VA.701, so when a Virginia court as the Court of Appeals recently gave us accountability in the Burke Stanley Young case, I won't say its momentous but we recognize it. I speak specifically from the vantage of a Virginia prisoner, under the Commonwealth's jurisdiction, but exiled to the Texas prison system. As I've noted due to certain historical specifics, prisoners all across the Nation typically go to the Federal Court system seeking accountability. Yes it is an indictment against States and The States Right leeway but that's a discussion for another day, what I want to focus on is what the Burke v. Young case present and enables .BURKE,Conrad Burke is a Virginia prisoner who was held and confined during the facts that brought cause of the case in question at Virginia's POCAHONTAS STATE CORRECTIONAL CENTER. IN 2019, Prisoner Burke filed a grievance on a Pocahontas guard, JAMES POORE. First of all prisoner filed grievances are mandated by United States Law,at 42 U.S.C.S 1997(e) and Virginia also has its mandatory grievance law at Virginia Code 8.01-243.2.What these grievance procedures simply mean is regardless of the facts a prisoners claim will be dismissed when the prison official and their representative, The Virginia Attorney General attacks the prisoners compliance with the grievance law. So Conrad Burke's grievance on James Poore was necessary to save Mr Burke's option of going to court. Then, Pocahontas prison guard James Poore retaliated against prisoner Burke by claiming ,Burke had the cell's intercom covered, that he had extra clothes, food in the cell and had cussed out a nurse, then Poore claimed Burke had pushed a meal tray at him in a manner where food got on him, the claim was found to be "meritless". Now prisoner Conrad Burke suffers from, "SEVERE THORACIC SCOLIOSIS, DEGENERATIVE DISC DISEASE and CONGENITAL HIP DYSPLASIA" and Pocahontas Prison Officials had him assigned to a special medical cell, with hand railing e.t.c to stabilize his mobility. So this is the context where a number of Pocahontas prison guards on February 22,2019, fully cognizant and aware of his medical condition, ordered Prisoner Burke to strip to his boxers, hog tied him with shackles, handcuffs, chains and a black box that keeps ones hands rigid and left him without food, bathroom breaks for appx.21 hours,during which he fell and couldn't right himself up. The prison guards who subjected prisoner Burke to this savage and barbaric treatment told him it was under the direction of the prison's warden, Stanley Young, because of the claim that he had tossed food. I ask you the reader to get the case and read it. We congratulate his lawyers, DANNY ZEMEL (ALLAN STUART GRAF, JOHN F.PREIS, DAVID FLORES, THE KRUDYS LAW FIRM, UNIV.OF RICHMOND SCHOOL OF LAW DAVID FLORES)

THE BARBARITY OF THE VIRGINIA PRISON CONDITION ISNT ONLY CAUSING EPIGENETIC HARM, BUT ALSO HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE, STROKES, KIDNEY DISEASE, PSYCHOSIS, SUICIDES By William Thorpe

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

Here is the crux we are a society of law, not behavior but law. What I'm stating isn't mere sophistry, to the superficial, the shallow, the peddler in Berkeleian negation a fight with windmills will begin as response and reaction, which in other words is that indulgence of "self-checking" oneself, because it's much more comforting to stay mired in the lies and distortions that has become our social intelligence. But its pretty simple, the Virginia prisoner is a creation of law and not behavior and I ask you the reader to find any of the actually and not pro forma "proven" or alleged predicate behavior or acts by the convicted and imprisoned Virginia prisoner that isn't contextually what Virginians do and have done. The criminality of Virginia's George Washington, The Nations numero uno President, through the rapist and schizophrenic in Chief Thomas Jefferson, along with his henchman James Madison, bookending it with the current savagery of the Virginia prison official. Yes philosophically and polemically we indict the behaviour, while Virginia law averts its all seeing gaze of no one is above it, from the behaviour, but on two accounts (1) it isn't criminalized (2) it isn't prosecuted. So if the Virginia prisoner is a creation of law, which then means the imprisonment, circumstance and condition are all facts of and creations of law, then we have to interrogate the "as it is reality" under the rubric of compliance to law, minus the qualification and condition of that extra-judicial scheme of deference, if the results, its impact, its consequence are harmful, destructive and dehumanizing. What this means is if Virginia wants to wield fiat sapiens as law, omniscient and all knowing, then it must account for harm done to, endured and suffered by the prisoner which it summarily describes and characterize as unintended, which we rightly and categorically will and do reject. Notwithstanding that Law has its provisions or process for snuffing out life, it still doesn't permit or allow extra-judicial impositions causing the experienced harm of the imprisonment. A few years ago Virginia justifiably and commonsensically abolished its presumptions of snuffing out life as criminal sanction. Virginia's current application of law upon the purported repudiation of its 1871 RUFFIN v. COMMONWEALTH 62 VA.290 doesn't allow it to cause harm to the prisoner, during the imprisonment. In other words Virginia and her People, her citizens haven't declared that its lawful, for the terms and nature of Virginia's imprisonment to be harmful to the prisoner, yet that is what is happening as a result of the "behaviors" of the Virginia prison official. Our political leaders haven't provided the people of Virginia with irrefutable and irreproachable facts, that, for example, epigenetic harm, high blood pressure, strokes kidney disease, psychosis and suicides just to name a few are happening to the Virginia prisoner independent of the imprisonment as fact of law. When Virginia, as The People exercises its "will" as organized violence by detaining and confining, we, consequently will not then accept the proposition and presumption, that Virginia is flying at the seat of its pants, trial by error, let's see what works and what doesn't, speculations of experimentation. The issue isn't that of what is to be done about criminality and human deviance. We recognize the social cohesion of law, what we don't is its extra-judicial existence. Imprisonment isn't a speculative and theoretical exercise, its done in the name of the People of Virginia who must debate it.

WHY THE NARRATIVE ON PRISON REFORM IN VIRGINIA SHOULDN'T BE LEFT TO THE WHIMS OF THE WHICH WAY THE WIND IS BLOWING VIRGINIA POLITICIAN..... by William Thorpe

First of all the appearance of Donald J. Trump on the Nations and Virginia's political scene has shown to us and proven unambiguously and unequivocally without qualification, without nuance,what the majority of THE PEOPLE have understood and some have known that LAW, ORDER and JUSTICE are petty gimmicks, crass gambits in the employ of "supremacy" and the pursuit of neo-feudalism. Because in Donald Trump we have seen its outright articulation of, George Orwell was right in ANIMAL FARM, that some animals are more equal than others, which is to simply mean some, as Donald Trump has shown, are above law. The fact that, its now apparent, blatant and brazen that some are above law isn't, as a prisoner under the jurisdiction of Virginia news. What I welcome about what Donald Trump's existence has shown is, mooting the argument or purported debate over law, order and justice. So for example we see our "esteemed" Governor Glenn Youngkin and "honorable" Attorney General of The Commonwealth Jason Miyares falling over themselves, tripping all over the faith and aspirational morality of The Commonwealth by supporting, endorsing the sex assault adjudged, 34 felony count convicted Donald Trump, a spit in the face of Virginians who have, are suffering and victimized by similar, identical and comparable crimes to Trumps'. While in Youngkin's case dubiously vetoing a moderate and shallow reform of his Virginia Department of Corrections sadistic use of solitary confinement. Then we have the head scratching, weird spectacle of Jason Miyares pining, hoping for, hungry for a "crime wave", wishing that Virginians will be harmed by newly released Virginia prisoners. To put it mildly, this is disorienting. But hadn't the criminality of Donald Trump and the subsequent emergence of his apologist and defenders presented the question and laid it so plainly and undeniably for all, even our most delusional ostrich head in sand, that if we are not to make a mockery of everything, especially those Virginians who have made affirmation boards of "work hard and play by the rules", under the usual provincial preaching and historical narratives based on the "supremacist "indulgence of a feudalistic political-economy, then reform of Virginia's justice infrastructure, its Department of Corrections and prison system requires a honest narrative. Look let me say this, the Virginia prisoner is fundamentally a citizen according to the terms and definitions of Virginia's SOCIAL CONTRACT, yet the administrative narrative and its societal logic, has to, in order to imprison, transform the Virginia prisoner into something less and else. As such what THE PEOPLE of Virginia and society have experienced and been subjected to are a perversion and diabolical distortion of their citizenship due to the "something less and else "administrative narrative wielded against the prisoner. The Virginia rank and file politician, captive to the administrative narrative deployed against the prisoner cannot be unilaterally expected to reform the narrative when they have proven themselves craven enough, unable and unwilling enough to simply state the obvious, that defending and supporting the criminality of Donald Trump, by The Commonwealth's, Chief Executive and Attorney General is incompatible and morally repugnant to aspirations and expectations of Virginia's Social Contract. Now in the absence of the needed and necessary moral courage by the rank and file Virginia politician, we'd think our media would be it with giving us the narrative accuracy of reform.

WHAT EPIGENETICS HAS TO SAY ABOUT THE BARBARITY OF THE VIRGINIA PRISON SYSTEM, ESPECIALLY ITS USE OF SOLITARY CONFINEMENT By William Thorpe

I'm a prisoner under the jurisdiction of The Commonwealth of Virginia currently held by The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, because Virginia exiled me here. My focus is on Virginia. What I'm about to speak on is something, Virginia politicians, leaders, institutions, specifically educational institutions i.e The University of Virginia at Charlottesville, Virginia Commonwealth University's Medical College of Virginia and Virginia Polytechnic University at Blacksburg and Businesses should have and in pursuit of the wholesome and honest governance defined by The Social Contract brought and presented to the Virginia public for debate relating to Virginia's practice of imprisonment and solitary confinement as a significant component of its Justice Infrastructure. But as we have experienced forever, Virginia's politics as established by its status quo which I have identified above does everything but and at the very expense of good governance. The renowned neuroscientist and epigeneticist, Dr. Bianca Jones Marlin of Columbia University has been doing serious work on showing and relatively establishing that and how our experiences are passed on generationally through our genes. Traditionally and colloquially people have surmised that experiences are transmitted generationally, but EPIGENESIS and EPIGENETICS is showing that it isn't mere Farmers Almanac talk as shown by Dr. Bianca Jones Marlin's work. The experience of Virginia imprisonment is patently and gratuitously savage. The point of its criticism isn't based on and off the nature of the prison official, but a more fundamental indictment of the apathy and indifference of the people and society of The Commonwealth to it's lack of attention and responsibility to what is done to the prisoner in their name. EPIGENESIS is a reminder and instructor that thoughtless harm is being done to future generations of our human condition and society who regardless of the logic and relative justification of the savagery of the imprisonment impacts us as society. Prisoners are released, prisoners return to and become members and participants of the greater society with the irreparable harm of the, as shown by Dr. Bianca Jones Marlin's epigenetic work,(and I paraphrase) the lived experiences of past generations are passed down genetically, which as it relates to this work is the savagery of the Virginia prison experience. The average Virginia citizen going about their replicative conditions for existence isn't relatively expected to be aware of the actuality of the hazards of experiential genetic imprints to have a moral and ethical ground, from which to scrutinize the barbarous behavior of the Virginia prison official. But that's what a society's leaders and institutions are for and its on that crucial and organic point are we sold short and betrayed. Because contrary to the exploitation of the Virginia citizenry's cluelessness and ignorance, by the usual factions and their shared indulgence of short sighted and selfish interests, Virginia society suffers when the public is dispossessed of information, knowledge and the understanding necessary to actually repair society towards the realization and harnessing of the inherent potential of all the people. The Virginia Department of Corrections, its overlord, Governor Glenn Youngkin, regardless of idealistic rationale for using solitary confinement have to contend with its epigenetic harm.

SO THE SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES, IN THE CASE, TOWN OF CASTLE ROCK v. GONZALES 545 U.S. 748 SAID COPS HAVE NO LEGAL DUTY TO PROTECT ANYONE AND ACCORDING TO THE SQUIRMY NATURE OF LAW THEY'RE RIGHT By William Thorpe

Yes according to the squirmy nature of law, Cops or Government aren't LEGALLY obligated to do anything and we actually see how this plays out in the work of holding the Virginia Department of Corrections accountable and reform of its deeds. Consequently what rulings and proclamations as the Supreme Courts' Town of Castle Rock v. Gonzales also show and enable is the fact that Justice or doing right by the mistreated and harmed is, it compels us to actually grasp the nature of our Social Contract and the ensuing underpinning social relationships. I won't go all into the details of the Castle Rock case but I strongly ask that you the reader get the case and read it. Now if you happen to be focused on and concerned with Prison reform in Virginia along with its justice infrastructure, you will have to, not only study the case but also follow how it impacts all and what we do pursuing transparency within Virginia's governmental formulations. Let me unequivocally state: despite the fact that WE THE PEOPLE are GOVERNMENT, we are also in conflict with ourselves as government. To be specific the conflict stands or appears as the objectification of our ignorance, assumptions and suppositions, resulting as a dash of cold water in our collective faces as the Virginia tax payer when we encounter the fact that, the confounding sophistry of "legal duty" has a "qualifier", a manuver, called DISCRETION. What this simply means is all and I stress all governmental functions, irrespective of descriptive and operative language are discretionary. So for example, even though the Virginia prisoner is entitled to PAROLE, receiving it or getting it is discretionary or in other words up to the speculations, assumptions and biases of The Virginia Parole Board. The point though is all of this can be changed, improved on, reformed with the type and sort of politics that presents these issues as questions of Government, untethered from, removed from and devoid of the varied representations of idealistic distortions and deviations. If the highest function of The People of Virginia, collectively as Government, as The Commonwealth of Virginia, is its organized violence imposing imprisonment as function of its justice infrastructure and if the imprisonment scheme and practices are patently counterproductive and must be reformed for its generalized injustice then we have to have a politics of REFORM.A politics that highlights contradictions and antagonisms, not as anomalies of Virginia Government but reflective of its suppositionary foundation that is specifically at odds with the aspirations of modern Virginia and its human condition. The Virginia Department of Corrections as under belly of The Commonwealth is quintessential Virginia as such it is where we see, find and experience its shortcomings and inabilities which as I've already identified, are foundational. In other words the issue isn't with criminality or social deviance, both instances and circumstances are answers albeit dysfunctional and asocial, but the question is how does Virginia apply LAW with its social cohesiveness of "no one is above it".Yes,we get the schizophrenia of Virginia's Thomas Jefferson thundering on the equality, freedom of humanity while enslaving humanity and raping Sally Hemings.We get Virginia's James Madison's demand for The 2d amend.as defense of slavery, a maneuver for retention of discretion.

THE VIRGINIA PRISON SYSTEM AND IT'S DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS IS A FUNCTION OF GOVERNMENT AND TO REFORM IT ALSO MEANS HOLDING GOVERNMENT ACCOUNTABLE..... by. William Thorpe

Recently one of our Virginia State Senators' made it known that,she had toured a couple of Virginia prisons. (Russett Perry) She didn't say which ones, but she did say something to the effect that prison reform and public safety are bipartisan or nonpartisan issues. I begin with: I disagree that REFORM, regardless and irrespective of context, is nonpartisan. Reform, has a specific and particular orientation, which is improving on a status quo. As such improvement isn't regressive but ALWAYS progressive and politics as a partisan endeavor and enterprise is representative of interest. To reform systems, implying an existing interest is being challenged, the context then is within a natural opposition to the existing status quo or interest, which will concurrently reveal that the politics reflective of the interest defended is helplessly partisan. The political tendency represented by our Virginia State Senator who recently spoke on her prison tour is reformist, yet the idealistic nature of Virginia's politics and it's defining narrative or speech requires her to relatively negate its reform predicate necessity, with the characterization under the disingenuous and duplicitous claim that prison reform is nonpartisan. So when we state: If, the Virginia prison system is a Governmental function and the only social question to be answered is its reform, then we must and have to hold our Government accountable and it begins with requiring that our representatives and political leaders give us accurate and correct definitions of what the Virginia public and society needs for the level of debate for reform of the Virginia Department of Corrections. Now let me unequivocally state that the Virginia Prisoner is a political and social creation. To you the reader who disagrees with the description thats what debates are for. To hold our government accountable, it requires and demands of us not just a mere grasp of events happening in Virginia prisons but the principles and ideas of the Virginia prison official administering it within its historical context. The problem however is, as I started this work, the double negative tendencies undercutting of the reformist intent once again expressed by another Virginia politician talking out of both sides of their mouth over the question of prison reform and public safety in Virginia. First of all it is correct and accurate to say that Virginia's justice infrastructure inclusive of the prison system is dysfunctional and hypocritical and I need not defend the statement with nothing less than pointing out the fact of its negation and undermining by none other than The Governor of Virginia Glenn Youngkin and Virginia's Chief Law Officer, Attorney General of The Commonwealth of Virginia Jason Miyares, both constitutionally tasked with upholding it, but instead supporting and endorsing a sex assault adjudged, 34 felony count convicted, Donald Trump, the Nations most notorious felon. Its incredulous that anyone, any Virginian can dare think that the Political Party of Youngkin and Miyares, The Republican Party isn't partisan on the necessary question of reforming the habits, practices and philosophy of the Virginia Department of Corrections. The Virginia prisoner doesn't exist as a medieval hypothesis for schizophrenic speculations by prison officials of what it means to imprison a human being or the flagellatory impulses of self hatred. But just as the Dickensian world exist as measure of a demented example of a dysfunctional British society, so is The Virginia Department of Corrections and its prisons, Dickensian.

"THEY DON'T DESERVE TO BREATHE FRESH AIR" AND OPPORTUNISTIC POLITICIANS EARN A LIVING AMPLIFYING IT By William Thorpe

Of course a victim of crime is entitled to express the sentiment that I've titled this work. The sentiment, perpetrators of crime don't deserve to breathe fresh air, which was, once again expressed by another tortured Dad, voicing torment at something crazy done to his child. As I caught the news clip exclamation by a Texas Dad hurling the invective into the principles of our human condition and existence. As a prisoner having experienced its exploitation by politicians in pursuit of speculative political power endemically at the expense of the pain of a victim of crime, I understand its visceral origins, nonetheless The Social Contract of our American Society isn't structured nor constructed on visceral formulations, which is what our presumptive political leaders would be imparting to US the people if they weren't craven and opportunistic. Human behavior or activity is well reasoned or it isn't and therefore, insane. The Social Contract anticipates both states of our behavior and capabilities accordingly we have gleaned an idea, a concept, a practice called Law. So we, Society have Laws and I as a prisoner under the laws and jurisdiction of The Commonwealth of Virginia, exist within its definitions. For the purposes of this work, I'm imprisoned under the convictions of armed robbery and the use of a firearm and the point being, as much as process of law is conveniently distorted by politicians and the visceral utterances of the victim of crime, I am not convicted because of whether I did or committed what I was accused of, but on sole process that the people of Virginia or The Social Contract, convinced a panel or jury of other Virginians that based on what was presented as evidence within the logic of supporting the accusation or charge. In plain talk no one is in prison or convicted because of deed. And the reason and proof is simple, every single definition in for example Virginia's criminal code 18.2 are acts committed by Virginia's Government and the humans legally personifying or embodying it. Which within The Social Contract we experience as the tyranny of the majority against the individual and on the inverse when I as an individual am prosecuted for alleged acts against the proscriptions of Virginia Code 18.2, it is seen as tyranny of the individual against the majority. So for example despite the fact the supreme law of these United States is The Constitution with it's circumstances. Likewise The Commonwealth of Virginia has its Constitution governing existence of all under its jurisdiction. Still we see, observe and experience all sorts of behaviors by Officials representing the State that not only are contrary to commonsense but also specifically at odds with our baseline understanding and comprehension of The Constitution. Yet for the purposes of ruling and governing a people, is legal and accepted as good and beneficial. When politicians, our legislators and presumptive leaders, exploit visceral sentiments by victims of crime who understandably can be as visceral as they therapeutically need to, still politicians or leaders who understand that the body politic or society isn't a formulation conveying vindictiveness shouldn't then be amplifying or endearing such sentiments, knowing that visceral ravings are contradictory, antagonistic and asocial. Just as we don't see governance legitimizing lynch mobs, kangaroo courts, extra-judicial acts, summary retaliatory acts and all those opportunistic expediencies that share the inevitable historical event horizon, because it reveals that The Social Contract or Society is tenuous faith.

TO PRESENT THE QUESTION OF THE BEHAVIOR OF THE VIRGINIA DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS WITH THE REQUISITE SERIOUSNESS, WE NEED A PEOPLES ASSEMBLY BECAUSE VIRGINIA'S LEGISLATURE AND GOVERNOR ARE INCAPABLE By William Thorpe

If Virginia's Corporate media wasn't deluded with its idealistic and ingratiating business model and what I mean by that is, the notion that its ad buyers would frown, were it to actually start exposing the stunts played by our Government as controversial and would therefore find other points of selling their wares, Virginia would begin to be a developing and healthy society. But that isn't the case. Virginia's media, The Corporate or for profit media has always been a mechanism for the subordination of The People. It has always been a functionary, a support system enabling a specific type of speech. What I mean by speech is, the conceited narrative governing Virginia society and it plays out primarily on two fronts.(1) The Economy or to be accurate, The Political-Economy (2) The Justice Infrastructure and The Prison System. The basis of this speech is FEAR, what I mean by fear is simply this, those factions of Virginia society, whose narrative is the prevailing governing operative and force, are unwilling to trust The People's simple willingness and ability to UNDERSTAND, so everything is filtered through implausibility's, improbabilities, metaphysics and outright contradictions and its in that vein the media gets its cue, when it isn't explicitly told how to long handle dump the pablum on us, dumbing us, while as we behave as typical humanity, feigning literacy, ashamed to reveal that we have been duped, conned and taken advantage of. Because the criticism, "voting against ones interest" has become a white noise, badge of honor, attesting to that adage, "misery loves company "or perceiving our lot, vicariously, just as the low end "welfare recipient" is shamed, while the mega corporation is expected to get its gobble of "welfare" as subsidy, indicating its a smartly run company. The point being, all of this are aspects of Social-Contract interactions. But again, because the prevailing narrative is unable to, unless compelled, acknowledge that its point of view or speech, isn't absolute nor does it have a monopoly on anything, regardless of it's presumptions, and the primary means of this deed is Corporate Media we have to wide eye, expose it, particularly on the question of holding The Virginia Department of Corrections accountable. Our politicians are inarguably incapable of exercising oversight over Virginia's prison system, because they simply don't want to deal with it. So we get stunts like Governor Glenn Youngkin's recent Executive Order #36 treating the re-entry of the released Virginia prisoner into society as an after thought that nonprofits should address and find their social worth in. Well as I've already stated we ain't buying it. Virginia's Justice Infrastructure and its imprisonment scheme is to damn impactful on society to simply leave it up to colloquial suppositions and metaphysical speculations, which is the same ole, same ole age old controlling stunt played by the governing narrative of executive order #36 and if we are to say no, to that type of speech we have to practice our acceptance and understanding that as, Society and The People, those are our questions, those are our issues and with our debate and discussions we will reach our answers reflecting the objectivity of our human condition. The Virginia prisoner isn't apart, independent, superimposed on or alien to Virginia society but is quintessential to it, because its with the Virginia prisoner The People reveal their absolute sovereignty of WILL or STATE ORGANIZED VIOLENCE in all its antagonistic ignorance as The Social Contract.

YES, THE RE-ENTRY OF THE VIRGINIA PRISONER INTO SOCIETY IS THE MOST IMPORTANT PART OF THE ENTIRE IMPRISONMENT SCHEME, YET SYSTEMICALLY IGNORED AND PAID LIP SERVICE TO By William Thorpe

Let me begin with no one has answers, which is also to say no one knows it all. When and if we are fortunate, we grasp questions, to which we begin to answer and criminal justice to a modern society as The Commonwealth Of Virginia, is a Question. The history of Law including criminal justice in Virginia is old, ancient as the Human Condition and rightly so, because it is the evolution of it's answers. Of course for all sorts of reasons there are data points of its process, so we'll encounter stuff like, based on this English Common Law e.t.c, which then begs, before Blackstone and his ilk started, characterizing and organizing traditions and proclamations, as Law, which in this context, English Common, people had enough Law or manner of interactions that were practical and judicious enough to sustain human survival to where we, now exist. The point is modern Virginia society didn't invent the wheel nor can reinvent it but only refine and qualify it, which is to say underscore the evolution of answers. So contextually, criminal justice in the Commonwealth shouldn't be stuck in an Era: despite the fact political opportunists and speculators ply its presumption. Nor should it be held hostage to the divide and conquer and the end justifies the means idealistic thinking. Criminal Justice in Virginia and its Prison system, is inarguably barbarous and savage and there is nothing empirical, as utility in our human condition that justifies it. Yes a 1870's Virginia Supreme Court right after The Civil War or War Between The States gave us the infamy in RUFFIN V. COMMONWEALTH 62 Va 790, that the Virginia prisoner only existed in the ignorance's of assumptions and speculations. Despite, its theoretical repudiation, the decision is still synoptically streaking in the lazy thinking and hypocrisies determining Virginia's Justice Infrastructure and its Prison System. But the potential, meaning questions our human condition presents and ask demands that we change it. Imprisoning a Virginian is an answer, while the question of the prisoner's re-entry into society as a responsibility isn't treated as such because it has been ceded as expression of who has the right to pose and ask it, another instance of the antagonisms roiling the Social Contract. Conventional wisdom would imply that the Virginia legislator, should give us the answer, but parameters of The Social Contract tells us, we'd be naive. Our elected Representatives or legislators are not bound to act in the interest of, "We The People", yes they seek our votes under its assumptions, but as a Commonwealth we elect the presumption of their "judgement" or "commonsense", in other words we give them our blind faith to reach decisions that will enable the progressive evolution of social answers which as it concerns how the Virginia prisoner re-enters society are the most important. However, historically this question, not only hasn't received answers but it hasn't even been recognized as a question and If it is to be elevated and not relegated to the scape goat imperative of the justice infrastructure dynamic, it will require a politics of all of Virginia led by Families of Virginia Prisoners and Victims of Crime. A politics that will present questions, enabling the development of a social contract that isn't endemically sabotaging itself with scape goatism.

FAMILIES OF VIRGINIA PRISONERS AND THE VIRGINIA DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS By William Thorpe

If and it is correct that Society, which The Commonwealth Of Virginia is, has The Family as basic unit, then any and all examination of Social direction and development has to correctly and unbiasedly embrace it. Before I continue let me disabuse the insidious among us, who are chomping at the bit, to become absolutist and exclusivist over, "What is the Family", that is not the focus of this work. The definition of Family animating this work is simply its legal understanding and acceptance Nationally and The Commonwealth of Virginias'.As soon as humans recognized the value in Society, its dysfunction or what is wrong about it also simultaneously came into existence. So if Family as unit, is socially fundamental, meaning family is a crystallization quintessential valuation of Human good, the mechanism and means of pursuing that historical objective realization, in other words the why or purpose of its existence, then all human behavior has to be examined on those terms. As potential of our human condition, we ladle it with platitudes, sometimes with long handle, most of the time without and just toss it with cliches or to be definitive, suppositions or pop psychology and its babble so in Virginia, what we see and experience is the philistine and erudite putting the Family on pedestals, while laboring mightily to undermine it, sabotaging it at every turn, as such The Virginia Department of Corrections being a component of Virginia society albeit distinctively and conditionally corrupt. Claiming in its Mission Statement its acceptance and recognition of the primary import and role, it plays in its Public Safety focus. Then quickly and connivingly contravening it. This violation and jettison of the principle and imperative of Family isn't necessarily a result of cabalistic schemes or as the reactionaries among us would distort it with the infatuation on their bumper sticker "social engineering "nomenclature,but the exploitation of Family is the inevitable and inexorable consequence of opportunism for short sighted gain, the gain of speculative political power. So what we see is politicians exploiting the victim of crime as a social class, thereby instantly elevating them among the people at the expense of, the Family. What makes this exploitive of the victim of crime is this, in any modern society including Virginia."Society" as the interconnections and interactions of all the Families, its basic unit,The People, its to The People then, in their name and authority that the adjudication of criminal justice is processed.Politicians and those Virginians who would assume leadership over us know this.They understand that criminal justice adjudication, its dispensation is only through the authority of society, Families or The People. So what happens is the politician, in pursuit of self gain incites and aggravates the experience of the victim of crime by making it possible for them to substantially impose on the convicted imprisoned perpetrator's parole process,which by all measure and for all practical purposes is an extra-judicial act. Because during the adjudication and sentencing process,what is relevant to it, is presented. The imposition of criminal punishment, whether, fine, probation, jail or prison sentence are executed according to the Due Process of Virginia law, which are the terms of Virginia's Social Contract or Society. But what politicians in pursuing votes from the victim of crime have ended up doing is mock it. The consequences of this mockery are comprehensively extensive in its social corruption and rot.

WHAT THE CODE SWITCH PODCAST GETS WRONG OVER WHY WE INSIST ON AFFIXING FELON, TO THE 34 COUNT FELONY, SEX ASSAULT ADJUDGED CONVICTED FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP By William Thorpe

If we understand the insidiousness of the 13th Amendment to The United States Constitution, which is, prior to the Civil War, enslavement of Black People was limited to certain States and acceptance of newly minted States into the Union was contingent on positions on slavery, and if the Civil War was an effort at abolishing the enslavement of Black People as political-economy fact and a way of life, requiring the death of over 700,000 Black, White, Native Americans and others, then what the 13th amend. achieved (which was also a craven betrayal of the War intended to cauterize the gangrene of slavery), is the Nationalization of slavery, with its..."except as punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction", qualification or as I've indicated a nullification of the amendment itself. What this, "except as punishment..." with a wink and a nod, permitted was the continuation of slavery under other euphemisms i.e convict leasing, prison labor (which a recent article in The Texas Standard underscored by revealing a Texas prison official saying and I paraphrase that the difference between the slavery practiced on the plantations which are now converted into Texas prison units, talk about irony, is Texas prisoners who are now slaves use tractors). I've developed this to say, the primary objective of The Nations justice infrastructure post-Civil War is to keep Black people in particular as close to conditions of enslavement as possible, as such every aspect and facet of Society and the political-economy are deployed and work in concert towards it. Our human condition and ensuing societies are constructs of language, concepts and definitions. Here is a quick example, a prison official assaults, beats the crap out of a prisoner who by the way is handcuffed, violates the prisoner. Now if your local or National corporate media speaks on it, the prison official's assaultive behavior is described as "abuse" or prison guard "brutality".Now were a prisoner to assault and beat the crap out of the prison official, media would report on the behavior as prisoner assaulting prison official. The instances of this sort of editorializing, description manipulation, event sanitizing go hand in hand with status quo supremacy and rule. In other words, words are either in support of or anti something. So when we now see that those who have historically been subjected to and in many cases destroyed by the weaponization of the word as descriptive label, FELON, applying it mightily and consistently at the former President Donald Trump, it serves a primary purpose, which contrary to the idealistic intellectualism in its purported analysis by the folks at CODE SWITCH, that forever its subjects and their organic base have clearly understood that the label "FELON" has a malevolent utility that has nothing to do with any speculations on "justice" and by saturating its smear over Donald Trump, its users are compelling the American establishment in whose services its historical deployment has benefited, that you either treat Donald Trump as you historically have us, if its usage against us has the same meaning and purpose. Now because the label felon, is exposed not just for its subjects to bemoan but for those neo-enslavers and neo-feudalist, a la Project 2025 in whose employ the label felon has labored to face up to the fact that the jig is up, we now interrogate The American Justice Infrastructure on equal footing without any sanctimony.

IF THE COMMONWEALTH OF VIRGINIA WANTS TO EXERCISE ITS CRIMINAL JUSTICE RIGHT, THEN WHOSE RESPONSIBILITY IS IT TO PROVIDE A RELEASED PRISONER WITH FUNCTIONAL NECESSITIES? By William Thorpe

Recently Governor Glenn Youngkin signed EXECUTIVE ORDER NUMBER 36 and I responded with its a gambit. Look people there are a lot of misconceptions and misapprehension about criminal justice because there hasn't been a serious interrogation of what it means. So what has happened is The Virginia Prison scheme and its base Justice Infrastructure has simply been allowed to operate without any scrutiny or rather made to comprehensively defend and explain the "why's" and "what" of its actions. Society has always struggled with how to respond to those it accuses of violating its criminal codes because any close examination and, again interrogation is like that proverbial tugging on a loose sleeve thread resulting in the entire sleeve falling off. In other words any honest examination of the justice infrastructure will present society with realities of itself that it doesn't want to know about itself and confront. As presently structured Virginia Code 53.1 has general parameters governing Virginia's prison scheme including parole, but what it doesn't affirmatively deal with is The Commonwealth's responsibilities and obligations to the released prisoner (which is the most important part of the entire imprisonment scheme) yet Virginia's Government hasn't acted as such, yet Youngkin's EXECUTIVE ORDER NUMBER 36 is confession that the question of the released prisoner from Virginia prisons is a responsibility of Virginia's Government, because first of all the authority to issue executive orders is a governmental function from powers the people of Virginia have seen fit to give the Governor or Executive of Virginia. Secondly, public safety which the justice infrastructure and the prison system are components is a primary function and responsibility of the Governor or Executive who currently is Glenn Youngkin. Thirdly and most important, there are reasons why certain functions and services are prohibitively reserved for Government and Public Safety and the Justice Infrastructure are some. Now historically Virginia hasn't recognized and accepted that it has a primary responsibility and obligation to provide the released prisoner with functional necessities. This work isn't focusing on the reasons but what I stress is this, all governments are of the people and eliciting function and service depends on and demands a literacy of this fact, unless access is denied by laws, for example during "jim crow", Black People were denied access and participation in Virginia's governance by laws, that relatively mirror the Virginia prisoner circumstance. So the fact Governor Youngkin wants to play footsie with the Commonwealth's responsibility to the released prisoner with his EXECUTIVE ORDER NUMBER 36 as gambits to nonprofits, exploiting the charity gimmick only speaks to, as a people our illiteracy and ignorance or insidiousness by playing along as if the condition and circumstance of the released Virginia prisoner is an after thought that is shunted to the off track of suppositions and speculations of unaccountable and unelected Virginians. Look people Virginia's government is incapable for a number of reasons of thoroughly examining and comprehensively interrogating its justice infrastructure and prison system, as such we need another mechanism for that, what I, as a prisoner under its jurisdiction supports is a peoples assembly made up of people, selected from all regions of the State, including most importantly victims of crime and families of prisoners.
