HOLDING VIRGINIA'S IMPRISONMENT SCHEME ACCOUNTABLE IS A HELLUVA LOT MORE THAN COMPLAINTS TO THE VIRGINIA DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS By William Thorpe

Everything that I write is intended to convey some insight into the above-the-lawism circumstance of Virginia prison official's impunity. Along with underscoring the simple fact that yes, the prison official might be the immediate perpetrator. But when the nature and existence of the impunity is systemic and a helluva lot of effort and ingenuity has went into its concealment and mystification by its beneficiaries, then it is incumbent on us to state such. And stating such also means showing how the dehumanization of Virginia's imprisonment scheme, which is our focus, is a result of a lot of unaccountability from vectors and sectors of Virginia's Social Contract, which understandably and excusably, a majority of Family, Ally and Friend of the Virginia Prisoner, haven't considered. Not because of incapability, but the Social Contract or Virginia Society and governance is purposefully and deliberately structured to obscure it, as a continuum of the STAR CHAMBER dynamic of repression. Listed are cases that touch on the dynamic of the STAR CHAMBER, despite ignoring its logic in the imprisonment scheme.[FARETTA v. CAL 422 U.S 806, IN RE OLIVER 333 U.S. 257, UNITED STATES v. ELLIS 2026 U.S App. LEXIS 21344 and WALTERS v. DALE (IN FLINT WATER CASES) 53 F.4th 176] I cite these case to show that even as they denounce and point out the evils of the STAR CHAMBER, they conveniently ignore that its logic is very much alive and well in the repression meted by the prison official on a daily basis to the American prisoner, which for purposes of our work, the Virginia prisoner. Which is to say if it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck, of course its a duck. I BEGIN: I spoke of vectors and sectors of Virginia's Social Contract that are equally culpable with the dehumanization regime of Virginia's imprisonment scheme. With this work, I will focus on the lack of accountability of Virginia's Mental Health Establishment. Mental Health throughout the history of our human condition has endured and been subjected to all sorts of characterizations. Which for purpose of this work I will categorize as the idealism of ignorance and the enlightenment of materialistic investigation. The one constant is the Patient, who is buffeted whither hither with the event. Another occurring fact is the ongoing battle for supremacy between the two categories, that has nothing to do with the actual live human being patient and the mental health event, but everything to do with whatever motive force and logic driving the external acknowledgement, as phenomenon of the mental health event. So for example we have Ronald Wilson Reagan, upon assuming the U.S. Presidency in 1980, treating mental health patients as flotsam and effluent by ejecting them out of Mental health Hospitals and Institutions, to the schizophrenic performative piety of certain Religious faith sectors who are unwilling to recognize the enlightenment of the materialist investigation into the mental health event and phenomena and all battling with the materialist investigation of the mental health, which naturally results in exposing the inherent corruption that is latent in the business of human existence, when the governance of the accountability-function is undermined. Which is what we see as Virginia's Mental Health Establishment on the issue and question of reforming the imprisonment scheme. The issue is, Family, Ally and Friends of the Virginia prisoner cannot just call out the Virginia prison official on the violations of mental health without pointing the finger at Virginia's Mental Health Establishment, who are responsible.

HOLDING THE VIRGINIA PRISON OFFICIAL ACCOUNTABLE IS MORE THAN VOTING IN POLITICIANS WHO WILL PERFORM OVERSIGHT, BUT HOW COMPREHENSIVE AN UNDERSTANDING WE HAVE OF THE SOCIAL CONTRACT By William Thorpe

So, in response to work titled, THE SAVAGERY AND BARBARISM OF THE AMERICAN PRISON SYSTEM HAS PRODUCED GIANTS IN OPPOSITION...... which I assume came from a mind and heart sharing and having affinity with the savagery and barbarism, this was and I paraphrase stated, what did the work have to do with Virginia prisoners committing suicide. Now do I think that a Virginia prison official under a pseudonym, made the comment as a distraction from the fact that the imprisonment scheme, Virginia's or Nationally, is pure unadulterated savagery and barbarism, is besides the point. But what the comment does is present opportunity for focus on and a highlight of an aspect we seemingly and virtually fail to consider and even when it nibbles at the back of our mind, we take it for granted. What I'm talking about is the degree to which we are practically ignorant of the THOUGHT or construct of the SOCIAL CONTRACT or THE SYSTEM. Now let's just take it on face value that the commentator speaking of prisoner suicide is actually oblivious to the connection savagery and barbarism has on also inducing suicide, which the Supreme Court of The United States in 1890, in a moment of honesty and unbiased reasoning, noted in the case IN RE MEDLEY 134 U.S 160, that prisoners in solitary confinement and I quote, "committed suicide". This is what Jurist of the highest Court in the land said in 1890 and not even the most vile and incorrigible Prison Official will dare argue that solitary confinement isn't a savage and barbaric condition, but my focus is on more than stating the obvious. What I ask of us in this work of reforming Virginia's imprisonment scheme, is we have to actually grasp the construct of Virginia's Social Contract, in order to recognize that the accountability-function of governance is much more than legislative action, because for one a Supreme Court whether a States' or Federal can null and void legislative action, which the only Accountability available is that of the fundamental grasp of the People, which essentially is to what extent the People are capable of activating that "Speech", of the Emperor has no clothes. In other words, when the dynamic of governance stands gloriously naked and to a degree the Supreme Court of Hawaii in the case GRANILLO v. STATE 2026 HAW.LEXIS 179, in the writings of Justice Todd W. Eddins, has given us its schematic. Which simply is the activity of speech exposing. So, let's take the circumstance of Virginia prisoner suicide. For starters seldom do we see energetic speech from Family, Ally and Friends, cutting through the distractive and distortive noise of Virginia public discourse. Because complicity resulting in the suicides, isn't just due to the professional presence of the Virginia Prison Official as cause, but the very construct of Virginia's Social Contract and its lattice aspect, the gradient dehumanization of the socio-person. We see this in how the functionaries of Virginia's Social Contract, the Media, treat the fact of the prisoner suicide. Initially the media coverage, insidiously diminishes or down plays the suicide fact, then it matures to dismissing it with stunts as directing attention to and emphasizing whatever alleged convictions resulted in the imprisonment of the dead prisoner. This sort of media treatment is a result of bias enboldenment, serving a specific function, that of detouring fissure causing status quo criticism, which simply is the prisoner wasn't sent to prison to commit suicide. Then we have the silence from the Virginia Mental Health profession as complicity.

WE ARE NOT THE ONES DELEGITIMIZING THE VIRGINIA PRISON OFFICIAL, THE INHERENT CORRUPTION OF THE CONSTRUCT IS IT'S REAGENT By William Thorpe

There is only one acknowledgement to be realized: Which is the Virginia Prison Official's subordination to the Peoples intention of the Accountability-Function of governance. I BEGIN: I will spare us the enterprise of critiquing the sham Speech, meaning the activity of Virginia's Social Contract prior to the emergence of RUFFIN v. COMMONWEALTH 62 VA.790 and simply stipulate, that the fatuous work of those 1871 Virginia Supreme Court Jurist examination of Virginia's Bill of Rights in RUFFIN clearly orients the corrupt inherency of Virginia's imprisonment scheme, which the Virginia prison official continues its embodiment. Whether or not I'm correct in characterizing the 1871 work of Virginia's Supreme Court in RUFFIN as fatuous isn't up to any honest debate and here is the basic fact, can a human or socio-person step outside of history? Of course not and simply having to state it shows how low it's bar of reason. Well that is exactly what those Virginia Jurist in 1871 ask us to accept, with their Bill of Rights excluding the Virginia prisoner jurisprudence and it's with that work does the inherent corruption of Virginia's imprisonment scheme stand pathetically laid bare and naked. Because you cannot say that human/socio-person's behavior is a construct of "law", then turn right around and "simply" proclaim that that creation of a construct of law, is all of a sudden outside of law and then introduce an arbiter, a summary dispensation of, to quote RUFFIN....."[S]such as the law in its benignity accords to them." This people is sophistry, a revelation of what law meant to and was understood by the Virginia Jurist of 1871, who naturally were either full members of the Commonwealth's elite or its support functionaries. Of course none of this Bi-Polarism of THOUGHT is novel, we encounter it over and over, time and time again. From the Virginia prison official's professional instinct of dehumanizing the Virginia prisoner, meaning seeing the prisoner as less than, while still expecting that the Virginia prisoner exhibit that most quintessential of humanness, which is the ability to comprehend, by exercising ability and capacity to understand, which in the context of the imprisonment scheme is prison rules, procedures, programs e.t.c, meaning the prisoner isn't less than, after all. To that other classic example of theorizing on Man's Liberty even as the practice of subjugation was reaching new dimensions with the creation of HOMO CHATTEL. Our human condition is replete with example after example of that inherent corruption as dialectical nemesis, when we are intent on holding it accountable. But when we are not we experience it as Southern enslavers accusing and "blaming" Northern Abolitionists for "instigating" ideas of freedom in the heads of the enslaved or the Virginia prison official having no refuge for the corrupt professional behavior of above-the-lawism, grasping the strawman logic that the People's intention and will of subordination to the accountability-function of governance is delegitimizing's delegitmization of the Virginia prison official is a fait accompli, revealed to the Virginia prisoner with every interaction with the Virginia prison official. All one has to do is peruse the chronicles upon chronicles of Court claims stating the sort of quite frankly disqualifying Virginia prison official behavior which Virginia law at Virginia code 19.2-83.6 and Virginia code 15.2-1707 are intended to respond to. When the prison official lies, contrives an infraction on a prisoner, denies a duty it's delegitimizing.

KIMBERLY SNODGRASS YOU SHOULDN'T BE THANKING ME, INSTEAD IT IS THE OTHER WAY AROUND, US, THE VIRGINIA PRISONER THANK YOU AND ALL OUR WOMEN WHO IN ONE WAY OR THE OTHER ARE IN OUR LIVES By William Thorpe

I started the day, today 8/19/26 listening to a call in Radio Show on Houston, Texas KPFT and the topic was on masculinity, something about how men are "dominating and putting women in their place". When I was growing up the term for that sort of thinking was "chauvinism", now its misogyny, both describe, what our ancients said, and I paraphrase, that philosophers have described the World, now its on us to change it. Because as I was listening to the various voices, female and male expressing ill formed, idiotic, backwards, with the thoughtful and enlightening thinking sprinkled in between, it captured that world description, minus the change it part. Even though I was able to reflect on when I have also been demeaning and derisive towards females as a cultural normalcy, I still, then recognized distinction, that yes I demeaned or insulted a specific female, even a clique of females, still I knew that WOMAN was to be respected and accorded dignity. Of course, my level of the respect and acknowledgement of dignity, reflected and was an expression of, what I then knew. I say all of this to say, the attitudes and perspectives I was hearing coming through my headphones this morning were to put it simply, alien. Especially when I juxtapose what I know about the typical Woman in the life of the American Prisoner, which to be specific, for purpose of this work, the Virginian Woman in the life of the Virginia Prisoner, against the ridiculous caricaturization of females, on the airwaves of Texas this morning. Before I begin, when I talk about the Woman in the life of the American prisoner. Let's take the legendary champion Women Basketball Player, MAYA MOORE, who is now Maya Moore-Iorns and if you're not familiar with her story, please take the time to delve. Because Maya Moore was an exceptional basketball player. She won Championship after Championship at the University of Connecticut and she continued winning when she turned pro with the Minnesota Lynx of the WNBA, whatever descriptive you can come up for her won't be enough. Then she gave it all up, she quit everything to devote and dedicate herself, the totality of her humanness, towards the work of freeing, JONATHAN IORNS a Missouri Prisoner, who she had come to the realization was falsely imprisoned. So Maya Moore did what the human being focused on a task does. As an end note to her story, not only did she accomplish her intention, but her last name is now, IORNS and they have to my knowledge a child. The behavior of Woman in the American Imprisonment Scheme isn't limited to Maya Moore as anecdote, but stories abound in all sorts of ways that speak to the incalculable strength of WOMAN to the American prisoner and this brings me to Virginia and KIMBERLY SNODGRASS. Recently Kim thanked me and,even though I understand where she's coming from, I still can't let it stand like that. Kimberly Snodgrass is a Mother who is dealing with the hell of having a Son imprisoned, while still having the mental, spiritual and emotional capacity to speak for us the Virginia Prisoner and she isn't by herself. From Stacey Thorpe, Michelle Griffin, Natasha White ,Fatimah Muwahhid, Dawn Bryant, Gaye Gardner to name just a pin drop of all our Virginia Women, who in small and large ways, with unfathomable strength, do what their humanness ask of them, not withstanding the tremendous obstacles thrown,tossed at them.The dehumanization they're subjected to because they dare say, Virginia prison official perform your duties lawfully. WE THANK YOU.

WHEN YOU VOTED FOR ABIGAIL SPANBERGER AS GOVERNOR, YOU TRUSTED HER JUDGMENT. WELL PEOPLE SHE'S ASKED FOR INPUT ON REFORMING VIRGINIA'S PRISON SYSTEM, THE LEAST TO BE DONE IS EMAIL IT By William Thorpe

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

I BEGIN: When as prisoners we file requests, engage the Grievance process and or subsequently file law suits. We are in no uncertain terms saying, a condition must be changed, improved on or to make a long story short reformed. Here we are in 2026, there are a lot of Virginia prisoners who probably have heard about me, but don't know me personally, because when I was at the age a lot of 'em are now, waging daily battles with the Virginia prison official, they were not born. My saying this isn't to establish nothing besides: there isn't much about Virginia's imprisonment scheme, to me, that is nuanced or novel, save for something a politician, a Virginia Politician at that has recently done, which is when Governor Abigail Spanberger recently publicly asked for "input" on reforming the prison system. I write to say this, we have to acknowledge and recognize when energy is being infused and directed, where none existed prior and Governor Spanberger is infusing and directing energy at Virginia's imprisonment circumstance where none existed. Now there is criticism of Governor Spanberger, which reporter Sandy Hausman recently aired in an article, presenting the position held by those whose sentiments animated the article, that, the Governor hasn't done enough. I write to make one and only one point, which is, for the first time in Virginia's history and I'll be on solid ground to include our National history, that a sitting Governor, a current Politician has publicly asked the People for INPUT on reforming a prison system. Whether or not people's expectations and anticipations are completely met isn't the point. The point is, Governor Abigail Spanberger has validated Virginia prisoner's, Family, Ally and Friends claims that Virginia's imprisonment scheme must be reformed, with her "public" ask for INPUT and all serious minded Virginians, including prisoners, especially prisoners have to recognize its significance. Now to get into the mechanics of what the Governor is asking. It presents an unstated proposition. Which is, her ask is intended to debunk the anti-prisoner narrative, which goes like this: Politicians shouldn't spend political capital on reforming imprisonment, because no one really cares about prisoners, or there isn't political gain in its reformation. As I've already developed in another work on this topic, there are on the low or conservative side, 675,000 Virginians directly impacted by the life condition of the Virginia prisoner. So if 10% will express their concerns by contacting the Governor with INPUT, not only is that a consequential reality, but it now shows future politicians that speaking on imprisonment issues in the reform context are not political suicide but a win. Secondly, everything in our human condition is about "speech", and who is saying what. Speech creates space by legitimizing an issue with its elevation and there isn't a higher elevation or amplification of an issue than a Governor speaking on it. Governor Spanberger has done that. So now its on the People of Virginia to simply get on their key boards and tap out their concerns to the Governor. The approximately 45,000+ Virginia prisoner should remind family, ally and friends of this simple fact and that the cut off date is September 4th,2026 to email input, which also means views and concerns of the imprisonment scheme. Now here is also what is primary: despite, Governor Spanberger's speech on an issue doesn't in no form or manner define how we as the People grasp it. Governor Spanberger is a Governor with its own specific interests, We are the People, our interest encompasses hers.
