WELL FOLKS AN EN BANC RULING BY THE U.S. COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE 5TH CIRCUIT DECLARES THAT THERE ISN'T A "CONSTITUTIONAL" RIGHT TO CLEAN WATER AND HOW DOES IT IMPACT OUR WORK OF VIRGINIA PRISON REFORM By William Thorpe

You know its easy to simply write off the Judges of the 5th Circuit as hapless philistines, caught up in the rip-tide of their idealistic reaction and presumptions, but that would merely be mirroring their intention. On the other hand what their presumptions, which we see in full and complete display, in the matter of STERLING v. CITY OF JACKSON 2026 U.S APP. LEXIS 27560 enable is that neatly ribbon tied, Klieg light lit packaging of all that is bane to our Human Condition with the instruction, that grasping the dialectic is key as the one and only necessary beacon illuminating our path forward. Because without appreciating the dialectic, which despite existence of epochal insidious machinations devoted to its distortions and denial, we would lack that clearly defined and unambiguously uncontrovertible and unimpeachable vantage from which to expose the strawmanesque opposition to our work of Prison Reform. So in accord we recognize the dialectical utility of bigotry in all its reactionary shapes. I BEGIN: On September 4, 2026 an en banc sitting of Judges on the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit, affirmed a lower Courts dismissal of claims, presented in Federal Suit by People of The City of Jackson, Mississippi, of STATE-CREATED DANGER, ENDANGERING BODILY INTEGRITY, (and I paraphrase) by providing, "exposing" them to contaminated, polluted and toxic water and their GOVERNMENT AND PUBLIC OFFICIALS SUBSEQUENTLY LYING TO THEM ABOUT THE HARMFUL NATURE OF THE WATER. THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE, which is the primary lattice and framework of THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES and THE UNIVERSE OF ITS STATUTES, declares: "WE HOLD THESE TRUTHS TO BE SELF-EVIDENT,THAT ALL MEN ARE CREATED EQUAL THAT THEY ARE ENDOWED BY THEIR CREATOR WITH CERTAIN UNALIENABLE RIGHTS THAT AMONG THESE,ARE LIFE,.....",and as such as the above quoted words were being penned, already existing clothed in violation, (see the chattel enslavement of Black People, by penman, Thomas Jefferson) are we finding and encountering its modern and contemporary co-conspirators, continuing the violation in the matter of STERLING v. CITY OF JACKSON 2026 U.S APP.LEXIS 27560,with the pathetically confounding logic that can only be critiqued as fatuous sophistry, that LIFE and the ALIVE STATE and QUALITY can be arrived at, achieved and maintained with "contaminated" and harmful water? Not only do we have the "unalienable rights", directive of LIFE, of the DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE, but we have, the proscriptions of amendments to The Constitution, specifically, The Fifth and Fourteenth, stating " No person shall be.....deprived of life....",Again affirming the requisite a priori of LIFE. Yet those en banc Judges of the 5th Circuit apparently like dervishes, like Saint Teresa obedient to no one but the ecstatic consumption of their idealistic presumptions, which even as their own numbers halfheartedly break ranks to dissent,(see DISSENT OF HAYNES,STEWART, HIGGINSON, DOUGLAS and RAMIREZ),as if in a fleeting moment of lucidity, where the dissent, reveals: "I start with what the en banc majority opinion omits. If one were to read only the en banc majority opinion they could be forgiven for misunderstanding Plaintiffs allegations." [People read the entirety of the Opinion and Dissent, you will begin to see what this work of Reform and achieving the Accountability-Function of governance is. Because in Virginia Prisons we are confronted with the same condition the "Free" People of Jackson are faced with].

THE WORK OF REFORM IS MORE THAN EXPOSING THE VIOLATIONS OF THE VIRGINIA PRISON OFFICIAL, BUT PRIMARILY IT'S ABOUT IT'S ORGANIZING-EXPLANATION TO THE PEOPLE OF VIRGINIA By William Thorpe

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

I BEGIN: How many different ways can we state that the Professional Behavior of the Virginia Prison Official, in its savagery, barbarism and dehumanization is simply a reflection of the basic and fundamental realization of Virginia's Social Contract ?. Of course we can't say it enough, because repetition is the locomotive or engine of understanding and our social comprehension and if there is one intention, where the fruits of repetition are a vital must, its in the Speech or Work of Reform.(Again I need to restate this, when I say "SPEECH", I'm, stating activity or work of Human Existence and Condition in its most qualified, germane, salient and quintessential nature. Now I'll say this there are those who are vehemently against defining human activity as Speech, which I will not waste time and energy expenditure, in exposing their "30 pieces of silver", incentive). What I mean by ORGANIZING-EXPLANATION, is this, there isn't anyone "subject to the jurisdiction thereof", of the Commonwealth of Virginia, daft to the existence of its Social Contract, Contradictions and Antagonisms, otherwise there wouldn't be a sharpening and heightened focus of the mind and self of the socio-person upon interaction with the uniforms of its Organized-Violence. So, the question isn't about the mental-labor of lecturing to the People for the need of "reform", because homeostasis is already accomplishing that, yes the lecturing. What organizing-explanation is the value and expression that to attain homeostatic function without the inflammatory bane of that tyrannical Social Contractual terms of "fight or flight", sharpening and heightened focus demanded upon interaction with the ever present contradictory and antagonistic points of the State, there has to be that "unity" of the People's Speech, resolute in resolving the Antagonism. The Virginia Prison Official is a function of the State or Commonwealth of Virginia. So for the comprehensive purpose of subordinating the Virginia prison official to the Accountability-Function of Virginia's governance, we cannot isolate and sever the professional behavior of the prison official from its nature of function of the State. The Commonwealth of Virginia despite the herculean work done by the violators if its Peoples Will and Constituted Aspirations, is an entity of the People, created and structured by the People and that "subject to the jurisdiction thereof" is its unambiguous and unequivocal fact. What we in our reform Speech cannot do is give the System or Social Contract a pass, by abrogating its responsibility, which is what we do when we personalize the violations of the prison official as if such occurrences are outside of the Social Contract.

VIRGINIA CODE 19.2-11.14 IS NOT ONLY VAGUE IN ITS DEFINITION OF THE VIRGINIA DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS (VADOC) USE OF A.I. (ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE), BUT IT HAS NOT EVEN BEEN TESTED IN COURT By William Thorpe

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

The Virginia Prison Official and The Virginia Department of Corrections have been using and applying A.I.(Artificial Intelligence) or Machine Learning in its various forms for a while now. But that is not the prompt for this work. What I want to simply stress is without the focus and attention of the People of Virginia on how every and anything are done by the various forces of the States Organized-Violence arrayed in their name claiming and alleging to be functioning in their interest, including the use of A.I., we will once again be confronted with another emergence of Contradictions and Antagonisms to be resolved, even as we are still contending with antagonisms form the 19th Century. So before this baby A.I. grows into that proverbial behemoth 1000 Ib Gorilla, we should compel the necessary transparency of its use by the Virginia Prison Official while there is National attention on it. As it currently stands, the Virginia Department of Corrections has established OPERATING PROCEDURE 435.5--ELECTRONIC TECHNOLOGY SUPERVISION PROGRAM/A.I. ADJACENT SYSTEMS and it has been updated from 2024-2026,having as authority VIRGINIA CODE 19.2-11.14 USE OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE-BASED TOOL. The law has the typical verbiage, when Politicians are not too keen on saying what they supposedly are. Which will then need and require Judges in Courts to flesh it out based on actions presented. But most importantly it is an issue to be elevated by the People by making it into a Campaign issue beyond the formulations of the anti-Data Center Speech (and when I say Speech, what I mean is that motive of positive work or "Political Action"). So VADOC's O.P.435.5: Governs ELECTRONIC MONITORING (EM), GPS SATELLITE TRACKING, VOICE RECOGNITION MONITORING, ELECTRONIC MONITORING SOFTWARE ON PERSONAL ELECTRONIC DEVICES (PEDs), [VADOC doesn't describe this capability as A.I., but are Algorithmic surveillance systems, that (a) TRACK MOVEMENT (b) TRIGGER AUTOMATED ALERTS (c) IDENTITY VERIFICATION (d) ENFORCE INCLUSION/EXCLUSION ZONES (e) AUTOMATED SCHEDULE COMPLIANT CHECKS. VADOC's--APPLICATION:1.1 EM- [Telephone based or Transmitter based devices continuously 24/7 monitoring via private vendor systems. Automated alerts for violations (curfew, schedules, zone breaches). Alerts are algorithmically generated by vendor software]. 1.2 GPS MONITORING- [For High Risk cases (see HAMLET v. IRVIN 2024 U.S.DIST. LEXIS 81233 for analysis of VADOC's description of High Risk), Real time satellite tracking, Automated Geofencing (inclusion/exclusion zones) (see CHATERIE v. UNITED STATES 146 S. Ct. 2193 for precedent setting ruling on Geofencing under 4th amendment construction, but isn't necessarily applicable to prison), Automated violation notification-Algorithmic location surveillance, not human].1.3 VOICE RECOGNITION MONITORING--[This is closest to A.I within VADOC's Documented Procedure, Uses voice biometrics to verify identity, compares prisoner, probationer, parolees voice sample to stored templates, Automated compliance checks, Voice biometrics are machine-learning based, even though VADOC does not label it such].1.4 MONITORING SOFTWARE ON PERSONAL ELECTRONIC DEVICES (PED's)--[VADOC can install monitoring software on Phones, Tablets, Computers. Tracking use, log communications, enforce restrictions, generate automated alerts. This is algorithmic surveillance not human]. NOTE: VIRGINIA CODE 19.2-11.14 [USE OF A.I.] Purports to define VADOC's use and application of A.I., however there isn't any transparent, verifiable proof that VADOC is complying. VADOC may use A.I.. or algorithmic tools but cannot make decisions solely based on A.I. outputs. A.I, recommendations must be reviewed, validated by a Human and A.I. outputs can be challenged just as one would evidence in court proceedings.[NOTE: but to what extent does the typical Virginia prisoner, Family, Ally and Friend have the necessary resources to engage in the sort of struggle with the Virginia prison official, if and when it comes to light that the prison official has violated Virginia Code 19.2-11.14 and Operating Procedure 435.5 ?. This conclusion begins to show why the politicization of the issue of the transparency of A.I. use by the Virginia prison official is primarily an electoral and campaign issue and the People of Virginia must compel its relative framing as such by prospective Politicians seeking leadership Speech in the Commonwealth.] Secondly there has been a proposed expansion of Va. Code 19.2-11.14 by HB 1170 presuming a more defined oversight, but to date, the Bill is yet to develop. Thirdly, there hasn't been a clear evidence and indication that the Virginia prison official is deploying A.I.in the prohibited ways of (1) PREDICTIVE RISK ASSESSEMENT, (2) RECIDIVISM PREDICTION [NOTE: There is circumstantial and logical inference, that the infamous and obsequious to reactionary suppositions and politics, former Director of The Virginia Department of Corrections Harold Clarke revealed such a violation, to the Virginia Senate Finance and Appropriations Committee on May 17,2022 with the proffer that "54% of [Virginia] prisoners scheduled for release due to the Earned Sentence Credit law have a medium to high risk of violent recidivism", (my comments on Clarke's assertions are in the work HAROLD CLARKE,DIRECTOR OF VIRGINIA DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS AND THE 54%,which a net search will produce)] (3) PRISONER CLASSIFICATION, (4) DISCIPLINARY SYSTEMS, (5) FACIAL RECOGNITION INSIDE PRISONS, (6) BEHAVIORAL ANALYSIS, (7) CONTRABAND DETECTION, (8) EMAIL e.t.c SCANNING [NOTE: more information can be found at HTTPS://VADOC.GOV./FILES/OPERATING PROCEDURES/400].

THE VIRGINIA PRISON OFFICIAL USE OF A.I. (ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE) and ADJACENT SYSTEMS MUST BE TRANSPARENT TO THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE OF VIRGINIA The case KECK v. COMMONWEALTH 2011 U.S. DIST. LEXIS 115795, revealed what the edge of the probable and possible gratuitous violations of the imprisoned Virginian, as it relates to its opportunity always being present for the Prison employee, whom the People of Virginia have accorded the privilege of performing their wishes of imprisoning their fellow socio-person looks like. Because Donald P. Keck, employed as a Psychology Associate by the Virginia Department of Corrections at its Powhatan Correctional Center, was caught concealing Virginia prisoner information on his work computer. Keck as a human being and socio-person is irrelevant to our work, save to show, evidence and embody our Speech, that the Virginia prison official and the Virginia Department of Corrections as it concerns the application of A.I and it corollaries cannot be allowed to continue on in the antiquated vein of self-policing, because our sensibilities are comprehensively strafed with facts upon facts, not conjecture but events. From Harold Clarke agitating against the Earned Sentence Credits law and the Virginia Peoples wishes, with the enfeebled fear mongering, highly probably generated A.I. hallucinations that 54% of released prisoners would violently reoffend, to the sordid incident of Donald P. Keck malfeasantly squirreling data of the life existence of imprisoned Virginians on a computer through the dehumanization of the Virginia Prisoner by the prison official.

SO YOU FEEL THAT PRISON REFORM IN VIRGINIA IS A JOKE MEANING THE PEOPLE OF VIRGINIA ARE A JOKE By William Thorpe

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

Recently there was an anonymous comment to my WORD MEANING, work, that and I paraphrase, they agreed with the point I was making, which they claimed to have also been making, then they concluded with prison reform in Virginia is a joke. Now regardless of and besides its mindset and intention, there are certain incontrovertible and unimpeachable facts defining any and all Reform push including that of Virginia's imprisonment scheme. Which irrespective of "intent "expression are irrefutable. In other words if the purpose or intention of the critique is to discredit or demoralize the energy exerted in the push for reform, which the anonymous comment referenced can be in its mold. Or it is evidence of dissatisfaction with the circumstances of the reform formulation and agitation and as such always turns out to be is due to the undisciplined presence of idealistic assumptions and the luxury of taking things for granted. The reality is, just as it is opposing the reform formulation, it is also (and this is where we find its true significance) enabling the emerging contours and definitions of Reform, to stand clearly, revealed pulsating with its undeniable logic. Which in our case is Virginia's imprisonment scheme, to stand revealed in all its practical legitimacy. What I mean by, practical legitimacy, is this: the work of Reform is specifically about introducing and exposing, to the People an exposé narrative of the existence of that which is to be reformed, or in other words a reminder of its history and origin, that is a compromising fallacy of what the People have come to accept, hold and understand not merely as true, but most importantly to be in the interest of their all around realized development. In other words the People upon encountering that inevitability of the critique, or exposé, which the object of reform has forever anticipated and expected would arrive, find themselves naturally existing DIS-ORGANIZED, untethered from the controlling Social Contract suppositions of what they once accepted, defined and tolerated its yoke as Tradition, as truth of existence of socio-personhood. Because it isn't that the Reform Push, is at odds with Social Contract, but Reform's Speech is wrangling clarity and honesty to the word meaning of "interest", which as it concerns our work, Virginia's imprisonment scheme. Meaning Virginia's imprisonment scheme "has" an interest, that is "supposedly" reflective and representative of the Constituted Aspirations of the People of Virginia and the work of reform or the Reform Push, emerges saying, yes, but there are a couple of things we must clear and confront. Because if Virginia's Justice Infrastructure and the Imprisonment scheme speak due to and under the authority of the People, then we have to have the correct definition of the People, which will then lead us to the honesty of the "mission" of the imprisonment scheme, that is in accord with the Constituted Aspirations of the People. Now this is the crux. What I mean is this: As I've described Reform is exposing Speech, or the exposé of history and origin. Which Social Contract interacts with on the terms of "practical legitimacy", or the requisite attention to its intention, purpose and function. Now here is where we meet the mindless context of Virginia's prison reform is a joke anonymous comment, because if "anonymous" is concerned with the work of prison reform, they would find that in Virginia's Governor Abigail Spanberger do we have the historic first of the "Public" acknowledgement for unambiguous prison reform, SO seize it.

YES WE HAVE OUR INDIVIDUAL VIRGINIA IMPRISONMENT SCHEME EXPERIENCES, BUT GOVERNOR ABIGAIL SPANBERGER WITH HER DESCRIPTIVE OF THE VIRGINIA PRISONER AS "LIVING" IS CREATING SPACE FOR THE REALIZATION OF THE ACCOUNTABILITY-FUNCTION OF GOVERNANCE By William Thorpe

What we as Virginia Prisoner's expect of and from those who speak for us, is Firstly the recognition, understanding and grasp of when Political-catalytic space is being created and most importantly, secondly how to then occupy it with the necessary realizing abilities of what it means to reform Virginia's imprisonment scheme by holding the Virginia Prison Official accountable. Every time a non-imprisoned Virginian or person has complained to a Virginia Government element viz the prison official about an experience a Virginia prisoner has been subjected to within the imprisonment scheme, it is an effort and endeavor of reform and a realization of the accountability-function, but and this will sound counterintuitive, but the infrastructure of the imprisonment scheme welcomes it .Because, it doesn't compel it to cease and desist in the offensive behavior, but rather it treats the circumstance of the complaint as a singular and isolated occurrence an insane affirmation of the systems acceptability and not as its inherently alienated and destructive comprehensive character. This isn't unique to imprisonment, but it is a primary and fundamental nature of the super infrastructure of Society or the Social Contract. Where the entire energy of existence of the Social Contract is spent and expended in distracting attention from the fact that the insufferable circumstances of everyday life are not isolated happenstances but inexorable and inevitable consequences and results of its structure and terms of relations and if the imprisonment scheme is a primary component, then it goes to say that, within the imprisonment scheme we will encounter exponential expenditure of distorting energy. What this then means is, the work of subordinating the Virginia Prison Official to the will of the People under the accountability-function dialectic of governance, is primarily that of showing and establishing that the Prison Official's professional behavior of impunity, is not that "dumbing down" narrative of the "bad apple", but is the system behaving as it is intended to. None of this is insight, because too many damn People have died stressing this simple fact. So it isn't that as a People we are historically oblivious and ignorant, to this basic political-economy machination. But as our ancients observed, that due to that ever present Social Contract dialectic and its distorting requirement, which in the absence of an analysis based organized and structured critique. What then happens is, in our individual personification as socio-persons, experiencing, existence as a peered through communal aperture, we begin to grasp that the accepted " life" happenstances are not happenstances after all but systemic outcomes, which only exist because our disclaimers are derided as illegitimate and evidence of moral failings. In other words we are not socio-persons enough that narratives of our existence compel attention. This brings me to Governor Spanberger's recent acknowledgement that and I paraphrase fellow Virginians are living imprisoned in Virginia prisons. As I have noted in earlier works her descriptive, "living", accomplishes the thesis of holding the Virginia Prison official accountable. On two accounts, firstly considering the Virginia Prison official is accountable to her as Executive of the Commonwealth, she cannot then support, endorse and defend the practices of dehumanizing the Virginia prisoner. Secondly and most important the necessary political space now exist for practical Prison reform.
