THE ANTI-PAROLE THOUGHT AND ITS PROPONENTS ARE THE MOST INTELLECTUALLY FRAUDULENT IN THE COMMONWEALTH OF VIRGINIA By William Thorpe

Parole as some intellectually honest Judges have noted is part of the sanction of the imprisonment and its scheme. This fact is borne out, evidenced by the legal fights during the adjudication process over disclosure of whether or not the convicted will be eligible for Parole, Pardons, Clemency or Commutation. Now the history of Parole along with Pardons e.t.c appearing as aspect of terms of a Social Contract, for example the Commonwealth of Virginias', is as all other values, processes and applications of a Social Contract, based on: to what extent does it further by stabilizing, the progressive development of the business of human existence. In other words if human existence is a realization of economy, then all the cogs and wheels detailing and defining it, must be understood within its context, especially that of the Justice Infrastructure. What I'm saying is clearly understood and observed in the fact that as soon as a Political-Economy becomes unsustainable, which is easily seen in the emergence of fundamental social dysfunction, the next thing we see is a robust practice of suppression and repression by State Organized-Violence, and its exploitation of "scapegoatism", as Political tactic. The Commonwealth of Virginia isn't any different. In the 1990's Virginia Republicans who at that time held the reins of Virginia's Government, when confronted with social dysfunction reacted with, as one of many responses, the abolishment of parole for Virginians convicted and imprisoned post 1995.In other words the frazzled and at their wits end of the affordability crisis Virginia Wife and Mother, was supposed to find solace, in the fact, that the exploding interest rates on their various credit obligations was assuaged and mitigated by the abolishment of Parole. When regardless of to what extent she might have welcomed the fact that Virginia prisoners were subjected to that proverbial "tightening of the screws", she still retained that presence of mind to know that the typical and average Virginia prisoner had nothing to do with any of the degrading quality of her life and its crisis. So what then were the political gains of the scapegoat politics of abolishing parole along with the entire narrative surrounding it?. The political gains were simple, it furthered that one and only goal of a status quo, that of "Control". Under the gambit rubric by introducing distortions and fraudulent thinking among the People, to the extent that it would enfeeble any honest debate surrounding, not just the Parole question, but the expected and anticipated comprehensive critique of reforming Virginia's imprisonment scheme, which we have seen. Parole as aspect of a imprisonment scheme, has only one function, and that is to be granted. Parole, doesn't exist as a ad hoc means or mechanism of extending imprisonment. Imprisonment can be said to perform as definitions of "Motion", by our ancients, the imprisonment will exist to its determination unless acted upon by any number of forces, which Parole, is one. So by definition Parole exist to be granted, given or provided. This existence of Parole begins to be conditioned, qualified or "corrupted", by factors and suppositions that are at odds with its dictatorship of intent, which again is to provide release from imprisonment. Now let me say this, there isn't a singular mind and emotion that recognizes every single human condition and is subsequently able to respond in a comprehensive accord. In other words, no one has all of the answers. The business of human existence, experienced as the human condition, is that of encountering, learning, cognition and approximate resolution.

What the remaining process of Parole in Virginia teaches is the mechanics of it's usurpation and subornation, by undemocratic and illiberal reactionary forces in Virginia. Another lesson the anti-Parole stance allows is, even though we, on the side of Virginia Prison reform, are aware that deceptiveness is the motive force of it's thought, it allows and permits the Virginia People to begin to see for themselves the depths of its intellectual fraudulence and corrupt character. Because the fundamental purpose of Parole, Pardons e.t.c within a Justice system, is uncomplicatedly clear to the most apathetic socio-person, that not only does it present and preserve that ability for a Society, as Virginia to claim being Civilized. But it is a practical nod and recognition to the fact the "Justice" process and its adjudication outcome is dependent on any number of existing factors, which the availability, would and could have produced a completely different result. So Parole along with the other processes of Pardons, Commutations and Clemencies, exist to state that a Society isn't hubristic that it isn't capable of being intellectually honest to recognize the validity of the critique that the socio-person, doesn't experience the adjudicative Due-Process of Law, equally with the necessary resources to comprehensively access it and command its equitable attention and professionalism. It is commonly stated that there isn't a single aspect of Society or a Social Contract that isn't a critique-portal of its whole and the Speech of the anti-Parole folks in the Commonwealth of Virginia, again proves it. Because when Virginia Republicans under the titular leadership of Governor George Allen of the Macaca racist slur infamy, with the collaboration of Virginia's Corporate Media and the complicity of silence from Virginia's status quo or legacy Institutions, abolished Parole in 1995 they knew what they were doing. But as insidious as the abolishment was, it complied with Virginia's Legislative Process. Where the intellectual fraud of the anti-Parole proponent since, stands naked, is in the intellectual distortion they resort to in attacking the remaining Parole process available for eligible Virginia Prisoners. Which is this: they disingenuously and pathetically indulge in the insults of redefining, words, they present unscrupulous framing of the dictatorship of intent, which simply is Parole exist to release the Prisoner from imprisonment. So, when we see the imposition of an idealistic scheme as the work of a parole board, what we instantly recognize is, this process is extra-judicial and ad hoc. Because even though Virginia's Parole Board is a creation of legislative action, its process is ambiguously arbitrary and "legally" capricious. At this point in this work, I want to excerpt the assertions of a Virginian who is dedicated to reforming Virginia's prisons and holding the Virginia prison official accountable. [Pastor Harvey Yoder a Mennonite and Co-Founder of the VALLEY JUSTICE COALITION, whose advocacy work for the Virginia Prisoner, I highly respect].Recently wrote in his newsletter HARDTIME VIRGINIA SUMMER 2026 Vol. II No.2, under the Header WHAT'S UP WITH THE NEW PAROLE BOARD? and I excerpt "Most of us were hopeful that the newly appointed Parole Board sworn in in March would be more generous in offering release to deserving men and women in prison. [He continues] "While this may seem puzzling, my understanding after talking with others with the same concerns is that the Board is getting themselves set up with a process for making the best possible decision while receiving a lot of new information to train themselves, as none of them have ever done this before".He makes my point.

WE CANNOT EQUIVOCATE IN OUR SPEECH AND POSITION ON REFORM OF VIRGINIA'S IMPRISONMENT SCHEME By William Thorpe

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

Equivocation on the position of reform of Virginia's Imprisonment scheme, also includes this. The argument advanced by some that certain critiques of the Virginia Politician ally of the Virginia Prison Official, is harsh and therefore counterproductive. This specific argument isn't limited to the work of Prison Reform in Virginia but is historically typical of any type of reform Speech, meaning activity, of any System. So, the fact that it appears within the context of Virginia Prison Reform only attest to the potency of the ongoing Speech or activity of holding the Virginia Prison Official Accountable. However, there is another aspect of equivocation, not that it is intentional, but the results or consequences are the same nonetheless and it is also to a degree another bane of reform, irrespective of context. I want to focus a bit on this aspect, because it undermines and enables division of unity among the People. Again this disunity isn't intentional, still the result and consequence are disastrous. I BEGIN: The Virginia Prisoner exist as a created entity of Virginia Law, not as classes but as class. Whatever classification and category appears as designation, isn't for the purpose of treatment but control. What I mean is the Virginia Prisoner is created as objective of a controlling intent. Let me say this, the mechanism of the transformation of the Virginia Socio-person into the Virginia Prisoner, is "control", besides the fact that activity ensured the intensification of control as in imprisonment, the existence of the dictatorship of intent, as dynamic of Virginia's Social Contract is the driver. What this means is the intention of controlling, perceives the transformed previous socio-person into Prisoner, as having been forever "Identified". So whether the descriptive "violent or nonviolent" is ascribed contextually to a Virginia Prisoner, it has nothing to do and isn't an operative of the one and only qualifier of subject within the human condition and its business of human existence, which is, what is the manner and level of contribution towards the progressive Development of the business of human existence. I am using the descriptive, violent and nonviolent, because it is the most casual means of disunity among the People. I'm using "People", not as a category of Family, Ally and Friends of the Virginia Prisoner, but all of the People including reactionaries and the basic garden variety misanthrope, because the reactionary and misanthrope exist not as a function of objective "thought", but its lack. Because what logic of defense of being in opposition to the social positive work of ensuring subordination of the Virginia Prison official as function of Virginia governance, to the Accountability-Function Supremacy of the People, can be asserted as, in pursuit of and towards the progressive Development of the business of human existence? Other than to simply exist within that idealistic realm of fraudulent thought. Yet we encounter numbers of us pushing for reform of Virginia's imprisonment scheme, saying, the nonviolent prisoner should be rehabilitated at the expense of the "violent" and regardless of the intent of the argument being presented, what happens is the controlling dictatorship of intent simply welcomes the disunity and exploits it, not in the affirmation of the accountability-function, but as a co-opting gambit. So what we have to come to terms with, within the work of reforming Virginia's imprisonment scheme and holding the Virginia Prison official accountable, is formulation and application of recognition and treatment of the Virginia Prisoner, must firstly acknowledge the Accountability-Function.

LETS START WITH THIS By William Thorpe

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

So, on the issue and question of Reform of Virginia's Imprisonment Scheme, despite the answer being Accountability and Transparency, the work is how do we achieve it. There are a lot of hearts and minds in Virginia along with other voices around the Nation and in some cases Internationally, directing energy and effort towards its realization. So recently during the announcement by Governor Abigail Spanberger of her newly formed, Community Council on Corrections, she framed the existence of the Virginia Prisoner, as "LIVING", in Virginia prisons. Now "living", under the Imprisonment context has moral obligations of the Commonwealth on a couple of aspects, (1) recognition and (2) treatment. So Governor Abigail Spanberger cannot recognize that the Virginia prisoner is living in a Virginia prison cell and then turn a blind eye to treatment by the Virginia prison official. Now this recognition is a step. But what I want to focus on is this: The reason the Virginia prisoner's current condition is existence, notwithstanding Governor Spanberger's declaration of "living", is because of the regime of dehumanization historically meted and practiced by the Virginia prison official as professional philosophy on the highly prized operative of "lack of transparency", of the condition of Virginia's Imprisonment scheme. Towards this lack of transparency, which in itself is as much an objective as the professional behavior and philosophy of dehumanizing the Virginia prisoner, the Virginia Prison Official enjoys the cover, support, defense and protection of reactionary Political allies and the Editorializing of Virginia's Corporate Media, who simply exploit instead of ameliorating and resolving. Despite their reactionary work, they don't have a monopoly on the formulation of the narrative of Virginia's Imprisonment scheme, that demands reform. Such ownership of narrative is on the side of Reform, meaning bringing transparency and accountability to the habits and culture of the Virginia prison official. So considering that the majority of the offensive and violative professional behavior of the Virginia prison official occurs in the abject conditions of Solitary Confinement. We say to Governor Spanberger's Council on Corrections, for starters, establish the availability of means (we leave it up to your getting input from Virginia prisoners) for all Prisoners held in longterm Solitary Confinement at all of the major Solitary Confinement housing, to weekly state that they received, the basics of outside exercise, showers, meals (provided according to Virginia Department of Corrections Operating Procedure and The Food Service Manual).Secondly, the Council should require explanations of every single aspect of the management and Operation of Virginia's Solitary Confinement regime and any other Imprisonment condition, regardless of label that is categorically, Solitary Confinement, along with opportunity to propose actual revision. If we are serious about Prison Reform, holding the Prison Official Accountable along with Transparency of the Professional behavior, then, the People of Virginia, as Supreme Power and authority cannot, continue accepting and maintaining that convention of idealistic pro forma oversight by allies of the Virginia Prison Official.

Lying about recidivism didn't start with Spanberger it is part of the foundation of VADOC

 SUMMARY OF THE POST

Title: Is The Virginia Department of Corrections (VADOC) Counting Dead and Terminally Ill Released Prisoners In Its Claims of Low Recidivism? Author: William Thorpe

1. Context: Virginia Abolished Parole in 1995

Thorpe begins by explaining that parole was abolished in 1995 , leaving only two groups eligible for release:

• People imprisoned before 1995 (geriatric or legacy parole)

• People imprisoned after 1995 with sentences short enough to finish within 27 years

2. Why VADOC’s “Low Recidivism” Claim Is Misleading

Thorpe argues that VADOC’s recidivism numbers are structurally distorted because:

• Post‑1995 prisoners serve extremely long sentences, so very few have been released and had the chance to “recidivate” at all. This makes the pool too small to measure meaningfully.

• Harold Clarke has acknowledged that prisoners are staying longer, which further shrinks the recidivism pool.

Thus, the only group large enough to measure recidivism is pre‑1995 prisoners — but that group is now elderly, infirm, or dead.

3. The Core Accusation: VADOC Is Counting the Dead

Thorpe states plainly that:

• Many pre‑1995 prisoners released on geriatric or legacy parole die within two years of release.

• Dead prisoners, terminally ill prisoners, and severely disabled prisoners cannot return to prison, so including them in recidivism calculations artificially lowers the rate.

• Therefore, VADOC’s “low recidivism” claim is deceptive, insidious, and distorted.

4. Author’s Closing

Thorpe signs off from solitary confinement in Texas, noting Virginia exiled him there.

 ANALYSIS — WHAT THIS POST IS REALLY DOING

A. Thorpe is exposing a statistical trick

The post argues that VADOC’s recidivism numbers are not just misleading — they are structurally impossible to interpret honestly because:

• The post‑1995 population is still incarcerated.

• The pre‑1995 population is dying.

This means VADOC is effectively saying: “Look how few people return to prison — because they’re dead.”

This is the heart of the indictment.

B. It’s a critique of political culture, not just math

Thorpe frames recidivism manipulation as part of Virginia’s political culture of concealment, where institutions protect themselves by:

• Using numbers that sound good but hide structural harm

• Presenting “success” metrics that rely on the deaths of elderly prisoners

• Avoiding transparency about who is actually counted

This aligns with VAPAC’s broader theme: Virginia’s institutions normalize deception to maintain legitimacy.

C. It challenges Governor Spanberger’s public claims

Although written in 2022, the argument directly undermines the Governor’s current narrative that recidivism is “at the lowest.” Thorpe’s logic shows that such claims are:

• Not evidence of successful rehabilitation

• Not evidence of safer prisons

• Not evidence of humane policy

They are evidence of statistical manipulation enabled by the abolition of parole.

D. It reframes the moral question

Thorpe’s deeper point: If the state’s “success” depends on counting dead people as “non‑recidivists,” then the metric itself is morally bankrupt.

VADOC’s recidivism numbers are not low because people are thriving after release — they’re low because Virginia abolished parole and the people who qualify for release are elderly, terminally ill, or dying. Counting the dead as “success stories” is not reform. It’s statistical fraud.

YOU DON'T HAVE TO CARE ABOUT PRISONERS AND VIRGINIA'S IMPRISONMENT SCHEME. BUT IF YOU HAVE EXPECTATIONS OF A "PROCESS", WHICH IS, RULE OF LAW, THEN YOU SHOULD CARE THAT THE VIRGINIA PRISON OFFICIAL VIOLATES IT MATTER OF FACTLY, SHAMELESSLY By William Thorpe

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

In April 2025 I shed light on an incident, which a part of the title was, THE EGREGIOUS CASE OF BURKE v. STANLEY YOUNG 2024 VA. App. LEXIS 550. A Virginia State case, presented by Mr. Conrad Burke, then a Prisoner held at Virginia's Pocahontas State Correctional Center. Look People these examples of incidents would be meaningless, if the State of Virginia wasn't accusing, charging, convicting and imprisoning People for violating Laws, which the State then turns right around and violates those same Laws, in worst ways during its scheme of the imprisonment and imprisoning People. Then to compound it or clothe it in aggravating circumstances. We The People, (including Prisoners, especially Prisoners) in whose name every single construct and term of Virginia's Social Contract, is contextually formulated on are hectored at and lectured to, explicitly and implicitly by every last one of Virginia's Social Contractual Institutions, who exist in abject betrayal of advancing that one and only function, that of developing the business of human existence, by compromising it on a smorgasbord of cravenness. From elected Politicians as Legislators, to embody Virginia governance, to its Religious, Academia, Labor-Business antagonism, through its Media, Arts and Entertainment Speech, with the inanity of "don't do the crime, if you can't do the time" as response to the basic and fundamental ask of holding the Virginia Prison Official Accountable for crimes done as "professional" behavior. Before I continue, I have to point this out, the Commonwealth of Virginia for better or worse, lays claim, to a specific political speech, which is constituted as a Commonwealth or Popular Sovereignty, meaning the People are the Supreme Power. When we say "the People", this isn't the sort of politics where the very next question is who and what are the People as in the subset this or subset that sophistry, of the reactionary Antonin Scalia, presenting itself as materialist jurisprudence, when we clearly see it's Crow feet of supremacist presumptions with its decaying hang nails and bunions. The People, despite and besides, that due to systemic ignorance's isn't grasped as such, is there full of the energy of limitless potential, which we perceive not in its legatee affirmative but in every single last gimmick and gambit unleashed by the Organized-Violence of reaction towards its subjugation and suppression. So we encounter it as the above-the-lawism of the Virginia prison official, when under law is what permits and allows the prison official's presumptions, that professional existence is carte blanche to violate. Its under the declared Constituted aspirations of the Commonwealth and its process that we experience the depths of its violation in its scapegoating of the Virginia Prisoner, where we see it again as antagonism of, if soil or the Earth was "blessed" to have been shaped, formed, manipulated and breathed into to "be" Man, yet it is subsequently cursed and without cause, because of a series of events, which if we are to accept the narrative, absolutely and unconditionally was preordained and foreseen. As in the Virginia Prisoner is defacto a creation of Virginia law, as such the most lawful of Virginia's Speech, yet it's also with the Prisoner we experience Virginia's Speech violative of its own law at its comprehensive worst. Which this example, clearly shows, HOLLEY v. COMBS 134 F 4th 142.

Holley v. Combs, isn't an outlier. As a matter of fact we won't even have a Holley v. Combs at 134 F4th 142, if three Judges of the Court of Appeals for the 4th Circuit, specifically, Judges GREGORY, WYNN and HEYTENS, hadn't applied the correct and appropriate jurisprudence, which Judge WYNN wrote the Opinion and stated, "These allegations [by Holley] paint a picture of deliberate retaliation against Holley for complaining about his conditions of confinement. Further, according to Holley, these punishments were not isolated occurrences. He alleges a pattern of retaliatory treatment against Prisoners deemed to be disruptive. Holley cites news reports that include claims that officers assaulted Prisoners...". Judge Wynn also cites, [Kevin Rashid] JOHNSON v. WARNER 200 F. App'x 270, 271 (4th Cir 2006) (Per curiam) (vacating denial of in Forma pauperis status where a prisoner alleged " a number of assaults by prison guards". I BEGIN: What Mr. Garfield William Holley, exposes and unequivocally challenges with his Holley v. Combs case against the depravity of Koncentration Kamp Wallens Ridge State Prison Officials, is, for example: this continuum of window dressing performative prison reform Speech, again presented in the notion by Governor Abigail Spanberger, that a simple advisory and suggestive entity as her recently created GOVERNOR'S COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIP COUNCIL ON CORRECTIONS, can even dare speak to on its face, without any comprehensive scrutiny and interrogation of the Virginia prison official's mindset, the very operational philosophy of Virginia's Department of Corrections that can only come from the bully pulpit of a Virginia Governor, as actual Accountability-Function of governance. Mr. Holley's case not only indicts the petty-tyranny of the savagery and barbarism of the Virginia prison official, in his case at Koncentration Kamp Wallens Ridges. But it ensuingly exposes, the entire incident as a cultural habit, which I have been consistently and laboriously critiquing its systemic existence. Because, in order for Mr. Holley to proceed in any Court, whether Federal or State, he had to have went through the administrative process of satisfying the Federal and State of Virginia Grievance procedure, which is no small feat. After surmounting that hurdle and let's not lose sight of the horrendous acts he said that Wallens Ridge prison official subjected him to, which no one in the entire Virginia Department of Corrections saw fit according to their sworn oath to uphold Law, that these claims by a Prisoner must be investigated. Then, when Mr. Holley made it to U.S. Federal Courts, those initial Judges, again dismissed his claims on the typical moves by the Office of the Attorney General of Virginia, who defends Virginia prison officials accused of crimes, malfeasances and wrong doing, in the name of the People of Virginia who rarely are told by Virginia corporate media that their tax money is being spent defending Virginia prison officials who are accused of behaving as Mr. Holley claimed. Let's focus a bit on Virginia's corporate or mainstream media and the way it handles what it means to inform, educate and give insight to the Virginia socio-person for the purpose of determining whether its elected leaders are behaving appropriately according to the privilege, responsibility and obligation the electoral activity has accorded them. In one word Virginia mainstream media editorializes its function, when the issues receiving the coverage are of a specific formulation typifying a demographic existing under a particular sort of dynamic within Virginia's Social Contract. Issues of Virginia's Imprisonment scheme are the low hanging fruit of coverage. Which case as Mr. Holley's, attest to.
