OUR LABOR GROUPS ARE RELATIVELY ABSENT FROM THE WORK OF PRISON REFORM IN VIRGINIA II By William Thorpe

There is a reason why human behavior that unambiguously and unequivocally harms, besides the assigned distinction and categorization by Law, is, notwithstanding political exploitation by either being underscored or diminished and minimized, not comprehensively recognized as such, in itself. Which firstly tells us that whatever stance taken by and asserted by the justice application has nothing to do with the repair of Harm and it's commensurate effect and impact but instead, secondly has a more biased purpose, which then reveals and shows that the purpose or utility is in opposition. Now what I'll show with relative analysis in this work, is what I mean by, that biased purpose or utility is in opposition, with that opposition materializing into and manifesting as Labor and its organized groups, to be specific Labor is the target and why it is relatively absent from the work of prison reform and the specificity of this work, Virginia. I BEGIN: I've been breathing on and giving air to the analysis that prison and the imprisonment circumstance is all about being that proverbial stick to compel, "work", into an organized, in itself, entity, Labor, existing in a organized manner for another logic of interest, that even if it's own particularized interest intersects, with that "other" it is nominal and in order for that "other" to maintain that nominalism as its optimal maintenance condition, which is consequently punitive, the only method and technique our primitive Social Contract as dominated by that "other" or a specific interest bias has realized and developed is, "aversion", which is what prison and the imprisonment circumstance is. In otherwords our primitive Social Contract and its logic recognizes, that, that in itself freedom of action is only a for itself euphemism of liberty as work and its existence to produce for and on its status quo terms. In otherwords social contract recognized and legitimate person hood, is simply that of having the permission as freedom and its euphemistic liberty of working within it and for it. I won't waste the readers time defending this basic understanding, save to state that, the imprisonment circumstance as it is currently formulated didn't emerge and appear, till the abolishment of chattel slavery and its replacement with de jure Nationalization of slavery as criminal sanction under the 13th amendment to the Constitution of The United States. In otherwords as soon as work and its organized labor wasn't de jure compulsory, the imprisonment circumstance and its evolution as we experience it along with its opportunistic rationalization appeared as that metaphoric "coat of many colors". Our ancients have instructed, and I clarify it with, the Human Condition and its narrative is simply and primarily that of "work", which for analytic purpose, within the context of the Social Contract and its political-economy dynamic is Labor and its Organized motive. Just as the circle refuses to be squared, so is objective truth akin to Silver outside of its function definitive in existence for itself. Which was the relative relationship the human condition had with and understood work as, prior to the imposition of the exploitive and appropriating construct of its organized value, which prison and the imprisonment circumstance stands as that overseer with whip. Nothing I'm saying is to imply or infer, my position is permissive of asocial and harmful behaviour at the expensive of accountability. My position is, prison and the imprisonment scheme is a fact of Virginia's Social Contract, under law, its reform then is primarily that practicality of holding the Virginia prison official accountable and if the entire imprisonment scheme exists to cower labor, then Labor must speak.

TWO ASPECTS OF VIRGINIA PRISON REFORM By William Thorpe

Pictures are taken from the internet and are used for illustrative purposes only
First of all, this is the orienting vantage of how we stand in relationship to Virginia Prison Reform: IT ISN'T A BOON OR DISPENSATION. I BEGIN: The Virginia Prison and its imprisonment condition stands as the most speculative and suppositionary practice ever assumed by its Social Contract, consequently it contains all of the Commonwealth's shortcomings, hypocrisies and antagonisms because its work is that of dehumanization, plain and simple which ensuingly corrupts according to relative proximity or it accentuates its inherence. The work of our analysis and its animation of reforming the Virginia prison circumstance as it holds the Virginia prison official accountable along with Virginia's Government accountability-function, is to refute and repudiate its ossified and idealistic narrative regardless of logic. This first aspect of refuting and repudiating its ossified and idealistic narrative regardless of logic, assumes a number of forms, with the primary as that of getting laws passed under the notion that the fundamental dehumanization of the Virginia prisoner is that of jurisprudence and in the general sense due to the activity of Virginia's Social Contract, is. However the relative significance of jurisprudence as a counter point to the impunity of the dehumanization of the Virginia prisoner, lies with, the true, pure and quintessential nature of the accountability-function, which simply is the unfettered and truly liberated ability to hold government and its police powers, which the Virginia prison official is a function and operative to account or to compel that recognition of subordination to that "Of, By and For the people", which the Virginia Constitution asserts its authority from, with its declarations, starting with. ARTICLE 1. BILL OF RIGHTS----A DECLARATION OF RIGHTS MADE BY THE GOOD PEOPLE OF VIRGINIA IN THE EXERCISE OF THEIR SOVEREIGN POWERS,WHICH RIGHTS DO PERTAIN TO THEM AND THEIR POSTERITY, AS THE BASIS AND FOUNDATION OF GOVERNMENT [then it continues with] SEC.1 THAT ALL MEN ARE BY NATURE EQUALLY FREE AND INDEPENDENT AND HAVE CERTAIN INHERENT RIGHTS.......[in the spirit of JEAN ROUSSEAU and the theoretical kindred of THE FRENCH REVOLUTION OF 1789 and its," MAN IS BORN FREE BUT EVERYWHERE I LOOK HE'S IN CHAINS"]. As such the existence of prison official impunity and its presumptions of above-the-lawism simply reveals the people's impotence and inability regardless of reason to subordinate their government's activities embodied by the Virginia prison official to their will and its accountability-function. This then matter of factly exposes that the character of Virginia's prison reform has a cognitive dissonance with the general and specific or particular order of which is primary and secondary, or which comes first. Meaning should we pursue enactment of laws at the expense of the accountability-function or means of their actual application as intended or anticipated or should we attain a actual means of holding the Virginia prison official accountable. An example of this is Virginia prison reform activism achieved a recent law at Virginia Code 53.1-39. 2, A 4 hour out of cell activity for the Virginia prisoner held in solitary confinement (under the euphemism, Restrictive or Restorative Housing) Va. Code 53.1-39 (1A), then the Virginia prison official at its Koncentration Kamp Red Onion State Prison and its other Charnel Kamps, promptly ignored it and kept on doing what they do, which is violate. Here is the rub, not only has the Virginia prison official, violated the law but they have exploited it as defense in lawsuits by claiming that its existence implies solitary is like General Population.

I have misgivings with recommending this below work as a comprehensive defense of my analysis on the Second aspect of prison reform in Virginia, on the simple fact it was produced at the present day, utterly craven Columbia University of New York. Yes, just as history saluted Columbia's vanguard heroics as being correct during the 1960's, so is its betrayals and complicities of 2025, by its administrative elements, indicted as that same ole same ole fleeing from the field, an infamous illustration of life imitating art, imagery of the seminal lyrics, "PICTURE ME BEING SCARED OF A N***A THAT BREATHES THE SAME AIR AS ME" by NOTORIOUS B.I.G. Nonetheless the work which is by LAURA FEELY, makes the point and case. The title of her work is DEFINING THE PUBLIC:ADMINISTRATIVE RULEMAKING REQUIREMENT IN THE CARCERAL CONTEXCT---54 COLUM. HUMAN RIGHTS L.REV. 368.The fact that our human condition is replete with contradictions and its Social Contract expression shimmers with hypocrisies isn't the exception but the rule and it takes the work of relentless analysis and implacable exposure to assert that yes we see that the "Emperor", no matter how strident the denials by those historical stooge and henchmen functionaries," has no clothes".In others words, the center of our antagonisms isn't holding and it isn't supposed to, which clearly defines that germane dynamic of the accountability-function of prison reform in Virginia. As I pointed out in the early part of this work, Virginia's prison reform work has this cognitive dissonance, of that philosophical, chicken or egg, distraction and the navel gazing contextual distortion of order of action, that only renders the status quo work of prison reform in Virginia as idealistic. I noted Ms. LAURA FEELY'S comprehensive work, "DEFINING THE PUBLIC...", because she tackles what after all is said and done with, is the main, primary and only question of REFORM, period. So how does what Ms. Feely is laboring at speak to prison reform? It is the crux of the issue, independent of context, because if our ancestors stated the obvious which is "Rights" or interactions and relationships are "Inalienable", then impediments, which per virtue of having to state the obvious, implies that there are, impositions and if we are honestly working to attain that accountability-function of realized humanness, then, basis of such impositions are irrelevant and the only relevance, is that of it's consequence. I'll use Columbia University's recent cravenness as example, which is simply this: on what terms can cravenness offer defense?. As such analysis is to, as it is specific to prison reform in Virginia, speak to the dialectic, which is reform and how to hold the prison official accountable, as such, what analysis reveals is not the logic of the prison official's impunity, but the fact that it exist and therefore what is permitting and enabling its existence. This then brings us to the understanding and fact that the impunity itself, is a structural lattice of Virginia's Government and its police powers again, regardless and irrespective of reason or logic, the consequence is impunity and we cannot speak of the just realization of Virginia's Social Contract, when despite that Inalienable sovereignty of its existence, it has the dehumanizing motive as Virginia law, THE ADMINISTRATIVE PROCESS ACT and we encounter it as the professional behavior of the Virginia prison official.

PROTEST AS SPEECH FOR REFORM OF THE VIRGINIA PRISON CIRCUMSTANCE IS ALSO THIS By William Thorpe

Pictures are taken from the internet and are used for illustrative purposes only
I will get right into it, The Commonwealth of Virginia is much more than its Three Branches of Government. It is primarily the established institutions The People of Virginia have established as means and mechanisms of what it means to realize themselves and the cultivation of its optimal environment. Government is primarily a coercive force, and no one welcomes coercion into anything and its will of the people is a clear articulated anticipation, "Of By and For The People" despite the fact that, at this moment of our social contract's existence, its primitive nature, circumscribes the anticipation as a practical purpose. Institutions establishing means of satisfying the people's aspirations are first and foremost, Ideas and not just a building and yes reform of Virginia's prison circumstance and its prison official is an idea and its satisfaction requires a maturity of engagement. Meaning the reform idea has to engage Virginians in spaces of ideas used to the habit of exchange. So Virginians conscious of the fact, that the aspired self-realization and the requisite cultivation of its optimal environment, is first and foremost a reform of Virginia's prison circumstance by returning the Virginia prison official to its rightful place of subordination to the will of The People of Virginia under equality of Law, have to meet fellow compatriot Virginians in spaces and places that have customarily speculated on and played around theoretically with self-realization and the cultivation of its optimal environment, but haven't actually appreciated its articulated anticipation, "Of, By and For The People", and pursued its attainment. The obvious places are Religious spaces and Virginia Colleges and Universities. We call on allies, families and friends of the Virginia Prisoner to reach out to religious leaders in their communities, for the purpose of speaking to and getting the point across to congregants, that the imprisonment of a Virginian, which is according to law, isn't then an excuse to violate law by dehumanizing the Virginia prisoner. This same message should be carried to campuses, through invites from college and university groups who for the most part are waiting on such activism. I have described a couple of mobilizing activities that are literal civic duties, because when government and its coercion, which the Virginia prison official is a function are held accountable, by subordination to the will of the people, that aspired, perfection of the unity of The People, is closer to realization. The existence and tolerance of impunity by government is its antithesis and the most destructive occurrence in the Social Contract. Because it corrodes the people's good will, it corrupts the people's trust in potential and capabilities, it as a final exertion negates humanness and replaces it with cynicism. What I'm also showing is protest has infinite character, because its only purpose is to expose and resolve antagonisms within the social contract that dehumanize. So, to the accountability-function of the Peoples Will, give us that breath of fresh air, that you are its operative, change the narrative of the Virginia prison circumstance and hold the Virginia prison official accountable.

OUR NATIONAL LABOR GROUPS ARE RELATIVELY ABSENT FROM THE WORK OF PRISON REFORM, BUT IT'S GLARING WHEN VIRGINIA'S OWN ARE SILENT TO THE POINT OF ABSCONDING, IN LIGHT OF THE FACT FORMER RANK AND FILE ELEMENTS ARE NOW CLAD IN THE VIRGINIA DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS "UNIFORMS OF BRUTALITY" By William Thorpe

Pictures are taken from the internet and are used for illustrative purposes only
The organization of our Human Condition as Society on the mechanism of the Social Contract, has as its attention, the business of being human, or its encompassing character, Work. This supremacy appearance of Work begins its assertion also from the Religious Genesis 2:2 "And on the seventh day God finished his work that he had done, and he rested on the seventh day from all his work that he had done". Then its Human Condition directive begins at Genesis 3:23 "therefore the Lord God sent him out from the garden of Eden to work the ground from which he was taken". To its bookend emergence as legend on the entrance to the Nazi Death Camp Auschwitz," Work Shall Set You Free", where its definition was the administration of the extermination of the human being. The killing and extermination of the human being as Work, had of course preceded its Auschwitz practice, but to my knowledge Auschwitz, had the unique temerity to appropriate the aphorism "work shall set you free", as organizer. I've given this illustration of "work" to show it's primary basis, which then enables me to now say this, if "work" is that activity of life, but as it concerns this work, human life, then all organizing aspects and constructs of the human condition, as revealed as society on the dicta of the social contract are all and only about work. As such it has two diametric 1) that which permits its unimpeded motion and (2) and its maintenance. With its maintenance, we encounter the various forms and types of it's governance or a Government. For a quick definition of government, BLACK'S LAW defines as:The structure of principles and rules determining how a state or organization is regulated. 2, The sovereign power in a nation or state. So let's get a basic understanding of what is this, "sovereign power". Again BLACK'S LAW defines it as: Police Power, The inherent and plenary power of a sovereign to make all laws necessary and proper to preserve the public security, order, health, morality and justice. It is a fundamental power essential to government, and it cannot be surrendered by the legislature or irrevocably transferred away from government. I BEGIN: No one argues, not even the conceited addled among us that the only function of Life, more specifically, human life, isn't that of WORK, which I'll define as idea (conclusion, formulation) +intent (urge)= act, action (production, create).Work which is all and only about the business of being human, meaning securing sustenance and supporting circumstances for human life existence is the organizing focus and attention or purpose of our human condition. As such it brings out the best and worst in us. The worst, is what I want to focus on, because that "worst", is what impels and creates the need for reform, because fundamentally, that worst, has as its psychology, an antagonistic existence or a corrupting effect on relationship terms and values of the social contract which then seeps into the common daily interaction of social existence, which means its impact is squarely and directly on "work", which in society is organized as Labor. This work isn't to instruct Labor on course of action, but this work is clarity on the fact that, the essential purpose of the Police Powers and its state organized violence, existing also as the Justice Infrastructure, with prison as administrator, has a purely coercive and punitive function, that of ensuring Labor is subordinated.

JUST AS HISTORY DE-LEGITIMIZES THE SPEECH OF CONSERVATISM AND ITS REACTION BY INDICTING IT'S HYPOCRISY, SO SHOULD WE OPPOSE THE DEHUMANIZATION OF THE VIRGINIA PRISONER BY EXPOSING ITS SYSTEMIC MOTIVE By William Thorpe


Pictures are taken from the internet and are used for illustrative purposes only
It is a labor in itself to proclaim the sacrosanctity of Human Life, as the Constituted aspirations of the People of Virginia claims then dehumanize it as process of holding it accountable and responsible for asocial behavior and deeds. Our ancestors understood that to find that quintessential immortality in valor and honor, the foe or opposition had to be accorded with the equality and respect of the life force and motive, without qualifications and I emphasize without qualifications. Meaning regardless of the form and configuration of the life force, if it acquitted itself in that recognizable template of value, it received a narrative of worthiness. So not to become long winded about it, all humanity was subsequently accorded that generic worthiness, which contrary to theology and its idealistic hypocritical presumptions and contradictions, became that basis of the sacrosanctity of Life. But as some of our ancestors also recognized, we constantly violated the sacrosanctity of life as a natural course of our condition. A condition which some of our ancestors observed as result and cause of, the business of being human, which fundamentally is distilled as the pursuit of life sustaining and supporting conditions and those optimal necessary circumstances. So what confronts, the Virginian who aspires to the wholesomeness of their existence, is simply this: their existence and its basic claim is dependent on its inexorable externalization. In other words a non-imprisoned Virginian doesn't have to, as I've stated in other works, give a flip about the imprisoned Virginian, but as long the imprisoned Virginian is being dehumanized, its ahumanistic process, as done by the Virginia prison official is also spilling over into and assuming a devaluation of that declared Constituted will of the People of Virginia of the sacrosanctity of life. Dehumanization of human life as formulation of Virginia's historicity, is well documented in Virginia's antecedent laws in defense and application of its political-economy, which was the chattel enslavement of black People. It then spilled over into its imprisonment scheme, in a continued pursuit and maintenance of, its chattel enslavement political-economy which had been abridged by the Civil War, as a mechanism of a justice infrastructure. But just as everything primary to the human condition, it had and still has nothing to do with any idealistic pursuits of repairing any harm borne by social beings, who in most cases were and are not even recognized as having personhood, under a pacification gambit as "justice". The political reforms that ensuingly gave us imprisonment in its current form, despite applying and exploiting the verbiage and language of perfecting the people's will, is instead due to its allegiance to its antecedent of dehumanization, is incapable of separating itself from it, as such must be compelled. This is where the People of Virginia as an organic entity have the obligation, an obligation that cannot be delegated to the compromises of customary gambits.
