On May 21st, 2023 We at VAPAC inaugurated the principle of VIRGINIA PRISONERS DAY, with the format which we still continue in 2026, as its motive force, being a Virginia People's affair. Meaning, instead of a centralized, top down marshalling and regimentation of action, Family, Friends and allies of the Virginia Prisoner, who are proximately closest and most intimate with the Virginia Prisoner, with shared interests, desires and determinations must be the ones, to formulate and encapsulate how to mark The Virginia Prisoners Day and in this we established the principle. All of us at VAPAC have family and loved ones under Virginia's imprisonment scheme, we all have our very own experiences dealing with Virginia's imprisonment scheme, whether personally through the various points of interaction with the Virginia Department of Corrections or from accounts and narratives from our imprisoned loved ones and as a matter of fact in this we share a commonality with victims of crime, despite the fact conventional wisdom works double overtime under the manipulation of politicians who exploit the pain and harm of crime, to maintain an insidious and idealistic wedge between Family of Prisoners and victims of the harm of crime, in all its forms, not just its selective and politically exploited accentuation. Accordingly on the Third Sunday in May Virginia Prisoners Day we sharpen our focus, strengthen our resolve to continue in the work of speaking up for the constant and consistent reform of Virginia's Justice Infrastructure and the imprisonment scheme and holding the Virginia Prison Official accountable, as such we again stand in Solidarity and Strength raising our voice for accountability and reform of Virginia's imprisonment scheme. We also recognize that there might come a time in the future, where, the Family, Friends and Allies of the Virginia Prisoner will find it necessary and sensible to organize the Virginia Prisoners Day in a more centralized orientation, we leave it to that moment. Also We at VAPAC want to currently introduce another point of focus for this 2026 Virginia Prisoners Day, as we mark it, which is we should also identify those Virginia politicians and legislators who seem not to ever get enough of the hypocrisy of exploiting the issue of Virginia Prison Reform by standing in it's way. So Family, Friends and Allies of the Virginia Prisoner, let's stand and raise our voice on this 2026 Virginia Prisoners Day for Reform and adherence to the Accountability-function of the governance of the Commonwealth of Virginia of the Justice Infrastructure and the Imprisonment Scheme. #VaPrisonersDay #MayVAThirdSunday .

EVEN IN GOD, THE EXISTENCE OF THE DEVIL UNDERSCORES THE ABSENCE OF UNANIMITY----SO WHAT DOES IT SAY ABOUT THE UNANIMITY OF VIRGINIA LEGISLATORS INFERNALLY BIRTHING THE LAW HB-1030 AS ANOTHER ANTI-PAROLE GIMMICK By William Thorpe
When we speak of narcissistic certitude, the above excerpted comments attributed to Mr. Wilt are prime exhibits. Because nothing conveyed by them, indicates even begrudgingly an inkling that Virginia's imprisonment scheme with Parole, isn't a step child but a favored first born. In other words the imprisonment scheme is an approximation, which its many mitigative fronts as Virginia's Due Process of Law from, appellate review, to exonerations through Parole, Pardons and Commutations, even that final, arbiter, the Speech of Social Upheaval, prove and justify. So the only way we can access Mr. Wilt's comments on the motive of his HB-1030, Parole Law is through the nihilistic dogma of his Conservative ideology and World-View and despite the fact that it's typecast interpretation of the human condition is what passes as analysis in the Commonwealth's terms of its Social Contract, it's distortions, deceptions and idealistic delusions are still that, whether wielded in Virginia's antebellum political-economy or its current and contemporary formulation, it is still serving and pursing its historical intent. First of all Mr. Wilt's World-View doesn't have any ground as basis to orient any critique of anything from, when it is simply incapable of pointing out the simple truth, that selective criminalization despite, its historically tolerated existence becomes nemesis to that Social Contract requisite of the Peoples "faith and trust" in the accountability-function of Due Process of Law, when it reaches and attains the critical mass of brazenness that as a People we are Nationally subjected to. Because the only way the Wilt World-View can square pronouncements on Virginia's imprisonment scheme relative to the HB-1030 monstrosity is the imprisoned attains another status of being that isn't human and without value to both the human condition and as Social Contract socio-person. Now under the speech of Virginia's antebellum political-economy such hypocrisies and delusions had value in maintaining its super structure, because when all the forearms in the trough are washing off blood who will dare comment on the gore. In other words due to the shared dehumanizing dialectic who would be that pot calling the kettle black, which is what we find in this ongoing characterization of "justice and repair of harm".What we have is the Virginia Department of Corrections being the highest expression of the Commonwealth of Virginia's Productivity. Now if we are to carry Mr. Wilt's thought as stated in his " We spend a lot of energies, a lot of money and educating, providing educational opportunities for our inmates to educate them", to a logical metric, then the next formulation is why isn't this "lot of energies, a lot of money and educating" done before that possibility and probability of imprisonment?. Secondly as we trudge along with Mr. Wilt, we find his, "If we're looking towards the point, the time that they [prisoners] might no longer be [incarcerated], they would be back out in the public that they have something tangible that can help carry them through". Studying Mr. Wilt's comments you can't help but see how teeth pulling all of it is for him, he's clearly uncomfortable. Still though Mr. Wilt is no more prescient or sagacious than the most basic and frazzled Virginia psychology dealing with the daily contradictions and antagonisms of the Social Contract, which is the only denominator we hold his World-View to account, because, again if his HB-1030 parole law is lattice for construct of the Virginia socio-person, then why isn't it applied to the pre-imprisoned ?

TWO FORMULATIONS OF SPEECH AS VIRGINIA'S IMPRISONMENT SCHEME By William Thorpe
I recognize how discordant this fact, that the imprisoned person is the most Lawful of all the Classes of Society and as it relates to this work, Virginia's Social Contract and that is exactly the point. Because it isn't that the Virginia socio-person isn't capable of understanding and attaining the cognition of the correctness of THE SPEECH FORMULATION constituting Virginia, but they're not called upon to grasp that SPEECH is the driver, despite the fact that it is the arbiter of daily existence as socio-person, in other words suppositionary definitions and determinants then surrogately present that fun house mirror image distortion of THAT ALL SO REAL SPEECH FORMULATION, which then enables that petty-tyranny expressed as, in this instance the impunity and above-the-lawism of the Virginia prison official and the general corruption of the system or Social Contract, which is subsequently critiqued as an inherency. Before I continue let me give you how BLACK'S LAW DICTIONARY defines, LAWFUL: Not contrary to law permitted by law [and it continues under LEGAL and LEGAL is defined as Of or relating to law falling within the province of law. 2 Established, required, or permitted by law.3. Of or relating to law as opposed to equity].Now no one struggles with the fact that Society or the Social Contract is constituted Law, meaning everyone falls under the ambit of law, every aspect, fact, interaction and activity are artifacts of law, even when an act is at odds with it, the reason the act is at odds is because of Law and not because of its commission. What Law characterizes is context which is a primary denominator of the Human Condition and the business of existence. What I'm showing is despite the fact that we are not called upon to be as comprehensive in our daily grasp of the basic formulations of the Social Contract, which by the way, the process of formative education or critical analysis is intended to inculcate and should instinctually orient our daily speech, but due to the shortsightedness of reaction and its one-dimensional pursuit of value exploitation, under the analogous thought, that the less we as the socio-person critically think the easier or efficient it is to Capitalize our existence, its habit of taking stuff for granted as if definitions, descriptions, characterizations, contextualization are a result of...[Genesis 2:19 and 20]...when the fact is regardless of whatever the biblical Genesis and its kindred plays in ones existence, it doesn't absolve the responsibility of correctly understanding that the Commonwealth of Virginia is constituted SPEECH and the quality of it's human business of existence or the socio-person's is defacto dependent on understanding and cognition. So even as the individual Virginia socio-person might not ascribe to and will even react to certain attitudes and characterizations as viscerally vile and offensive, those vile and anathema attitudes are being perpetrated in their name. We see this rampantly present in the SPEECH of VIRGINIA'S IMPRISONMENT SCHEME. So even as it is generally accepted that, Due Process of Law Mandates of Virginia and United States Constitutions have a real and substantial anticipation and expectation, meaning the accused must have Legal Representation, see how Virginia's Governance handled this fact..."THE STATE OF VIRGINIA ARGUED IN BOUNDS THAT PROVIDING LAW LIBRARIES TO INMATES IS AN EXERCISE IN FUTILITY, GIVEN THAT PRISON WRIT WRITERS ARE " ILLEQUIPPED. TO USE THE TOOLS OF THE TRADE OF THE LEGAL PROFESSION".YET,IN GIARRATANO, VIRGINIA ARGUED THAT LAW LIBRARIES CAN BE USED EFFECTIVELY BY THESE SAME PRISONERS". [excerpted from MURRAY v. GIARRATANO: A REMEDY REDUCED TO A MEANINGLESS RITUAL pub. in 39 Am.U.L.Rev.765 by GERALDINE SZOTT MOOHR. What I'm showing with these excerpts as representative of TWO FORMULATIONS OF SPEECH AS VIRGINIA'S IMPRISONMENT SCHEME, is simply that impunity and its above-the-lawism isn't specifically an administrative process of bureaucracy run wild, but its a dynamic of inattentiveness and a second guessing by the People of Virginia in whose name everything has its approximate beginnings. In other words authority is first and foremost a dictatorship irrespective of formulation, which the context of formulation is how revelatory is the mechanism of the dictatorship. What I'm stressing is, yes there is substantial meaning in the description of Virginia's constituted speech, which we encounter in ARCHER v. VA. BD. of DENTISTRY 2026 VA.APP.LEXIS 114 as long as We The People of Virginia recognize it as such, [and here is we find dictatorship], because how are we as the people grasping and understanding... "THE COMMONWEALTH'S INHERENT POWER AS SOVEREIGN"[?], because "sovereign" stands firstly as singular and as soon as there is interaction, meaning once we encounter another human who is also sovereign, now we have an association or a cognizable and contextualized social contract, the basis of the interaction or association is of less significance, it could even be fatal, what is relevant nonetheless is it was SPEECH or ACITIVITY and this is that granular or quantum grasp which in order to compel, reform and for the specific focus of this work, reform of Virginia's imprisonment scheme, we must appreciate and function within its clarity. Everything elucidated and instructed in ARCHER as the Sovereign Police Powers of The Commonwealth of Virginia are specific and substantial basis demanding and commanding reform of Virginia's imprisonment scheme, yet its opponents exist causing the one and only question on what Right? Because the current state and condition of Virginia's imprisonment scheme is absolutely incompatible with the contextualization of its Police Powers, that stands first and foremost on the incontrovertible fact that the imprisoned Virginian is a Human Being and Sovereign. Because negating this fundamental fact isn't denial or abrogation of the humanness of the imprisoned Virginian, but rather it only reveals the value of Virginia's Speech or Virginia's Social Contract isn't to be trusted. Virginia's Social Contract is corrupt, Virginia's Social Contract is merely a perverted Supremacist construct a step ahead of its inexorable and inevitable accounting and we see it, in formulations of Speech or Activity that can only be classified as schizophrenic. From the Speech of the Virginian Thomas Jefferson of the Declaration of Independence authorship, whose declarations conversed his hypocrisies back to him revealing the context of a "sound mind" is also the purview of a diseased one. What was the value of the enslaved Africans to Jefferson and his ilk, wasn't it the fact they were Human? Even as the Jeffersonian world view denied it ?.My contention is we see the same thing with the Virginia Prisoner treated as "subject" of Law, when the quintessential formulation of the Speech reveals and points to the irrefutable fact that if Virginia's Speech is Constituted Law then the only class of Virginian embodying it is the Prisoner.
