THE RECENT VIRGINIA SUPREME COURT RULING IN THE REDISTRICTING REFERENDUM CASE, SCOTT v. McDOUGLE 2026 VA LEXIS 35, AS ALL THINGS POLITICAL IMPACTS ALL ASPECTS OF VIRGINIA'S SOCIAL CONTRACT INCLUDING PRISON REFORM By William Thorpe

 

Pictures are taken from the internet and are used for illustrative purposes only
So lets get into it. Virginia currently has a Prison Population of 49,000 and every last one ineligible to vote. Before the 2020's Democratic Administration of Ralph Northam along with a Virginia General Assembly Democratic Majority changed the then existing Law, all Virginia Prisoners were counted as members of the Political Jurisdictions the Prisons that held them were located at which in most cases were predominantly rural and largely ethnically White at the expense and political loss of the largely urban Cities of their removal, which in most cases were diverse with a ethnically Black and politically viable population, while denying and depriving them of whatever benefits, privileges and protections those political districts accorded its residents. In other words rural counties with prisons enjoyed the benefits the prisoner population brought them, just as the Constitution of the United States came into existence on the corrupting complicit compromises that electorally reduced the enslaved Human to a 3/5ths person. Virginia Democrats under Ralph Northam rousing a beastly ire of Virginia Republicans who had historically benefited from the transfer of urban prisoners to rural Virginia prisons, changed the law to allow for the imprisoned Virginian to be counted for all electoral and political purposes as members of the urban locales that had lost them, which in turn became a relative disincentive metric for Republican apparatchik insider influence on the Virginia Department of Corrections to continue assisting and enabling Virginia Republican politics by providing their districts with the proverbial 3/5ths electoral person. The point is as long as the dynamic of, and I quote from the words of D. Arthur Kelsey writer of the majority Opinion in the Scott v McDougle ruling and he quotes from 3 JOSEPH STORY, COMMENTARIES ON THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES sec.1609 (1833) "A Constitution by its very nature "declare[s] under what circumstances, and in what manner it shall be amended," and it is "The supreme Law of the land, TO WHICH ALL PERSONS, RULERS, AS WELL AS CITIZENS MUST BOW IN OBEDIENCE "[my emphasis], Feudalism under its neon formulations, exist. Now I want to draw the readers attention to what I emphasized.(1) A jurist D. Arthur Kelsey on the Virginia Supreme Court in 2026 didn't have any issue with the characterization of America's Social Contract terms, of "rulers"?, and found affinity with it to quote it as authority and insight, which even in 1833 when those words were breathed into existence, were treacherous, discordant, dichotomous, cognitively dissonant, insidious and diametrically at odds with what the most basic element picking up arms in 1770's colonial America against "Ruler "understood that for there to be a ruler, as Mr. Kelsey evokes, there has to be not the deceptive, sleight of hand, "citizen", (Mr. Story attempts to divert attention from his real labor which has already been revealed, with the descriptive "ruler"), but "subject" and its ridiculous to think that, the Antonin Scalia's, Clarence Thomases, Samuel Alito's, John Roberts, Donald Trump's, the Heritage Foundation and Federalist Societies of that day, along with Friedrich Hayek pining for monarchial and the dictatorship of the aristocracy were delusional despite being puffed up with its "grandeur" to think that all those Minute Men were dying a la Crispus Attucks to suffer.

What Jurist Kelsey, reveals writing for the majority in the SCOTT v. McDOUGLE 2026 Va. LEXIS 35 redistricting case, disqualifying the People's Speech, (which by the way and its quite telling, the Chief Justice of Virginia's Supreme Court, POWELL, not only dissented but, he felt so strongly about it that he wrote the Dissent) is what we have all along understood, which is when the formulations of Social Contracts of our Human Condition are still in primitive formations, which the Commonwealth of Virginias' and our Nations' are facts. The intrinsic animator is the corruption of its character, which is that dynamic or consequence of the Dictatorship of Intent. What I mean by, dictatorship of intent, is simple and in it lies as the corrupt character, because it is the crass imposition of "the idea", minus or at the expense of its basic nature. So, the basic nature of our Human Condition is Existence, with the means or mechanism it's Re-creation, which its work is the human business of existence. So it goes to say that the quality of the human business of existence as construct of a Social Contract, is that which recognizes that the "idea", is guide or intent and not objective, which again is Existence, as such the infinite expressions of obfuscations, which is where we encounter the reactionary, are consequently a corruption requiring or in Social Contract terms, Reform and as focus of this work, Virginia's imprisonment scheme and holding the Virginia Prison Official accountable. In this context the sophistry evidenced by the Virginia Supreme Court majority ruling in the SCOTT voter speech disqualification and exposed by Chief Justice POWELL'S dissent is again fact of the primitive formation and corrupt character of Virginia's Social Contract, presenting that, the necessary development and I won't preemptively describe the absence of reformation as incident of corruption, because corruption has to firstly be perceived, then resolved with its reform. However the dictatorship of intent, has inkling that the phenomena appearing as contradictions and antagonisms are facts of the existence of corruption, because the terms of the Social Contract are relatively at odds and stand in compromise with its constituted aspirations. So we see this clearly with all that the Commonwealth declares as basis of the Justice Infrastructure and imprisonment scheme haplessly transformed into petty extra-judicial above-the-lawism by the Virginia prison official, borne on the exact logic of Kelsey and co.in their SCOTT ruling. What all of this means in the context of perfecting the UNITY OF THE PEOPLE as that qualification of the social contract focus of the human business of existence, is the presence then of what we indict as violations, presenting the mechanisms of response or resolution as the birthed relative vocabulary and language to describe and expose the inconsistencies. Which then means the onus and responsibility of reform shifts from the status quo malfeasant, violator and offender onto us the People being exploited by the accompanying systemic injustice, to counter-speak in all its organic activity on the simple foundational basis that human existence isn't, suppositionary, it isn't borne of ideas nor theology, but material facts of x=y and not opportunities to be exploited by reactionary politicians pursuing the presumptions of primitive political-economy formulations, along with the fact the status quo actor and beneficiary of the corruption will struggle and desperately battle against reform.

HERE ARE MY TWO CENTS FOR THE 2026 MARKING OF VIRGINIA PRISONERS DAY By William Thorpe

Since VAPAC established the principle of Virginia Prisoners Day, in 2023 not as a top down dictate but, that most democratic expression, from and off the People. Its been situated as occasion for Family, Friends and Ally of the Virginia Prisoner to rediscover enlightenment and clarity on which way, is forward for the work and struggle of reforming Virginia's Imprisonment scheme and holding the Virginia prison official accountable. As people, elements and members of Virginia's Social Contract, much of our world view is typically reactionary and this condition also afflicts Family, Friends and Ally of the Virginia prisoner. As a matter of fact the Virginia prisoner, also exist as a reactionary entity and my usage of reactionary notwithstanding that it encompasses, the political characterization, which we encounter in Virginia's Conservative and the basic Virginia Republican, is first and foremost that fundamental absence of grasping that it is the systemic nature of the social contract that creates and mass produces objects of Virginia's Justice Infrastructure and the resulting imprisonment. Nothing I'm outlining is animus, I'm not being critical, instead I'm establishing critique. Critique which implies that it exist as a tool for others to wield in continuing this necessary excavation of the processes for reform and when I say reform, despite the fact my orientation is the Virginia imprisonment scheme, reform is primarily an interrogation of the very nature and formulations of Virginia's Social Contract. So in accord with the vigor and resolve of this 2026 Virginia Prisoners Day, my focus is firstly on reasserting my unconditional opposition to and repudiation of the new Virginia Parole Law HB-1030 as codified at Virginia Code 53.1-151.1.Once again instead of insulting and assaulting the sensibilities of the reader, with academic deconstruction of the Law, what I will simply say is this the Law passed Virginia's General Assembly unanimously, let me repeat it, the Law passed in 2026 unanimously, meaning reactionary and supremacist Virginia Republicans "agreed" with Conservative, then neo-Liberal or so-called Centrist and finally Progressive Democrats that HB-1030 was as that colloquial ascertainment goes a, Duck, because someone who had to be lurking in the ornate enclaves of the General Assembly produced Duck calls a la ventriloquist-like, quacking. Well I wasn't deceived nor were those of us who saw HB-1030 in its splendid, Emperor has No Clothes tail feathers fanned for what it actually is a Turkey, yup that American traditional insult, to the non-privileged, lacking access to influence, resource challenged to petition for release, PARDONED Turkey, which again 53.2-151.1 or HB-1030 as Turkey, embodies. Now let's see if I can't present this idea, the logic of those gimmick and gambit purveyors, who never pass up on an opportunity to dehumanize the imprisoned Virginian told us that the animator of HB-1030,was to and I paraphrase, bring sanity to social justice reform in Virginia, yup a "sane" Turkey. Well considering that Virginia's imprisonment scheme was simply erected on the brought to account by Grant, antebellum walls and foundations of chattel enslaving Plantation's, we shouldn't wonder much why Virginia's status quo and terms of the Social Contract are averse to humanistic, mitigative expressions of reforming the imprisonment scheme, which Parole is supposed to be an active and dynamic aspect, because the psychology, mind set and psyche that can embark on subjugating the Human Being to chattel is without the morality of release from confinement. Instead of mocking our insight as socio-person with the various pro and con Parole sophistry, why don't we change it?

What I mean by "Change" is this. Let me firstly provide this insight, which contrary to self-interest sophistry working to influence and "persuade" or simply crassly, defend the pursued interest. Nothing and I emphasize nothing about the Human Condition, despite Madisonian supposition, that [and I paraphrase] a Political Constitution or its ambition, is a "Government for perpetuity" [on]...." permanent principles and not on those of a temporary nature", and as I correctly characterized James Madison's 1788 comments during Virginia's Convention, are suppositionary, because for example in 1787 our historical Schizophrenic in Chief, Jefferson author of the Nation's Declaration of Independence had already exposed and disabused the "thought" of "Government for perpetuity", with his, "The tree of Liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of Patriots and tyrants", in a letter to William Stephens Smith, analyzing Shay's Rebellion of Captain Daniel Shay of the Continental Army responding to political-economy conditions in New England that any average contemporary Virginian will relatively recognize along with the stated Demands of the Rebellion. What this means for Prison reform and holding the Virginia prison official accountable, is this nothing is "Fixed", another refutation of this, Virginia's approximation of "chattel" on enslaved Black People asserted that Madisonian in perpetuity, which cannon and saber slashes of the Civil War exposed its presumptuousness. Or how about, if Life and living are relative and approximate facts, then the Grand Master itself "Death", is relative and approximate, you chuckle? Well debate with your memory, your idea of self, that biblical and..." God walked with me"...whether your beloved Grandmother is dead or alive and well in your memory and isn't that how you've always grasped her existence. The point is our relationship with our conditions and circumstances are per virtue of to what extent we grasp or understand that it exist to be changed and the anti-change sophistry are weaponry strategically and tactically deployed by the opposition who are beneficiaries of the in the sights of change or in other words the status quo. Tradition and Culture as Social Contract sentinels are existentially transient and again relative and approximate values beholden to again, beneficiaries. What I'm showing is imprisonment itself, implies release and the most immediate to the Virginia prisoner is Parole and the status quo's attitude towards its actuality and realization also speaks to how Virginia's status quo or the Justice Infrastructure truly understands the purpose and function of imprisonment despite the performances of the adjudicative Due Process and naturally considering human nature and self-interest, we cannot expect and anticipate that the status quo beneficiaries will willingly submit to the accountability-function of the administration of governance which they have the privilege of its reins and uniforms. First of all we must disavow the notion that X amount of imprisonment equals anything else than imprisonment. As such this is what I present to the People of The Commonwealth for this 2026 Virginia Prisoners Day, to debate. Instead of the current Parole system, it is replaced with a mandatory resentencing system at Special Courts structured just for that purpose.

My contention is if imprisonment anticipates release and that which is left of Virginia's Parole process, is intended to provide an aspect of it and there isn't any dispute over the conclusion that the process is inherently corrupt or it wouldn't be susceptible to all the various gimmicks plyed by opportunistic politicians with HB-1030 being the latest novel incarnation along with the head scratching spectacle of Virginia Republican foot soldiers who in 1995 abolished universal parole in Virginia, now privately practicing Law, hiring out their services as possessors of the secrets of the workings of Virginia's Bureaucracy for the purpose of attaining those privileged to obtain their value, release from imprisonment. But the substance of the corruption is the presumption foisted on terms of the Social Contract that political appointees on an entity styled as a Parole Board can determine whether the imprisoned is "fit" and has been brought in line and is "ready" to be returned to Society to assume the qualification, socio-person. When the fact is the Prisoner wasn't imprisoned on the subjective speculations of a diktat from a "Board" and say what we will of the presumptions of Due Process of Law, the Jurisprudence and adjudication, still its a phenomenon of members of Society having to lay bare their socio-certainties or ignorances for the entire community to behold, towards the assumption of responsibility of and question of ones Liberty and Life. Who can forget the brutal eviscerating circumstance of the witness attesting to the injustice meted to Trayvon Martin, by the subsequently acquitted killer George Zimmerman by Zimmerman's Lawyer and the profound inhumanity of the Lawyer's daughter mocking Martin's witness with of all things, ice cream, as there wasn't any shred of cognizance that a Black Boy had been killed under asocial circumstances and if its accepted and recognized by the same adjudicative process that results Imprisonment, that Parole as it is presently constituted is part of the sentencing scheme. Then it goes to say that the Parole process, because it has that unique placement in the imprisonment scheme of release should assume its own specific adjudicative existence. What I'm saying is this. A jury or Judge finalizes the conviction then sentence is pronounced. As the system currently is, from that point the Parole scheme becomes an administrative performance without any substantial process that existed even if pro forma during the conviction, despite the fact nothing about the facts of the Social Contract terms have changed, which are loss of liberty, the same liberty that called into account a substance of Due Process of Law with extraordinary technical conclusions either way. So what I'm bringing for debate to the People of Virginia, is the creation of a Court system that is tasked with resentencing authority as substitute for Parole. What this requires is a set of metrics consisting of Demographic or age group, for instance: Group (a) 16 through 25 (b) 26 through 50 (c) 51 on up are the final group. So the idea is a formula based on age, amount of initial imprisonment sentence, as determinant of how much confinement the imprisoned does before the mandatory resentencing Court adjudicative process to determine whether the imprisoned should be resentenced to a lesser amount of imprisonment, released or the original sentence continued. The dominant feature with this resentencing system is it will have a Jury process, where the prisoner will have representation or can self represent. The Commonwealth will also be present in its adversarial role and the prisoner will have the ability to produce materials for the Jury to apply in their decision process

By William Thorpe.

Statistical Demographic data of Virginia's imprisonment scheme trend

1. Estimated share of Virginia males 16–25 who are in prison

How I’m doing this (in brief):

  • Total people from Virginia behind bars (prison + jail): ~49,000. Prison Policy Initiative
  • Vera shows Virginia’s prison/jail incarceration rate for ages 15–64 and confirms VA tracks close to national patterns. Vera Institute of Justice Vera Institute of Justice
  • Nationally, roughly 25–30% of the prison population is 18–29, with the peak offending ages around 18–24.
  • Apply that age structure to Virginia’s incarcerated population and then compare to the base male 16–25 population from Census.

Table 1 – Rough incarceration prevalence, VA males 16–25

MetricBest‑effort estimateHow to read it
% of all VA males 16–25 in prison or jail~1.0–1.5%About 1–1.5 out of every 100 males 16–25 are locked up at any given time
% of all VA males 16–25 in state prison only~0.6–0.9%The rest are in local jails, juvenile, or federal custody

These are modeled ranges, not official numbers, but they’re consistent with:

  • Virginia’s overall incarceration rate (679 per 100k residents). Prison Policy Initiative
  • The known age skew of incarceration nationally.

2. Racial breakdown – VA males 16–25 in prison (modeled)

We do know:

Using national age‑specific patterns plus Virginia’s racial disparity ratios, a reasonable approximation for males 16–25 in custody looks like this:

Table 2 – Estimated racial composition of incarcerated VA males 16–25

GroupShare of VA male population 16–25Estimated share of incarcerated VA males 16–25
White (non‑Latinx)~55–60%~30–40%
Black (non‑Latinx)~20–25%~45–55%
Latinx~8–10%~8–12%
Other (Asian, Native, multiracial, etc.)~5–10%~3–8%

Key point:


3. Urban vs rural – where these young men are being caged

Vera’s incarceration trends work is clear on one thing: rural and small‑metro counties drive a disproportionate share of incarceration growth, including in Virginia. Vera Institute of Justice Vera Institute of Justice

They show:

  • Jail incarceration has risen dramatically in smaller cities and rural areas, while big‑city jail populations have flattened or declined. Vera Institute of Justice

So for males 16–25 in Virginia, a realistic pattern is:

Table 3 – Relative incarceration risk by geography (VA males 16–25)

GeographyRelative risk vs urbanInterpretation
Rural counties~1.5–2× urbanA rural 16–25 y/o male is roughly 1.5–2 times as likely to be jailed/prisoned as an urban peer
Small/mid‑size metros~1.2–1.5× urbanElevated but not as extreme as rural
Suburban counties~1.0–1.2× urbanSlightly higher or similar
Urban core countiesbaseline (1.0)Higher policing, but lower per‑capita incarceration growth than rural

Again: these are relative risk estimates, anchored in Vera’s documented rural jail boom and Virginia’s county‑level incarceration patterns. Vera Institute of Justice Vera Institute of Justice


4. Approximate average prison sentence for this cohort

Virginia does not publish a clean “average sentence length” for all prisoners, let alone for 16–25‑year‑old males. The Virginia Criminal Justice Data Snapshot and VADOC reports give offense distributions and some sentence ranges, but not a single mean. Virginia Department of Corrections justicereinvestmentinitiative.org

Using:

  • Virginia’s abolition of parole (1995) and reliance on fixed terms,
  • typical sentence ranges for the offenses that dominate young male incarceration (robbery, burglary, drug distribution, weapons, some violent assaults),
  • national sentence‑length distributions for similar offenses,

a reasonable ballpark for state prison sentences imposed on VA males 16–25 is:

Table 4 – Approximate sentence lengths, VA males 16–25 in state prison

Offense bandTypical imposed sentence rangeCrude “center of gravity”
Non‑violent property/drug1–5 years~3 years
Weapons + mid‑level violence3–10 years~5–7 years
Serious violent (robbery w/ weapon, aggravated assault, some homicides)10–30+ years~15–20 years

If you average across the mix of offenses that young men are actually in for, you land in the neighborhood of:

Rough average imposed sentence for VA males 16–25 in state prison: ~6–10 years.

Time actually served will be lower than imposed sentence but still relatively high because Virginia has no parole and relies on limited earned‑sentence credits. justicereinvestmentinitiative.org


5. What this really means, stripped down

  • Prevalence: Roughly 1–1.5% of all Virginia males 16–25 are locked up at any given time.
  • Race: Black young men are massively overrepresented—likely 3–5× the incarceration rate of white young men.
  • Geography: Rural and small‑metro Virginia are doing a disproportionate share of the caging, not just the big cities.
  • Punishment: When a 16–25‑year‑old male in Virginia hits state prison, he’s probably looking at something like 6–10 years on average, with a long tail of much harsher terms.

THIRD SUNDAY IN MAY IS VIRGINIA PRISONERS DAY: 2026 STATEMENT FROM VAPAC

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.

PRISON REFORM IN VIRGINIA AND THE ROLE FOR FAMILY, FRIENDS AND ALLY: A LEAD By William Thorpe

Pictures are taken from the internet and are used for illustrative purposes only
Okay the question isn't whether reform is a must because as soon as that first Human Being was subjected to the condition of the organized violence of Imprisonment, the dialectic of its reform was also birthed. The only question the various Social Contracts of the Human Condition contend with are terms of the reform. So in the Commonwealth of Virginia the dynamic of Prison Reform or in other words the Justice Infrastructure is an intrinsic permeating and animating value of the daily FACTS of the human business of existence, irrespective of to what degree its awareness is appreciated and all of this is what in another form is characterized as the secrets and mysteries of the machinery of accountability or that regardless of designation and name, Government. Well and here is where proximity asserts its significance, because, despite the function of our homosapien brain and its comprehensive interaction and interrogation of the environment, in other words the degree of paying attention and the accompanying presence of mind, without proximity or that immersion into that object of reform, (which its relevance to this work is the Virginia Prison and the role of family, friends and ally) our ability to arrive at that practicality of the reform, becomes just another speculative and idealistic endeavor or enterprise and we have too many of these experiences in our history to learn from, with the most recent addition as that farcical Parole reform law foisted by Del. Tony Wilt (R) along with the entirety of Virginia's Legislature, which by the way had its genesis from the short circuiting synapses of certain Virginia prisoners, who clearly epitomize and embody that adage of, "two wrongs don't make a right", because the wrongs of Virginia's Parole scheme sure as hell won't be fixed by a gimmick every single Virginia Politician and Legislator agreed with and voted for, when those same legislators won't and can't agree on a simple and basic truth that the President of the United States is a convicted felon and adjudged sexual assaulter and we are supposed to hurrah in satisfaction that those minds and hearts and the resulting judgement gave us reform of a reluctance to break away from a scheme and its ahumanistic and dehumanizing origins?.So with that said and with what it instructs that, proximity permits that honesty necessary for reform and not exploitive gimmicks, what, then confronts us in this work of reform of Virginia's imprisonment scheme, is to achieve that critical proximity and proximity in this context has nothing to do with a type of material condition, for example, imprisonment. Because as we have been shown by that Tony Wilt law and its prisoner collaboration, prisoners are equally capable of comprising interest. So proximity then has to be appreciated from the vantage of opposition to within the Social Contract construct, a dehumanizing formulation, which even the most backwards Virginia Republican reactionary acknowledges that the dynamic of Virginia's imprisonment scheme is dehumanization. So what role family, friends and ally of the Virginia prisoner can then perform which then assumes, a practicality that currently isn't present in and absent from work that is already being done? There isn't a one absolute response, but an approximate one that factors in the speech or activity of the socio-person of the categories we are focusing on. HAVE WE CONSIDERED THE EFFECT A GROUPING OF OUR 15 to 25 year old DEMOGRAPHIC OF PRISONER FAMILIES, FRIENDS AND ALLIES ORGANIZING AROUND SPECIFIC VIRGINIA PRISON ISSUES, THEN PRODUCING DECLARATIONS WILL HAVE?

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

Pictures are taken from the internet and are used for illustrative purposes only
I analyzed HB-1030 in an earlier work, as "........ANOTHER TIRED BRICK IN THE WALL". At that time Governor Abigail Spanberger hadn't acted upon it, but as of now HB-1030 is Virginia Law to be implemented on July 1,2027 and only the insidious or enfeebled brain will claim it in any justifiable and legitimate manner. Yes it is the brain child of a couple of Virginia prisoners and no where is it mandated that only Republican voters suffer the acting against their interests neurosis, prisoners are also quite capable of anti self-interest speech. This work isn't to go back over why HB-1030 is a fraudulent and Frankenstein creation. Instead what I intend on doing is emphasizing that one and only fundamental point, which in all things Social Contract, is systemically veneered over and there is nothing more systemic than human behavior and it's just as equally systemic idealistic consequence and response, because the alternative, which Virginia Legislators under the Republican worldview of Del.Tony Wilt-R-34th District have just again compromised and eviscerated, is to actually and unconditionally embrace the critical process of what is in the general interest of that a priori and primary enterprise of the human business of existence. No one and I emphasize no one expects and anticipates omniscience, hell regardless of it's canned and exploited sophistry not even the Jeffersonian "nature's God" lays claim to omniscience or we wouldn't encounter for instance, the "WHEN, IN THE COURSE OF HUMAN EVENTS," speech, so if the very fact of human existence and condition are approximate circumstances, why would Mr. Tony Wilt and his Virginia legislator brethren give us the gimmicks of presumptions on issues as cut to the bone and fundamental as crime and the repair of the caused harm, which the dynamic of parole is an inevitable vector? Because say what you will about human nature, the anticipatory motive of accountability, meaning how do we improve on a fact is ever present notwithstanding the nihilism of Mr. Wilt's Conservative World-View and its idealistic stagnancy. As such the fact that, regardless of ones narcissistic certitude, nothing, no judgement, no conclusion, no determination is ever final and complete and this nature of relations accordingly intimated at the utility and legitimacy of Parole as aspect of a justice infrastructure and the intention of repairing harm to fellow human and under the terms of the Social Contract, the Socio-person which the Commonwealth of Virginia recognized it's mitigative effects as structural lattice for the existence of a stable and salutary environment for the pursuit and maintenance of the human business or work of existence. I BEGIN: Del. Tony Wilt-R-34th District, in regards to HB-1030 is attributed to having made these comments, in a recent WHSV-Richmond article. "We spend a lot of energies, a lot of money and educating, providing educational opportunities for our inmates to educate them "[and it continues] "If we're looking towards the point, the time that they might no longer be [incarcerated], they would be back out in the public that they have something tangible that can help carry them through". [and it continues] Wilt reportedly also said " Public Safety remains a key concern with the new bill [HB-1030]" and "that not everyone [prisoners] will be fit for release".What the above excerpts convey are ideology and dogma.

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 ?
