Our Loved Ones and Us

 

Some of our members ask what do we do about issues and problems facing our loved ones in the system.

We start with, we encourage members to ask loved ones in the system what specific responses they want us to amplify and make public.

Secondly and most important is we have to vote in people who will reform VADOC because prison and criminal justice reform are first and foremost politics      we cannot expect people who have a two-faced, selective attitude toward justice to do the right thing in its reform.

In conclusion, we ask our community of members to always speak up, speak up for loved ones in the system. We also respect the concerns of victims of crime, because we are all in the same fight and victims of crime are also manipulated and exploited in the most perfidious of ways by politicians who only see them as gambit to political power. Violations of the prisoner is equally a crime as a victims experience, so we stand together in demanding accountability of the system
