The Problem With The Virginia Department Of Corrections Is Old As The Antagonism Of Patrician And Plebeian By William Thorpe

Roman law emerged upon the supposition of "Supremacy", that some humans were supreme and others weren't. Whether it was Pentateuch inspired, with its " chosen people" contradiction is irrelevant. The fact is, the bastardization and its mongrelization of Roman law through Charlemagne, the Magna Carta and its existence in Virginia and the rest of the North American colonies permitted its survival upon the political-economy of chattel enslavement of Africans. Law or Politics defends political-economies, meaning how members of society, The Social -Contract, do what is necessary for their existence and in Virginia what was necessary for the existence of the "supremacist" subjective was the unremunerated labor of the chattel enslavement of Africans. In other words "Supremacy" went hand in hand with chattel enslavement of Black people and Virginia laws enforced it. Fast forward to the practices of The Virginia Department of Corrections and no matter how hard we look, how rose colored our glasses are we will not find daylight between, the above the law behavior of Virginia's Prison Official and the "supremacist" motive force of the chattel enslavers of Black people.

The "Supremacist" supposition of ancient Rome created, the patrician who was only conditionally subject to law.Which the plebian, everyday folk was bound to.This is what Virginian political-economy replicated and to which no matter the apology,we see it entrenched firmly as logic of The Virginia Department of Corrections.

Of course the Virginia prison official will clothe "Supremacy" as anything but. Its been done enough,its undermined what little faith and trust the Virginia tax payer has in government, enough.Impacting the terms of Virginia's Social Contract enough and up until that moment HOMOPRISONER, becomes a genus as HOMOSAPIEN,we reject the above the law habit of The Virginia Department of Corrections and its Prison Official.

NOW THAT WE HAVE PUT DEMOCRATS IN POWER WE HAVE TO ENSURE CHADWICK DOTSON AND THE VIRGINIA DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS ARE COMPREHENSIVELY REFORMED By William Thorpe

Virginia and Democratic voters said they want accountability and transparency in their government by resoundingly defeating the reactionary and reprobate backwardness of Governor Glenn Youngkin and Republicans in the 2023 Statewide Elections.

This isn't the first time voters have resoundingly and unequivocally said they want and have expectations of "a change from the quicksand of business as usual that is the familiarity of daily existence". As a matter of fact every election since pro-segregationist and their massive resistance push against de-segregation took off their sheets and became Republicans, that has put Democrats in power, whether State or Nationally, has been that of voters wanting and expecting progress. A change in the daily organic familiarity of existence. In other words, even when voters didn't have the language to say it what their expectations held breath for is an accountable and transparent terms of The Social Contract, that not only needs but relays on the peoples faith and trust in the fact that in society The people are not the enemy but conditions are.

What we have come to understand is life's mysteries isn't so much about the doublespeak of Evangelicalism but its specifically about our political ignorances.What I'm talking about is that old provincial, "who you know and what you know" adage. What this translates into is simply this: We have voted in Democrats who are naturally inclined to do the right thing for us everyday folks. But what we cannot do is take for granted that Democrats will instinctively do the right thing as such we have to sharpen our focus and engage with those we voted for, constantly reminding them that reforming the Virginia Department of Corrections isn't aspirational but a fact that must be realized.

The Virginia Department of Corrections is doing to prisoners what Americans rebelled against during covid 19 lockdown solitary confinement and isolation and we at vapac stand with Virginia's taxpayer opposing it. The criticism against solitary confinement and isolation of covid 19 lockdown is its against the social essence of being human and we call on our political leaders to once and for all stop it.

Bob Lewis Is Calling Out The Dictatorship Of The Office Of Governor Of Virginia By William Thorpe

Dictatorship isn't limited to those "others" we are instructed to revile as being less. But to those who dare to think, dictatorship is first and foremost an indulgence in, pretensions, assumptions, suppositions, prejudices and reaction. Recently I encountered work by Bob Lewis, a former reporter for The Associated Press, calling out what has always been and is an antagonism of Virginia's Social Contract, specifically, disenfranchisement as being a fact of Virginia's criminal justice infrastructure. His critique presented the issue as one of those "aw shucks" colloquialism of horrific truths of The Social Contract, as if Virginia isn't a repository, a fetid retainer of the "Johnny come lately" discoverer of by tooth, nail and claw. Yes, Virginia rebelled against Britain, which we can now say was a political-economy maneuver of cutting out the middleman. So it comes as no surprise that the pretensions and suppositions embedded in, the sovereigns narrative of divine right of rule, reemerged in the Office of The Governor of Virginia along with its inherent ignorance's required to effect keeping the reactionary dynamic of the Social Contract pursuing its status quo interest alive and well, even if its former aristocratic masters had experienced the leather burn of having its reins yanked and snatched out of their hands. Am I as a Virginia prisoner thats been exiled to the prison system of the State of Texas glad that a functionary of Virginia's elite and status quo finds it worthy to illustrate the brazen contradiction of Virginia's criminal justice infrastructure by criticizing the way and manner his liege superiors have compromised, the act of voting by disenfranchising those who have been subject to its justice system? yes. Bob Lewis in his rebuke piece, calling out Governor Glenn Youngkins machinations over suffrage is a reminder that one can be a legatee and beneficiary of the antagonisms of a skewed Social Contract and find their, "emperor has no clothes" voice.Because considering that the justice infrastructure aspect of the Social Contract is what enables and permits its centering, any voice then thats "woke", exposing its rot, by reminding us that no one is above law is the highest form of work and the subsequent reform.

VIRGINIA CRIME LAB, IS A CRIME By William Thorpe

One doesn't even have to do an exhaustive and comprehensive research of Virginia's Jurisprudence, a simple and cursory one will do. To realize that the entire infrastructure of its Criminal Justice and Imprisonment system isn't concerned with realizing justice within the legitimacy of Social Contract but its purely and relentlessly about controlling its members who for one reason or the other interact adversely with the bias and dishonesty of its political-economy. It's impossible to ignore the contradictions, antagonisms and hypocrisies of Virginia's Social Contract that are at every turn of print and television media cycle thrust upon our frazzled, beat down and frayed psyches with revelations, one after the other that despite the exhaustive mental labors expended structuring The Social Contract and the crimes against nature exploitation of the labors of the chattel enslavement of Black people, the only operative of Virginia's Social Contract is 'do as I say'. Because how are we to wrap our heads around the fact that, for example, The Virginia Crime Lab. tasked with applying mental and manual labor to the singular duty of investigating evidence from crimes is itself a crime scene. The Crime Lab, thanks to the hard work of Virginia Public News [VPM] and the dedicated podcast, Admissible has been exposed as mishandling forensic evidence, meaning the violations and malfeasance of mishandling crime-evidence has perverted and corrupted whatever "justice" means in The Commonwealth of Virginia. What compounds this pathetic state of affairs is the response, meaning none and the lack of accountability. The role forensic, or the adjudication of crime-evidence plays within Social Contract is equally as pivotal and significant as the industry and creativity of humanness. Because it underpins,"trust" in the center holding of Social Contract. But what we have experienced is, the "Due Process" and "Equality under Law "formulations of Social Contract are convenient suppositions intended to psychologically lull us a'la the frog being cooked analogy. One of the few mechanisms available to a prey of Virginia's criminal justice infrastructure fighting the conviction is, a writ of innocence, (codified at, Va.Code Section 19.2-327.1) but it's a mirage and what I mean, is its structured not to enable the pursuit of justice but to disable and make a travesty of it.

Anything that not only adds on to the undermining of the underpinning trust of Virginia's Social Contract, but compounds it as the revealed acts of Virginia's Crime Lab are, is, an indictment not only of the specific perpetrator of the malfeasant handling of forensic evidence by the Lab but the entire status quo-elite establishment apparatus. From its corrupted Churches, through its Universities and Colleges, the complicity of its corporate and even to a degree alternative media, its commercial and business enterprises and its coopted Labor organizations, the entire structure and component halves of the Commonwealths Social Contract are participants in the frame work and mindset that criminalizes an entire demographic and historicity of Virginians. The failings of the Virginia Crime Lab haven't happened in a vacuum but are direct results and consequences of the unredressed, crimes against nature chattel enslavement of Black people, the extermination of Native Americans and seizure of land, the continuation of a stylized- feudalistic political-economy as Capitalism, which is not to say Capitalism is a benign set of economic relations. Did we need these actual revelations of fraudulent forensic evidence handling by Virginia's Crime Lab to realize that travesties were occurring, when as an edge on the tip of the spear of Virginia's organized-violence and its justice infrastructure it embodies the corruption of the Social Contract?

2023 Virginia Elections, Accountability And Prison Reform

VAPAC agrees that prison is a fact of the Social Contract. We agree with the axiom that insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result and we agree that the history and practice of Virginia's justice infrastructure fits the axiomatic definition of insanity and specifically, The Virginia Department of Corrections is guilty of it.

What we need is a honest and practical debate over what is expected of the imprisonment scheme and the justice infrastructure, and the answer is accountability, which currently we don't have. With the 2023 Virginia elections we have the opportunity to break out of the insanity axiom by electing people who will first of all acknowledge that what the Virginia Department of Corrections has been doing isn't working. For example, insistence on brutalizing prisoners with solitary confinement, shipping prisoners to far of states away from family are extra-judicial acts that cannot be defended notwithstanding the logic, because it is at the expense of and it self defeats the very underpinning of the Social Contract. To have an accountable prison system and government we have to vote for those who will honestly represent us and not repeat the insane pablum of tough on crime and law and order.
