When The Commonwealth of Virginia indulged in Capital Punishment, till Democrats and a majority of Virginia voters abolished it in 2021.The legality of killing by Capital Punishment was Due Process of Law. Simply, the existence and compliance to specific steps, from the initial arrest or The State of Virginia placing its hands on the sovereign person or human being, in other words imposing its detaining will and intent on a Human and from that moment forward the terms of the interaction and relationship is defined by law. Whether the law is malevolent or benevolent is besides the point. The law is process which the State subjects and submits itself to and as such is indicted by or in perpetuity held to account by. When killing people under its capital punishment logic was The Commonwealth of Virginia's highest function and its most savage based on the historicity of savagery. It had its process and that process gave the killing of people by the State of Virginia legality or acceptance within The Social Contract, in contrast with murder. Which is killing without due process of law, nevertheless its logic and reason, it exist outside terms of Social Contract. In other words the singular logic and reason of the sovereign human is without standing of due process as due process of law is only to be found and realized as a communal or aggregate function of and within Social Contract, which necessitates it. So with all of this said, The Commonwealth of Virginia violated law when it killed Richard Boggs in 1990, because it violated the process of the act. By violating the process of the killing, the act then became as any other killing outside of Due Process of Law. The killing became "murder". On January 19, 2023, under title NPR uncovered secret execution tapes from Virginia. More remain hidden, reporter Chiara Eisner told us about the murder of prisoner Richard Boggs under guise of Capital Punishment by The Virginia Department of Corrections in 1990.Virginia's Due Process for the act of legal execution as Capital Punishment had its steps or process or to quote the French writer Jacques Delarue (in his book The Gestapo, commenting on Hitler and his henchmen) and I paraphrase, the banal administration of death, which Virginia prison officials tasked with killing Richards Boggs, violated without a second thought, hence revealing law as an inconvenience. Virginia's capital punishment law and process that transformed murder into legal execution required prison officials in process of executing a prisoner to have and maintain contact with The Governor of Virginia. Because the Governor had authority to put on hold or call off an execution. But as Chiara Eisner's reporting on Virginia's execution tapes reveal, the killing of Richard Boggs in 1990 happened without such contact and authority. Meaning prison officials who were killing Richard Boggs were acting outside of Virginia law and its capital punishment process, as such it was murder and The Virginia Department of Corrections must be held accountable.

WE ARE ALL HUMAN SO WHY DO YOU PUT YOUR FATE IN ONE'S IDEA AND NOTION OF KINDNESS, JUSTICE AND FAIRNESS By William Thorpe

The United States exist as a Nation not because of the exceptionalism of the people, to wit kindness, sense of justice and fairness. But the United States is a Nation because and specifically, because of the Constitution. The U.S Constitution became Supreme authority in 1789, exactly 234 years ago. No one alive today, not those who exploit, pervert, distort, defend, dismiss and undermine it existed during its construction and ratification, yet the point I make is in 2023, 234 years since The Constitution became authority, it is the basis, the framework for the Nation and its definitions, its determinations and it is what forms the American Humanness. In otherwards everyone (the anti and the pro) are all defined and realized by it. It determines what is acceptable and what isn't. So our behavior isn't defined by and accounted for as a supposed innate expressed value, but is a result of to what extent we are subject to and beholden to the accountability of the Constitution. In otherwards we are not a Nation, or a People without it nor are our interactions and relations with each other based on the dictatorship of our individual personalities, regardless of how individually nice, kind, just and fair we are.

Remove, replace and substitute The Constitution with any organizing principle, because the point is human behavior is always accountable to something and in Virginia and United States society and its Social Contract, that something is Law/Constitution. So when we talk about holding the Virginia Prison Official and those of the Justice Infrastructure accountable, what we mean is ensuring that they are subject to and subordinate to law. We care less about their personalities, whether they are kind or fair in their human dispositions. The only thing that matters is the fact no one is above law.

On NPR's, Morning Edition for 12/14/23, we were told that approximately 100 State Attorneys or Prosecutors in the State of Ohio systematically violate the law in the performance of their duties. Meaning even as they prosecute those accused of violating the law, they are also violating it. The fact law isn't applied equally or we are unequally held accountable isn't new. But what I want to show is how our inattentiveness to language permits prison officials, prosecutors and the entire justice infrastructure to exploit and violate law. One of the accused Ohio Prosecutors in the NPR story and sanctioned by Ohio Courts, said he hadn't done "anything wrong". This comment anticipates our inattentiveness to language and is the classic refrain from the corrupt and crooked official deflecting focus from their criminal behavior. Because the issue isn't whether one has done " anything wrong", but its whether one has violated law which according to The Constitution we are equally subject to. The Virginia prison official along with components of Virginia's Justice infrastructure have swore an oath to uphold The Constitution and Laws of the land. The everyday Virginia citizen and taxpayer hasn't swore an oath to anything ,half of the time people are charged with violations of laws they didn't know existed, yet they are held accountable. While the Prison Official and the Justice infrastructure cabal whose oath requires and expects knowledge of laws, standards, practices of the state and ethics are allowed to claim qualified and absolute immunity. A practice that makes a mockery of equality under law.

The Virginia Department Of Corrections Is A Fraud, And The Solomonic Spectacle Of Cutting A Baby In Half By William Thorpe

In 1 Kings 3:16-28 We encounter the prospect of the spectacle of cutting a baby in half. As barbaric as it is that is what The Virginia Department of Corrections has been doing as function of Virginia's Government ever since it emerged as organized bureaucracy. The Department claims as mandate and mission, public safety. Yet one would be hard pressed to find indicators, showing exclusive facts that the Departments organic action alone has given us public safety. What we do find is fraud. Fraud in the sense, the Departments actions are philosophically and diametrically at odds with its mission statement. The idea that prisoners are less than human (and I say this based on what the Department does to and how it treats Humans who are imprisoned in its care), is at odds with readying prisoners for return and reintroduction into society. The only explanatory logic for the Departments behavior, (its treatment of prisoners) is it has never accepted the anticipation of Virginia law and the expectation of the Virginia tax payer, who fund the Department that the imprisoned human is to be returned in a socio-positive and functional state than the prisoner was before the imprisonment and that is fraud. Irrespective of the fact that historically the Virginia citizenry has averted its discerning gaze on what is done by those it bestows the privilege of acting in its name on issues as the condition and circumstance of its prison system, doesn't mean the prison official should then respond in a fraudulent manner by compromising and violating the integrity of Virginia's social contract. Yet we won't find any nook and cranny of the Department that isn't awash in its fraud. If mistreating and abusing humans creates fully developed and realized people. Then why don't we see the sort of education dispensed to children of Virginia's elites at their private schools based on a curricula of abuse and mistreatment? Because the only right Virginia's Justice infrastructure invokes as the imprisonment logic is, it knows how to educate the prisoner into becoming a wholesome contributor to society. Besides that what we are then left with is crass sadistic and gratuitous cruel pain and despite the psychopathic origins of Virginia's social contract no one will dare claim that to create a realized human, subject him to a comprehensive regime of mental, psychological and physical torture and you will have the most productive and safe society. Because that is what The Virginia Department Of Corrections spends taxpayer funds doing.

THE VIRGINIA PAROLE PROCESS, THE IDEA OF WHO IS WORTHY AND THE QUINTESSENTIAL CRIMINALITY OF RACISM By William Thorpe

In 1954 the Supreme Court of The United States, stated the obvious in its Brown v. Board of Education ruling striking down segregation and I paraphrase that it was anti human and in extension a crime. So what did the pro-segregation parents of kids growing up in the criminal environment of segregation promptly do? They taught their lil 8,9- and 10-year Johnnys and Janes to start screaming that they want a, "white school ". Well those lil Johnnys and Janes clearly understood what their words meant, because they had heard enough of it from their parents. Those 8,9- and 10-year-olds who were being groomed to be racist and pro-segregation in 1954 are still living among us and are now in their late 70's. What I want to focus on is the fact society and the social contract has forgiven them and treated them with the privileges of what parole should be for the criminal. In other words, those racist and pro-segregationist, who chanted " we want a white school", whose racist and pro-segregation parents created and provided for them the criminal environment of dehumanizing and treating in particular, black people as "other" with the political and legal-infrastructure, B. Muse wrote about in the work, VIRGINIA'S MASSIVE RESISTANCE and has been intensively labored over with a quasi-display of jurisprudential professionalism and honesty in a panoply of Virginia cases I.e Taylor v. Northam 300 va 230 Etheridge v. Medical Center Hospitals 237 va 87 Loving v. Commonwealth 206 va.924 Brown v. Richmond 204 va.471 Harrison v. Day 200 va.439 DeFebio v. County School Board 199 va. 511 County School Board v. Shelton 198 va.226 Naim v. Naim 197 va.80 Stevens v. Commonwealth 70 Va.App.280 are as I've stated alive and among us in modern, contemporary 2023 society and contributing to the political-economic needs and wants of society.

No one will argue, what is racism, its character, its purpose and its supremacist intent. Furthermore no one will argue that it isn't par none destructive. It is tyrannical within the social contract and is the quintessential dynamic of corruption and the supremacist, indulgence. I say this to get at this: if the racist and the supremacist indulgence is accorded the redemptive privilege inherent in the parole process, then what are the terms and basis of the argument that relative criminal violations for the most part should be treated with prejudice and extra proscription?

Every harm and deviance within society has its roots in racism and the supremacist indulgence. Yet the racist, the pro-segregationist, the supremacist are redeemed on their in themselves terms, while the 15,16,17-year-old Jefferson, Washington, king or Thompson consequences of racism are entombed in Virginia's concentration camps, at Red Onion and Wallens Ridge State Prisons, which George Allen, the former racist and supremacist Governor of Virginia described as his crowning achievement and monument. So when we are given the narrative that the imprisoned Virginia prisoner isn't worthy of parole or the reform of the prison condition. We respond with why then are the racist, the pro-segregationist, and the supremacist worthy?

The Virginia Prisoner Is A Result Of A Criminal Conviction, While The Virginia Prison Official Is Practically Crooked And Corrupt by William Thorpe

The difference between the Virginia prisoner and the Virginia prison official and guard is accountability. The prisoner is held accountable by the justice infrastructure for alleged and the subsequent conviction, of a violation. The Virginia prison official, eludes, evades and isn't held accountable, because Virginia and The Nations justice infrastructure isn't designed to do such to prison officials and all members of the State organized-violence apparatus. Look I'm not presenting lengthy research notes and studies to validate any of what I'm saying .I leave validation to the honesty of the reader, because whether one is subject to or object of the daily terms of organic interaction with and within Virginia's Social Contract, regardless of denials and delusions we all know what accountability is, who is held to and subject to it and when crookedness and corruption are not exceptions but the rule as "above the law" privilege.

If and when the prisoner is correctly and accurately held accountable by criminal conviction, it is done specifically on the individuality of the prisoner as singular perpetrator without the reason and justification of societal conditions and circumstances. But on the contrary the crookedness and corruption of the Virginia prison official, goes beyond the supposition of a criminal code and gets at and is an expression of the very logic of the social contract, which is no one is above law, because the corruption of the public official, which the prison official is. Reveals and exposes the contradictions and antagonisms inherent in the social contract. Because in as much as the rule of law pronounces itself as unbiased, democratic and unprejudiced it is anything but and we see it as such in the expressed attitudes and assumptions of the prison official. In otherwards the prison official is corrupt and crooked not as a singular organism but because he/she exploits the very democratic logic of society and the social contract. The prison official perceives law as a petty nuisance, a "liberal" construct, coddling prisoners and he/she is the authentic dispenser of "punishment". As such what we then see is a systemic and thorough violation of law by the prison official in their governance of the prisoner.

So, Virginia prisoners are denied and deprived of food. Denied showers, denied adequate clothing, denied medical and mental health care, denied outside exercise, denied affirmative and realistic intellectual and sensory stimuli in preparation for release from prison. Virginia prisoners are routinely assaulted and tortured in all manners imaginable and then some by the Virginia prison official, all one has to do is get a catalog of the voluminous law suits filed by Virginia prisoners protesting and seeking redress from the extrajudicial rampage of the prison official.

When we talk about the level of corruption and crookedness of the Virginia prison official. Here is case in point. Back in 2001 a number of guards at Virginia's Wallens Ridge State Prison were charged with assaulting a prisoner and falsifying prison or state records by the Wise County Commonwealth's attorney. The case itself was an exception because it is extraordinarily and extremely rare for a Commonwealth's attorney to charge prison officials of misdeeds, violations and crimes. So this is how Virginia prison officials responded, they came in the D/5 pod of Wallens Ridge State prison one evening in either February or March of 2002 and moved out prisoners from 9 of the bottom tier cells and replaced them with prisoners from other parts of the prison. Moving prisoners from pod to pod or cell to cell isn't remarkable or noteworthy because prisoners are moved for whatever reason, but what made this move in question interesting was it was enmasse and normally when such enmasse moves happen its due to something is being done to cells or the pod. Anyway nothing was made of it, till a day or two later around noon a bunch of old white people were escorted into the pod and as soon as the group of old white people entered the pod all the recently moved in prisoners to the bottom tier started beating, banging on the cell doors, howling, shouting, screaming and doing all sorts of things that were it on any other day or time Wallens Ridge prison guards would have used as pretext to run into the cells, assault and beat prisoners, sic dogs on 'em, spray gas and OC (oleoresin capsicum) pepper gas 'em (note OC gas has a history of killing people). But on this day the Wallens Ridge prison guards were ensuring that the group of old white people observed to the fullest the bedlam behavior being displayed by those prisoners who it later came out had been moved in purposefully to behave in that manner for the group of old white people who it turned out were members of the jury on the case of those prison guards on trial for assaulting a prisoner and subsequently falsifying prison or state records. What Virginia prison officials had done was promise certain prisoners with transfer from Wallens Ridge State Prison, which at that time was understood to be a supermax prison, if they would participate in a stunt for the jury on the case of those charged guards. The idea was the behavior encountered by those old white people in the D/5 pod is what their sons and daughters who are employed as prison guards are subjected to, deal with and face on a daily basis. So, if a prison guard (who is either their son/daughter/husband/wife or community member) assaults a prisoner, its excusable, because how can anyone work under such conditions without reacting? And it worked because the prison guards were found not guilty. Now this scheme put into effect by the Virginia prison official at Wallens Ridge State Prison, is a text book study of corrupt and crooked behavior by a prison official, exploiting democratic authority given within the social contract.

First of all, if we are to actually reform The Virginia Department of Corrections and subsequently the entire Justice Infrastructure. It starts and begins with us, we the people and how "woke" we become to the one and only truth, which is: we begin by rejecting that tired narrative of selective accountability. To those of you who might not be familiar with the George Orwell book, Animal Farm, its characterization of some animals being more equal than others has always been the correct and accurate analysis of Virginia's Justice Infrastructure and the prison official. Prisoners are literally beaten and assaulted by the Virginia prison official, not because the tax payer and voter have decided that, that is the professional conduct expected of those whom the privileges of subjecting human beings who for the most part have exhibited the same behavior the states organized violence practices for the purported benefit of the community and society, to imprisonment. But it's simply because the prison official exploits that grey area within the social contract that seeds corruption and crookedness .Let's take for example Virginia's current Attorney General, Jason Miyares besides spewing the tired and worn pablum of, tough on crime and bounding up steps at Virginia's concentration camp, also known as Red Onion State Prison and violating the Virginia voters faith and trust in government, with schemes to thwart and pervert their will and intent of reforming the Commonwealth's measure of reducing sentences. Does any one and I mean any one who isn't scared to think accept that there is a sliver, a modicum of probability that Jason Miyares,in his "infinite wisdom" cares about the crookedness, corruption and extra judicial behavior of the prison official? Whom from his Miyareian world view can never ever be deviant and a law breaker?What matters however is Jason Miyares is entitled to exist in his reprobate supremacist quagmire and we reject it as history has consistently rejected its dictatorship.
