ON PRISON REFORM IN VIRGINIA AND WHAT DOES COMPLICITY MEAN By William Thorpe

The author, Nancy Isenberg, a Professor of American History at LSU, produced a book," White Trash. The 400-Year Untold History of Class in America ". In which she brought forth certain facts, moments of History, relevant to America and the activity, in particular of White-European invaders. I start this work, which I expect will be brief with description of Prof. Isenberg's work because it deals with ignorance and how we are not absolved of complicity due to it. Ignorance isn't necessarily bliss as adage attempts to absolve us of the concurrent and accompanying inevitable and inexorable complicity. But what it does is, it permits us to justify (fill in the blank) of why if in all other matters, we can vigorously lay claim to personal sovereignty which naturally is based on cognition and knowledge (knowledge in this context specifically means the honesty of seeking out what we don't know but must in order to function optimally), but as soon as we are confronted with aspects of existence that are to our benefit, we then act as if the underlying travesties of law, (which is primarily our collective social-selfishness regardless of ones participatory understanding), as, Political-Economy, as the justice infrastructure and the practice of imprisonment are then and somehow beyond the reach of our comprehension. I titled this work, ON PRISON REFORM IN VIRGINIA AND WHAT DOES COMPLICITY MEAN, because to reform a system and its practices requires, demands and ask, are we ready to grasp and understand that which is before us? Just as what is a human mind is insular and secret yet its work, its production is inclusively objective on whatever the terms are of the relationship, such then are the substance of society and The Social Contract, because society requires and is based on relationship, regardless of whether one is master of or slave to, it exposes and reveals ignorance and the subsequent complicity. In The Commonwealth of Virginia, The Department of Corrections is under the Secretary of Public Safety and Homeland Security, who is nominated by The Governor of The Commonwealth of Virginia. The Director of The Virginia Department of Corrections is appointed by said Governor, this process is codified at Virginia Code Title 2.2-200.Now I will not waste any ones time stating why the Virginia Department of Corrections is a failed agency unwilling to satisfy the modernity of its mission. Virginia's corporate and legacy media, notwithstanding their status quo and establishment bias have documented enough of The Departments' violations and extra-judicial practices. What I want to get at is the canker of complicity. When one study's Virginia laws, what you will find is outline upon outline of process, intended to hold the Virginia public official i.e prison official accountable. So for example at Virginia code 2.2-520 (C) #9 we see that there is an office of Civil Rights within the office of attorney General authorized to investigate civil right violations (and what is noteworthy is the Virginia prisoner is not excluded from its protections as in other Virginia laws that make a point of excluding the Virginia prisoner)The Virginia prison official is subject to the authority of the law at 2.2-511.1as defined by Va.Code 9.1-101
