President Ronald Reagan Gave Us "Trickle Down Economics " Which Enabled Trickle Down Law Breaking Impunity By The Prison Official And Justice Infrastructure By William Thorpe

What lessons are we learning from the current Social atmosphere? What historical blinders are being removed? Virginia's imprisonment scheme has rested on a quasi-unchallenged value of a National character that there is a demarcation between subjects of The Justice Infrastructure, of whom some are imprisoned, which the Supreme Court of The United States, declared in Rhodes v. Chapman 452 US 337 (1981)" The Constitution does not mandate comfortable prisons "conditions that are restrictive and even harsh.....are part of the penalty that criminal offenders pay for their offenses against society". Now what events of a National character since 2021 have revealed is, the based demarcation, which The Supreme Court in Rhodes v. Chapman asserts is as shifty as dry sand and just as speculatively porous. The very basis of the Supreme Court itself was challenged by those declarative events of January 6th, 2021, that inextension said, the Virginia prisoner as all other prisoners across the Nation were mere arbitrary extra-judicial circumstances. The reasoning in Rhodes itself was symptomatically complicit in its preparation for a January 6th lawlessness. Because on what authority is "comfortable" cautioned as being without Constitutional mandate, when the inverse is just as accurate? For one, "comfortable" as legal destination is idealistic due to its subjectivity along with "restrictive", because imprisonment as practiced by an entity as The Commonwealth of Virginia with its inchoate pseudo legal formulations, has to expect the resulting prison official malfeasance and law breaking.

The point is understanding what we must in order to reform Virginia's prison system. Virginia as The Nation, constructed a Justice Infrastructure and prison system in pursuit of a specific political-economic interest and "justice" as an expression of "public safety" is only accountable within its logic and that is what must be changed. Everything we must understand is contained within relations of The Social Contract and what I mean by the Social Contract are our aspirational and deterministic narratives of progress and those we self-check ourselves with, regardless of value. Secondly, we have to come to the unvarnished acceptance that our ignorance is always and I emphasize always used and exploited against us. I've been imprisoned by the Commonwealth since 1980, February to be exact. So despite the fact that the Nation's history as Virginia is choke full and replete of reference markers in the service of extra-judicial impunity, what I have paid attention to due to my imprisonment are those breathed into National existence since 1980 to date, by Ronald Reagan through Joe Biden, their Presidencies and in Virginia, John Dalton through Glenn Youngkins, Governors.Despite major points of existence as, parole on the Virginia Prisoners imprisonment. There has to be the primary realization that prison reform in Virginia is specifically and fundamentally a targeting of the daily extra-judicial behavior of the prison officials interactions with the prisoner. Virginia's Justice Infrastructure, as the Nations' has anticipated the incompatibility that "equality under law" for the people also means the congruent "above the law" contradiction of the Government officials i.e the prison officials 'function and activity. We remember the resulting 2020 National protest of Cop killings of Black Men, embodied in George Floyd's death. We remember the cries for eliminating Qualified Immunity as function, an above the law shield, giving cover to prison officials and Cops who break the law and violate the public trust. We remember how The Republican Party came out against any hint of reforming it as shield giving illiberal protection to the offending Public Official. But Qualified Immunity has a undemocratic origin, as an authoritarian tool employed as all things American in the service of enslaving Black People and maintaining discrimination. See JAMISON V. McCLENDON 476 F.SUPP.3d 386 and the analysis and compleate history of Qualified Immunity by Judge Carlton W. Reeves, then See BLUE BY DAY AND WHITE BY KNIGHT:REGULATING THE POLITICAL AFFILIATION OF LAW ENFORCEMENT AND MILITARY PERSONNEL 81 Iowa L. Rev 1079 by Robin D. Barnes, See PIERSON V.RAY 352 F.2d 213 and PIERSON V.RAY 386 US 547 (Both Pierson cases are Genesis of Qualified Immunity deployed to protect Jim Crow era Mississippi Cops. I bring these cases to light again because if we are to reform The Virginia Department Of Corrections and The Justice Infrastructure we have to understand its nature, meaning its purpose. Here is another point, See this case DOBBS V. JACKSONS WOMEN'S HEALTH ORG.142 S.CT 2228,what I want to point out is check out the Appendices listing all State's historical Anti-Abortion laws, pay attention to Virginia's 1848 law and its Machiavellian construction when it states, "Any free person who shall administer to any pregnant woman......"(what I ask the reader to pay attention to is the emphasis by the law on "free person" considering that in 1848 Virginia was a slave holding state, so a pregnant woman who held people enslaved could get around the law by having her enslaved administer the abortion inducing drugs. The significance of this is it makes the case that the above the law inclination is the dialectic.

The Presidency of Ronald Reagan, from 1980-1988 was one of pure without rhyme corruption, it gave new life to the administration and institutionalization of impunity by the justice infrastructure and I make no bones saying it, because it offered nothing, than a perversion of whatever latent redemption is inherent within the National Social Contract. Simply regurgitating as political strategy, President Lyndon Johnson's well quoted observation that, "If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell,give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you", wasn't mastery but crass mediocrity which is what Ronald Reagan's brain produced as high function when he practiced his version of the other bigot, Richard Nixon's "southern strategy" by promising to "restore to states and local governments the power that properly belongs to them", which was just another deadender flailing, invoking E. Pollard's, perjurious, shameless,"Lost Cause", a revision of the enslaving Confederacy's Civil War cause, which on August 3,1980 Reagan dog whistled to the "Lost Cause" ears at Mississippi's Neshoba County Fair a stone skip away from the infamous Philadelphia, the 1964 killing zone of 3 damn good people who were resisting the short sightedness of the Ronald Reagan's of the world. So When we talk about prison reform, it means precisely this. When a Virginia Prison Official thinks its a good idea to introduce rabid, savage dogs into the prison environment, for the purpose of controlling prisoners of whom a majority are Black, at the expense of history, as if dogs are not a peculiar and particular totem of the dehumanization of Black people. Then said prison official acts like a savage beast, a flesh tearing dog hadn't just been unleashed and siced on the prisoner whom to let The Virginia Department of Corrections tell us has a core mission of preparing for a return to society? So when we talk about reforming the Virginia Department of Corrections and the prison system, what we are actually confronting is, a brain so corrupt, so degenerate that it presents to the "Jeffersonian candid world", a means, a mechanism as strategy, as objective, when we are told, something as "States Rights" can exist, for itself without purpose or objective and it is accepted. Which is what we are asked to accept from the prison official, that in pursuit of the core mission of preparing the prisoner for return to society, the prisoner must be subjected to daily barbarity, that are in effect violations of law that not only created the prisoner but the prison official and the trust and privilege given by the people of Virginia. The States Rights disclaimer by enslavers and supremacist is the same prison official logic in pursuit of impunity and its above the law presumption, because the prison official, wants to violate law while claiming to be its defender. Check out this anecdote, back in I think 2002, I was in solitary confinement at Wallens Ridge State Prison and I overheard a Captain who had just been acquitted for falsifying state documents say to one of my neighbors that he was taking the word of the floor officer over the prisoner (my neighbor) because my neighbor was a convict and the floor officer was a "sworn correctional officer".I found it ironic because the Captain himself was an acquittal away from being a convict and on top of that prison officials have never turned a snitch word down because the snitch is a convict. The point is what that Captain was expressing was that denigration and dismissal of the prisoner's, our humanness which is the epitome of above the law impunity.
