THE VIRGINIA PRISON SYSTEM AND IT'S DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS IS A FUNCTION OF GOVERNMENT AND TO REFORM IT ALSO MEANS HOLDING GOVERNMENT ACCOUNTABLE..... by. William Thorpe

Recently one of our Virginia State Senators' made it known that,she had toured a couple of Virginia prisons. (Russett Perry) She didn't say which ones, but she did say something to the effect that prison reform and public safety are bipartisan or nonpartisan issues. I begin with: I disagree that REFORM, regardless and irrespective of context, is nonpartisan. Reform, has a specific and particular orientation, which is improving on a status quo. As such improvement isn't regressive but ALWAYS progressive and politics as a partisan endeavor and enterprise is representative of interest. To reform systems, implying an existing interest is being challenged, the context then is within a natural opposition to the existing status quo or interest, which will concurrently reveal that the politics reflective of the interest defended is helplessly partisan. The political tendency represented by our Virginia State Senator who recently spoke on her prison tour is reformist, yet the idealistic nature of Virginia's politics and it's defining narrative or speech requires her to relatively negate its reform predicate necessity, with the characterization under the disingenuous and duplicitous claim that prison reform is nonpartisan. So when we state: If, the Virginia prison system is a Governmental function and the only social question to be answered is its reform, then we must and have to hold our Government accountable and it begins with requiring that our representatives and political leaders give us accurate and correct definitions of what the Virginia public and society needs for the level of debate for reform of the Virginia Department of Corrections. Now let me unequivocally state that the Virginia Prisoner is a political and social creation. To you the reader who disagrees with the description thats what debates are for. To hold our government accountable, it requires and demands of us not just a mere grasp of events happening in Virginia prisons but the principles and ideas of the Virginia prison official administering it within its historical context. The problem however is, as I started this work, the double negative tendencies undercutting of the reformist intent once again expressed by another Virginia politician talking out of both sides of their mouth over the question of prison reform and public safety in Virginia. First of all it is correct and accurate to say that Virginia's justice infrastructure inclusive of the prison system is dysfunctional and hypocritical and I need not defend the statement with nothing less than pointing out the fact of its negation and undermining by none other than The Governor of Virginia Glenn Youngkin and Virginia's Chief Law Officer, Attorney General of The Commonwealth of Virginia Jason Miyares, both constitutionally tasked with upholding it, but instead supporting and endorsing a sex assault adjudged, 34 felony count convicted, Donald Trump, the Nations most notorious felon. Its incredulous that anyone, any Virginian can dare think that the Political Party of Youngkin and Miyares, The Republican Party isn't partisan on the necessary question of reforming the habits, practices and philosophy of the Virginia Department of Corrections. The Virginia prisoner doesn't exist as a medieval hypothesis for schizophrenic speculations by prison officials of what it means to imprison a human being or the flagellatory impulses of self hatred. But just as the Dickensian world exist as measure of a demented example of a dysfunctional British society, so is The Virginia Department of Corrections and its prisons, Dickensian.
