VIRGINIA'S IMPRISONMENT SCHEME IS A CONTINUATION OF CHATTEL SLAVERY OF BLACK PEOPLE AND AN EXTENSION OF THE INDENTURED SERVITUDE OF A TYPE OF WHITE PERSON By William Thorpe

This work isn't another one of those idealistic gambits into the tired and pathetic history of Virginia, to wit these UNITED STATES. The need for this work is to start the process of, okay, now that The Commonwealth of Virginia has been exercising the fiat of its organized violence by imprisoning people regardless of and besides pretext and logic, its time the social polity confronted a couple of it's incidentals, which are (1) what exactly are the Commonwealth's anticipations and (2) is it being realized? The reality is the practice of "imprisonment" throughout our human condition has always skirted Intellectual-Honesty and Hypocrisy. What I mean is simply this, irrespective and regardless of the lack of accountability exploitive diabolical trade off by society, given to (members of the justice infrastructure and prison official) as incentive boon for the satisfaction of their internal and inner deviant psychological realities for and towards their savage and sadistic work, of actualizing and effecting the imprisonment scheme, of which we then correctly recognize as their integral realization of themselves, gained upon the intellectual-dishonesty and spurious logic of controlling and sequestering another human, is laid bare and revealed as hypocritical and incompatible on our present and contemporary terms with its archaic suppositions. I am not contrasting nor claiming an ancestral, historical or traditional lineage with any antecedent logic of Virginia's imprisonment scheme, which happened to be and was nothing more than a thinly veiled political-economic ploy. Virginia's political-economy was founded on the chattel slavery of Black people and the indentured servitude of a class and type of White person. Upon revision of its terms, specifically, consequences and results of The Civil War,1861-1865 Virginia then conveniently exploited its imprisonment scheme as replacement for slavery and indentured servitude. The difference with the post-civil war substitution of imprisonment is, it was done under the guise and logic of DUE PROCESS OF LAW and JUSTICE. So returning the imprisoned Black or White person to the function of creating wealth for Virginia's status quo was euphemistically presented and justified as "PUNISHMENT", in pursuit of JUSTICE for crimes. What however confronts modern, contemporary Virginia is this, We the people reject" PUNISHMENT "as euphemism for whatever. If The Commonwealth of Virginia wants to indulge in the arbitrariness of " PUNISHMENT "as scheme of imprisonment, then it must and has to be clearly defined. We reject its idealistic imposition as function of DUE PROCESS, because it isn't. There is nothing in Virginia law that clearly defines what is " PUNISHMENT "under the imprisonment scheme. The imposed prison sentence, is understood as the punishment. But then the Virginia prisoner is subjected to treatment, conditions and terms that are dredged up from the dusty annals of historic barbarity that are nothing less than a mockery and insult to the notion of Virginia's civilization. Just because its politically expedient and opportunistic to scape goat the Virginia prisoner, isn't indicative of "otherness", but rather an indictment of a political-economy and Social Contract that extremely expresses its terms in the occupancy of prison cells by its component members. If as individuals,society instructs us not to make excuses, then, society meaning the status quo, should do likewise.
