AGAIN THE VICTIM OF CRIME MUST BE A ACTIVE PARTICIPANT, HAVING AN INTEGRAL ROLE IN THE WORK OF HOLDING THE VIRGINIA PRISON OFFICIAL ACCOUNTABLE By William Thorpe

If the jaded, callous, exploitive and naturally opportunistic Virginia Politician had their way the Victim of Crime would keep on existing the narrative of diametric opposition to the Virginia Prisoner, a perpetual fodder for the electoral path of least resistance, under the Flag waving banner of whatever "tough on crime" means, conveyed with that wink and nod deceit that, the imprisoned Virginian, convicted of offenses, thereby creating THE VICTIM OF CRIME, are not only sub-human, but peculiarly an "enemy of the people", to be considered and treated as an insurgent and enemy combatant, because a language for it exist, which consequently creates opportunity to exploit. As such, not only are the victim of crime denied and deprived of that necessary and requisite insight into the actual and realizing procedural Social Contract definitions, thereby qualifying their anticipations, expectations and the imprisoned alleged perpetrators' existence, but also The People of Virginia, (including victim of crime and imprisoned alleged perpetrator) are victimized by its nonexistence and omission. It is counter intuitive that perpetrator and victim have a shared recognition under the procedural terms of a Social Contract, meaning the existence of law and primary or Natural Principles and Virginia's Social Contract or governance isn't any different. In other words, contrary to the presumptions of "our" Schizophrenic in Chief, Thomas Jefferson, in The Declaration of Independence, terms of existence between Humans have always existed singularly anticipating and whether In or For itself, expecting the object and objectivity of relationship terms with the "Other".This " other", notwithstanding, as object existing For Itself , also exist as a construct of terms, for and within The purpose and utility of The Social Contract, which has as primary objective, ensuring its continued existence. So yes, how a and any response, to threats to the primary objective, as identified as the continued existence of the Social Contract is determined and defined requires the understanding of certain specific unconditional and unbiased facts as, firstly aspirations and secondly practical realizations. We see an assault on this, understanding of certain specific unconditional and unbiased facts, when the Virginia politician, in most cases Republican and also conservaties of The Virginia Democratic Party, presents an idealistic and intellectually liberal narrative, in pursuit of short term electoral gain, that for example the victim of crime doesn't have the benefit of The Due Process of Law and terms of The Social Contract thereby completely perverting and distorting the Law and its Natural Principles underpinnings. The consequences of this political short sightedness and its exploitation, is impunity by the Virginia Prison Official and the lack of accountability, which then creates cynicism and the recognition that The Law doesn't apply to all, when if a disregard for Law created the victim of crime then its the height of absurdity and hypocrisy that its process is its violation. What this circumstance ask of the victim of crime, is to become a foot soldier in the perversion of a "Justice", supposedly pursued due to their existence.

WHAT THE VIRGINIA PRISONER ASK OF THE PEOPLE OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF VIRGINIA By William Thorpe

As Human Beings we are full of contradictions and antagonisms and for varied and any number of reasons certain minds and hearts among us, historically have pursued and maintained ideas and a world view which in effect have, whether deliberately or, unthoughtfully and thoughtlessly inoculated us against the realization and instead replaced it, as function of our brains with an idealistic settled and done with, whole cloth of conclusions that not only impede but actively wars and is in a leave no quarters annihilative opposition to the realization that what we struggle against are Contradictions and Antagonisms. So the result of this are all sorts of circumstances and occurrences, which we generally classify as "corrupt". Now as this relates to the People of Virginia and the Virginia Prisoner, its simple, the circumstance and occurrence of the imprisonment scheme executed in the name of the People of The Commonwealth of Virginia is one incomprehensible, yet inevitable and inexorable "corrupt" continuum and regardless of whether The People collectively or individually recognize it and then maintain the position that the causes are, Contradictions and Antagonisms or they ascribe to it the idealistic World View of a fundamentalist Nature to the Corruption, is besides the point, the facts nonetheless are, where and when the circumstances and occurrences of Corruption can be ameliorated and in some cases done away with, that weaponized inoculation against it's recognition and acceptance that the causes are the irrefutable practicality of Contradictions and Antagonisms, not only stands in the way of amelioration and resolution, but actually enables and realizes the circumstances and occurrences of Corruption. This is fundamentally what the Virginia Prisoner ask of The People of Virginia. That notwithstanding the democratic process exploited by the People of The Commonwealth of Virginia in the selection of their Representatives and Leaders, without that basic honest recognition of the existence of the diametric opposition Contradictions and Antagonisms have with the idealistic World View of a whole cloth of supposed conclusions and its antithetical inoculation, what occurs is that continuum of "Corruption", meaning The People have to display a vigilance and its intellectual rigor against those who would claim that suppositions are answers. The status quo beneficiaries of corruption and its suppositions mechanisms as realized in Virginia's imprisonment scheme are a one trick pony persistently hammering away at the idealistic World View and its suppositions as cause which then places the People of the Commonwealth in the position of having to on the one hand seek "justice" from the harm of singular criminality on its terms, while enduring the systemic harms of Contradictions and Antagonisms without ever identifying and recognizing their existence and instead ascribing to their effects the idealistic World View and its formulations, which then truly reveals how destructive this perversion is on The People.

THE SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES, ITS INFERIOR COURTS AND STATE COURTS MADE PRISON OFFICIALS, ABOVE THE LAW WITH ITS "QUALIFIED IMMUNITY" SUBORNATION, HERE IS AN IDEA TO RETURN THE VIRGINIA PRISON OFFICIAL TO THE RIGHTFUL WILL OF THE PEOPLE OF VIRGINIA UNDER LAW By William Thorpe



Aubrey McKay, an imprisoned Virginian, wasn't sent to prison to die but died in the custody of Virginia Prison Officials at Koncentration Kamp Wallens Ridge State Prison, this past June 4th, 2025.His release was imminent in July 2025, his birth month. Instead, his Mother got his body. Under the governance of Governor Glenn Youngkin, his Republican cabal and allies, The Virginia Department of Corrections and its Prisons under the Administration of Director Chadwick Dotson has been one catastrophe after the other, of unimaginable horrors as prisoners protesting their deplorable conditions and circumstances set themselves on fire in a desperate speech of self-immolation, requiring the responsiveness of the Virginia Prison Official, were they responsible and accountable to their legal obligations, under law, to the will of the People of Virginia, but due to the malfeasant permissiveness and extremism of Governor Glenn Youngkin and Republicans and the monstrosity of the "Qualified Immunity" subornation, allowing the Virginia Prison official to thumb their nose at the People of Virginia and the Social Contract's "faith and trust" that no one is above the law, especially the Prison Official who has sworn and is Oath Bound to be under Law, shirked it. I BEGIN: Our Politicians, who are also our legislators, have shown themselves regardless of reason incapable, unwilling or both of holding accountable the Virginia Prison official to the will of the People, under Law. However, there are limitless reasoning premises of Virginia law, dealing with Virginia's imprisonment scheme, that not only indicates but supports and defends what I'm about to outline as a step towards holding the Virginia Prison official accountable. VIRGINIA CODE TITLE 53.1-25 DIRECTOR TO PRESCRIBE RULES RULES TO BE AVAILABLE TO PRISONERS. This law allows the Director of the Virginia Department of Corrections to make and make accessible such rules to those held imprisoned in his/her custody and care. The premise of this law is the simple common sense of everything human society (which prison is also) that any type of interaction or relationship regardless of terms, whether its enslaved and enslaver, prison official and prisoner, Government and the People, requires and is based on understanding and cooperation whether its coerced or voluntary. So Virginia law 53.1-25, requiring The head overseer of the Prison System to promulgate rules, policies or that basic understanding of terms of relationship between the imprisoned Virginian and the Prison official is premised on the agency of the prisoner to understand and cooperate and this has another name and classification, which is, a CONTRACT.BLACK'S LAW defines CONTRACT thus: "An agreement between two or more parties creating obligations that are enforceable or otherwise recognizable at law". This definition fits the Operating Procedures, Policies and Rules of Virginia Prisons as such if Virginia's imprisonment scheme demands and requires the cognitive agency of the imprisoned then it follows that, the Virginia Prisoner must also have a claim on the performance of the Virginia Prison official functioning and operating within the Prison 

If there is any debate to be had on whether the Virginia Prisoner, for purposes of holding the Virginia Prison Official Accountable, has a claim, or to properly present the question, "has standing" to assert claim on the performance of the Virginia Prison Official's professional behavior, we leave its distinction and formulations of distinguishing it to the assumptions of it's Contra, while as we understand our relationship with The Commonwealth of Virginia as Virginia Prisoners, that yes we have and possess all that is required, which is no more no less than the fact that we are subject and the objective of why the People of Virginia are redistributing and transferring wealth as wages to the Virginia Prison official in exchange for the professional behavior and service of administering Virginia's scheme of imprisonment. Aubrey McKay didn't die in the custody of Virginia Prison officials, after its all said and done, for no other reason than non-responsiveness, unresponsiveness and a fundamental presumption that they, the Virginia Prison official, are above the law, the same law that created them and allows them to exist as prison officials in the first place. What I propose isn't novel within the prison context, even in the Virginia Prison and imprisonment terms, because during various tableau's of Virginia's imprisonment scheme, various Virginia Prison officials have exploited the basic idea, when it suited their fancy, especially when criticism and popular outrage of their savagery and barbarism were reaching an untenable critical mass, as a pacifying mode of communication, of what I see as a comprehensive mechanism of returning the Virginia Prison official back to being accountable to the People of Virginia. The idea is simple, Virginia Prisoners grade Wardens/Superintendents, not as some ad hoc public relations stunt to assuage and pacify popular outrage, but a grading scheme with real teeth, under the commission of Virginia law as an accountability mechanism that actually impacts the professional existence of Wardens, Superintendents. The grading MUST INCLUDE AND CONSIST OF ,Responsiveness of the specific prison administration under the Warden/Superintendent, extent to which the specific administration complies with Virginia Department of Corrections Food Service Mandates, the prison administration's willingness to discipline racist prison officials. The above are just a drop in the bucket of the requisite grading data points. But the general idea is Virginia prisoners grade the various Wardens/Superintendents biannually and the results of the grading are actual accountability measures that will result in retention or dismissal from the privilege of doing the Peoples work as a Virginia Prison official. Once again what I'm outlying is a general parameter of a practical manner of oversight that doesn't subject the People of the Commonwealth to the obscenity and insults to their intelligence of spectacles of the Virginia Prison official hectoring during pro forma "oversight hearings" why they can't comply with the law, why they shouldn't and why the Virginia prisoner should be seen as an insurgent and enemy combatant. Let me speak to the "Qualified Immunity" subornation foisted on The People along with an entire deconstructive scheme that, if once upon a time notwithstanding its serious inherent contradictions and antagonisms, The Constitution Of The United States declared aspirations that were institutionally radical, but has now become caked up and pathetically seamy as whatever metaphor you the reader can conjure up. Reform is a natural must as such any construct that purports, to exempt its scrutiny, which "Qualified Immunity" does is Anti.

WHEN WE THINK ABOUT IT, THE MOVIE, RESPECT ABOUT THE LIFE OF THE QUEEN OF SOUL ARETHA FRANKLIN, STARRING JENNIFER HUDSON MESHES AND RESONATES PERFECTLY WITH THE WORK OF PRISON REFORM IN THE COMMONWEALTH OF VIRGINIA By William Thorpe

Pictures are taken from the internet and are used for illustrative purposes only
I guess its because I'm a guy, raised in the urban environment of Detroit, who promptly graduated into Virginia's prison system at the age of 20, then subsequently experienced everything the Commonwealth of Virginia pined for in its pursuit of all that is backwards and regressive as memorialized by E. Pollard in his LOST CAUSE, that I casually ignored that every fact of the existence of human life is correctly and accurately representative and as emphatic as what the Physics of Chaos and Fractals instructs of the environment and which Dialectical deconstruction handles so well. RESPECT, the movie on Sistah Aretha Franklin's, Life didn't sharpen my focus because of the Detroit connection, nor did her Iconic existence that had been, a take for granted backdrop to my entire existence, do it either. But when I noticed that from start to finish, beginning to end, even more so than the dummy us down "aw shucks" of Forrest Gump, RESPECT was one seamless panorama of Americana, I paid attention and saw not just Sistah Aretha's story but all the inflections of cunning reaction and where there is the reactionary narrative, also will we find its negation potential, which simply is the work of reform. I BEGIN: RESPECT, has resonance for all male, female and all in between. It ridiculously and boldly flips convention on its head, when with the opening scenes we encounter Forest Whittaker, playing Aretha Franklin's Preacher Dad, C.L. Franklin, having under his roof all that a type of religiosity would sanctimoniously badger as being "the world", as if, The World is some sort of alien environment, but Which we are honestly reminded by the movie, that a Preacher's living room IS the world. Whether C.L. Franklin, Aretha's Dad deliberately pursued the assemblage of the practical subjects and objects of his anticipated sermons in his living room, is besides the point, but what it does maturely identify is, that natural political condition of the social-Citizen irrespective of relationship terms with the Social Contract, which we are quickly reminded that the organic condition of Aretha's existence is inferior and subservient to that which exist outside of the walls of her Father's living room, which has to be so extremely existentially dire to her and theirs, that her Preacher Father would rather tightly embrace them and their heresies under his roof than have them subjected to whatever insufferables lurked outside. There is another germane statement, to the movie depicted dichotomy of the religious embrace of its purported antithesis, evidenced by Aretha's Dad, which is, the terms and its systemic and generalized circumstance of Black American life and existence were more of a characterization of religious sin than the whitewashing of that contradictory generalization of again religious invidious sin. This display is the exact same narrative nature of the imprisonment scheme in the Commonwealth of Virginia and the work of its reform. Just as Aretha's life as depicted in the movie RESPECT, heightens our understanding and perception, we see reaction by the Virginia Prison Official, their Republican and Conservative allies and Virginia Corporate and mainstream media shills also sharpening our recognition in their revealed corruption in critiques our ancestors, in anticipation of our work of reform and holding accountable governance and the Government Official in its form of the Virginia Prison Official have given and provided us as being irrefutable and unimpeachable analysis that such is the nature of the anti-accountability mind and its presumptions of being above the law and its impunity.

WHAT EXACTLY DOES VIRGINIA CODE TITLE 53.1-39 CERTAIN PUNISHMENT OF PRISONERS PROHIBITED, MEAN? By William Thorpe

Pictures are taken from the internet and are used for illustrative purposes only
VIRGINIA CODE TITLE 53.1-39---CERTAIN PUNISHMENT OF PRISONERS PROHIBITED [it states] "NOTWITHSTANDING ANY PROVISION OF THIS CODE OR ANY OTHER LAW, RULE OR REGULATION TO THE CONTRARY, IT SHALL BE UNLAWFUL FOR THE DIRECTOR, THE BOARD, OR ANY OTHER CORRECTIONAL AUTHORITY HAVING THE CARE, CUSTODY, OR CONTROL OF ANY PRISONER IN THIS COMMONWEALTH TO MAKE OR ENFORCE ANY RULE OR REGULATION PROVIDING FOR THE WHIPPING, FLOGGING, OR ADMINISTRATION OF ANY SIMILAR CORPORAL PUNISHMENT OF ANY PRISONER OR TO GIVE ANY SPECIFIC ORDER FOR OR TO CAUSE TO BE ADMINISTERED OR PERSONALLY TO ADMINISTER OR INFLICT ANY SUCH CORPORAL PUNISHMENT"-----Then the Virginia Prison Official after reading, studying and receiving what they term and consider as guidance from the Office of The Attorney General of Virginia on the meaning of and on how to implement the law, promptly begins to violate it in principle and in practice. Give me a moment and I'll show what I mean, right after I quote how BLACK'S LAW DICTIONARY defines "CORPORAL PUNISHMENT" [as] "PHYSICAL PUNISHMENT PUNISHMENT THAT IS INFLICTED UPON THE BODY (INCLUDING IMPRISONMENT)".This proscription and prohibition against Corporal Punishment has been a Virginia law for a while. What normally happens is Legislators or the Politicians construct the Law, the Governor signs it and then it exists under Due Process. Meaning, as it relates to the law in question a Virginia prisoner goes to court claiming the Virginia prison official in violation of 53.1-39,has subjected him or her to corporal punishment. The Virginia prison official represented by the Attorney General of Virginia denies any violation has occurred and the Judge sides with the prison official and tosses or dismisses the claim. Meaning the Virginia prison official returns to the prison and keeps on doing whatever they were doing that compelled the prisoner to file the claim. But here is the reality, the Virginia Prisoner still suffered and endured the state and condition of something physical. So instead of tying the Virginia prisoner to a whipping post or placing the prisoner in a stockade, which would evoke that colloquial description of "corporal punishment", firstly the Virginia prison official, refuses to characterize a condition the prisoner is subjected to as punishment and that in itself is that original permeating corrupting general rot or canker of the Virginia prison official's "Thought", because the entire condition and circumstance of imprisonment, is "punishment". Then the Virginia prison official begins to subject the prisoner to all sorts of punishing pain inducing and causing methods, for a classic example of this [see this case] BURKE v. STANLEY YOUNG 2024 Va. App. LEXIS 550 [the Virginia prisoner, Burke, who was already suffering from a number of degenerative and congenital diseases, was according to Court records "hog tied "]. Virginia Federal and State Courts are full of all sorts of accounts of "corporal punishments", meted to Virginia prisoners in direct contradiction and violation of Virginia code 53.1-39. [See these cases FOBBS v. HUNT 2021 U.S.DIST.LEXIS 87094 BAILEY v. TURNER 736 F.2d 963(and Sherardize this particular case).Violations also occur with that wink and nod by Judges and Governmental Officials who deliberately weaponize euphemisms in support and defense of that which corporal punishment does yet 53.1-39 proscribes and prohibits. The reality of this is: the Virginia prisoner, family and friends experience the impunity and disregard of the law as nothing less than a tyrannical imposition.

Urgently Bringing To Your Attention a Serious and Ongoing Situation at Greensville Correctional Center That Demands Immediate Investigation.

Pictures are taken from the internet and are used for illustrative purposes only

I am writing to urgently bring to your attention a serious and ongoing situation at Greensville Correctional Center that demands immediate investigation.
On July 1, 2024, I was violently attacked in my cell at approximately 2:00 PM. Two assailants entered my cell and assaulted me. At around 4:00 PM, the same individuals returned and attacked me again—this time robbing me and stabbing me multiple times. I was medevaced to Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU) Medical Center, where I was treated for severe injuries, including a dislocated finger, a fractured spine, twelve stab wounds, and extensive facial trauma that left my right eye blackened and my left eye swollen shut. Shockingly, it was nearly 6:00 PM—four hours after the initial attack—before a guard finally entered the area. The times were recorded on the surveillance video of the incident, though I am not sure if that footage still exists. I have heard that tapes sometimes disappear or get erased.
After being released from VCU, I was taken to the prison infirmary. I immediately filed a complaint describing what had happened. The following day, in what I believe was retaliation for speaking up, guards subjected me to a degrading strip search, forcing me to bend over despite the severe pain in my back and spine. I was also required to undergo full-body X-rays without any explanation.
Since this assault, I have repeatedly requested to see a counselor to address the mental trauma I continue to experience, but every request has gone ignored.
I am not the only one suffering under these conditions. Other inmates have been beaten and stabbed, and many of these incidents go unreported. The prison is severely understaffed, and the guards who remain often display an alarming “I don’t care” attitude, creating a dangerous environment for everyone. Inmates with serious mental health issues are housed in general population—some are a danger to themselves, and others can become violent without warning.
I firmly believe it is in the best interest of inmates, staff, and the public that a thorough and independent investigation be conducted into the conditions at Greensville Correctional Center before more people are harmed or killed.

Sincerely,
