ON VOTING AND PRISON REFORM IN VIRGINIA. By William Thorpe

Let me begin with:THERE ARE A LOT OF VIRGINIANS WITH STAKE IN THE CONDITION AND SITUATION OF VIRGINIA'S CRIMINAL JUSTICE AND IMPRISONMENT SCHEME WHO PERPLEXEDLY EXPRESS DISILLUSIONMENT AND IN SOME EXTREME INSTANCES ARE VISCERALLY ANTIPATHETIC TO VIRGINIA'S ELECTORAL PROCESS IN GENERAL AND MORE POINTEDLY VOTING, AS SUCH ARE EFFECTIVELY IN OPPOSITION TO THEIR VERY OWN CRITIQUE OF VIRGINIA'S SOCIAL CONTRACT AND ITS CRIMINAL JUSTICE AND IMPRISONMENT SCHEME.....So I begin, this isn't intended as a tutorial or apology for electoral processes and its voting specificity, but I will simply state the obvious which is regardless of governmental process,VOTING is an intrinsic lattice and regardless of amounts of disruptions and dissolutions, once the dust clears, we return to THE VOTE and VOTING as manner of SPEECH, which is how and with which the voter or THE PEOPLE express their understanding and pursuits of the necessary and affirming conditions and circumstances for their existence and lives, so in so many words the more efficient the vote or specifically the speech, the better suited conditions then are for progress and there isn't a facet of Virginia's Social Contract than its criminal justice and imprisonment scheme that is in dire need of the reformative process of progress and the subsequent enlightenment. So it is perplexing to encounter the sort of undermining the electoral process and VOTING, positions taken up by a type of Virginian, despite the fact,that on the one hand they are heavily invested, by the fact of their enormous and inordinate labor expenditures in exposing and critiquing the failings and violations of Virginia's imprisonment scheme and the corruption of it's Virginia Department of Corrections, in the reformation of those compromising and violative terms of The Social Contract,that are expressed in the "above the law" hubris and presumptions of the Virginia Prison Official, which its existences ironically, is cause and festers the voter apathy and disillusionment this work confronts. Now let me unequivocally state that all that is wrong with Virginia's imprisonment scheme and its Department of Corrections is because of the electoral process and the VOTE. Let's take the abolishment of Parole, which was a direct result of the electoral process and how certain Virginians voted and for whom they voted, specifically Republicans. Or let's take this current struggle to hold the prison official accountable at Virginia's Koncentration Kamp Red Onion State Prison, which again is a consequence of the electoral process, because strange as some might find this, yet its all archived, Red Onion State Prison shouldn't even exist were Virginians paying attention because a review by THE JOINT LEGISLATIVE AUDIT COMMITTEE of The Virginia General Assembly in 1985 had specifically told Virginians that after the issues that plagued the State's then Mecklenburg Prison, never again should Virginia pull a stunt as it had with Mecklenburg Prison by purporting to confine and warehouse a supposed type of prisoner at one prison, yet due to the VOTE, Republicans in 1995 ignored those conclusions and under the disgraced racist Governor George Allen gave the State two SUSSEX STATE PRISONS, I AND II, THEN RED ONION AND WALLENS RIDGE STATE PRISONS all under the hard sell of providing jobs for rural and economically depressed areas of The Commonwealth and that are the consequences of THE VOTE.
