SPEECH AND PRISON REFORM IN VIRGINIA By William Thorpe

Human Beings, we complicate stuff needlessly and the consequences of such complications are, as the "streets" would say, we "self check" ourselves or we get in our own way. I'm not concerned with whatever rationalizations we self check ourselves with because the only arbiter is ACCOUNTABILITY and as it relates to the work of reform of THE VIRGINIA DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS and its Prison System, the question isn't whether the Department is fundamentally corrupt and needs the correction of reform, because the corruption is self evident, but how is the necessary ACCOUNTABILITY affirmed and realized. Now here is where we get in our own way or that self checking of ourselves, because we complicate the applicative simplicity of the means of holding The Government of Virginia accountable in its form of The Virginia Prison Official. Here is a simple question how does a regular John or Jane Doe Virginian assume public and governmental authority? Of course we all know the answer, its through the electoral process or the vote and as it applies to the specific issue of reforming the prison system, it then matters extraordinarily and inordinately great who those millions of Virginians vote for, based on and because of their grasp and comprehension of its basis in Virginia law and the requisite ACCOUNTABILITY. Even as I state this and despite the fact that this is common knowledge, the average Virginian, takes it for granted, despite recognizing viscerally the inherent and fundamentally corrupt philosophy of the prison official, but and because they self check themselves with and by accepting the deliberate and purposeful perversion that the prison official is not above law, but under it as we all are. The next thing is how does the average Virginian get in their own way by accepting that the prison official can do the same exact identical deeds that resulted conviction and imprisonment of a Virginian as lawful? again the answer is simple, its easier to scapegoat than, to demand ACCOUNTABILITY
