SPEECH AND PRISON REFORM IN VIRGINIA l l By William Thorpe

In the first part of this work I stated the obvious, which is reform and correction of Virginia's Prison System and it's Virginia Department Of Corrections is specifically and primarily, Political, because the Political is fundamentally SPEECH and all and everything that is offensive about the egregious and malfeasant behavior of the Virginia Prison Official is because of Politics as such to correct the violations of The Virginia Department of Corrections, it takes the speech of politics. But the Virginia voter has been groomed to accept that the only type of politics and speech surrounding the Virginia prisoner is that of demonization and scapegoating. So what happens is that adage of not checking out a gift horse in the mouth, when Virginia politicians, particularly Republicans, start raving about crime, prisoners and ad hoc, if only the Virginia Prison Official is allowed to brutalize the prisoner more, responses as if brutality, savagery, barbarity and all sorts of deviousness, which to quote THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT, which Virginia is under its Jurisdiction, in the case WILLIAMS v. BENJAMIN 77 F.3d 756 "MANKIND HAS DEVISED SOME TORTURES THAT LEAVE NO LASTING PHYSICAL EVIDENCE OF INJURY", dealing with prison officials gassing prisoners with harmful mace and not allowing it to be washed off, are not already hallmarks of prison official, behavior. The politics of prison reform in Virginia requires and demands a honest narrative of crime, justice and the imprisonment scheme, meaning its scapegoating air must be denied to those politicians whose only contribution to the SOCIAL CONTRACT, is crass exploitation. 

There hasn't been an accounting of Virginia's applied Justice practices and what I mean with this is, in the absence of a clear, defined intention and expectation, that "x" amount of dehumanization and savaging of the Virginia prisoner will result in "y" realization, then the application of justice and its practice in Virginia is just another asocial and presumptive summary act under and accorded another name because it is done by THE STATE OR COMMONWEALTH OF VIRGINIA. Of course none of this is news. The Social Contract, when confronted honestly without that axiom of the road to hell is paved with good intentions blah,blah,blah, without that oafish corruption of exactitude, certitude, zealotry, dogma and the inevitable Steve Urkelian, "did I do that" destruction, is integrally practical enough to realize the constructiveness of enlightenment and its progress. Meaning Cave Man had the necessary eureka moment of revelatory enlightenment of the existential threat that "braining" posed, which is what The Commonwealth of Virginia through its Virginia Department of Corrections is yet to learn. The current narrative or politics and its speech defining the Virginia prisoner, meaning the accepted treatment of the prisoner, harms the People of Virginia as a general proposition and consequence, because it compels and induces a corruption of the Commonwealth's aspirations with its self negating influence, again not on the prisoner who ironically is the only honest, fact, value and element because the Virginia prisoner exist as an exposing fact of the Commonwealth's contradictions, but on The People, by their making a mockery of that same law that created the Virginia prisoner in their permissiveness of its violation by the Virginia prison official. So for example on the one hand Virginia stands for the defense, nurture and support of the human condition and its requisite human life, right ? Of course right, nonetheless and however, we see Virginia doing what to the life of the prisoner?The Virginia Department of Corrections is tasked with providing medical and mental health care to the prisoner, but it starves and gives the prisoner rotten and unfit for consumption meals. Which then takes a toll on the prisoners health and ability to fight off diseases, which then increases and compounds the various cost to the Virginia tax payer of treatment and the point is this compounded cost could have been avoided had the Virginia prison official simply followed and complied with their own operating procedures, policies, the various Virginia laws concerning nutrition and that one irreducible fact, a human being regardless of circumstance is HUMAN, and a State as The Commonwealth of Virginia acting in our collective name, including the Virginia prisoner must unconditionally affirm it. But the reality is due to the partisan politicization of The Virginia Department of Corrections as means to assuming political power any and all farcical, fraudulent and patently intellectually dishonest assertions by specifically Virginia Republican politicians gains that sirenic traction within the average Virginia voter, who understandably is at their wits end over, take your pick, any number of the contradictions and antagonisms of Virginia's Social Contract, then add on the highlighting of an unspeakable heinous criminal deed, to which is scapegoated and "othered" by your typical politician, just as our current Governor Glenn Youngkin, with his hypocritical exploitation of the former Virginia Parole Board paroling of a cop killer, who became a cop killer under and due to the same law that also afforded him process of parole, which Glenn Youngkin as Governor took his oath of office by swearing to defend and execute the same law that accords a cop killer process of parole, just as it convicted him of cop killing, instantly perjured his oath by undermining all faith and trust in law by attacking the paroling of the cop killer, because it fit a political narrative, yet that same narrative didn't fit and apply when as Governor of Virginia Glenn Youngkin stuck his tongue out in mockery of all Virginians harmed by crime, when he burlesque pranced on stage with a 34 count felony convicted then candidate, but now president of The United States. The point being what we encounter as truism and an inescapable fact, is the obstructionism of Virginia's political partisanship towards holding the Virginia prison official accountable.
