JUSTICE AND THE VIRGINIA PRISONER By William Thorpe

Pictures are taken from the internet and are used for illustrative purposes only
Were the terms of our National and Commonwealth of Virginia or State Social Contract honest, in other words, in practical pursuit of the advancement, progress and development of "The People", which is what Madison's "more perfect union" anticipated, there would be a base and fundamental cognition and understanding of JUSTICE. But on the contrary and because of the dishonest terms of The Social Contract, as such experienced as antagonisms, we have a negation of Madisonianism. So instead of the advancement and progressive development of The People, meaning permitting and enabling that positive perception necessary for the materializations of that aspirational engine, our ancestors consistently preambled all our Declarations with, what we instead have is a reactionary and nihilistic view inanely attacking, what you ask? Well the answer is simple and straight forward, that base and fundamental cognition and understanding of JUSTICE.I BEGIN: JUSTICE is commonly defined as, THE FAIR AND PROPER ADMINISTRATION OF LAWS, with a number of structures. So for example there are for starters,[commutative justice, distributive justice, personal justice, popular justice, positive justice, social justice, substantial justice] and the thing is we shouldn't have to be lawyers or Law Professors to have a basic and fundamental understanding of JUSTICE because it is the engine and driver of the WHY THIS AND THE WHY THAT of The Social Contract. Just as the term "functional literacy", indicates that fundamental knowledge and understanding required of and demanded of people at various levels interacting, whether personally or professionally. So the point is if we are to get the full benefit of The Social Contract with that perpetual reform, then just as WE ALL GET THE AND GOD SAID..... ,then we should also get WHAT IS JUSTICE, because it is the only terms of our existence and Human Condition. In the absence of "understanding", the insidious motive emerges, pushing whatever agenda suits its fancy which is reactionary and always at odds with something and that something naturally is an expansive or progressive enabler, in accord with Life. As this relates to the Virginia prisoner, its simple "reform". The conditions and circumstances of confinement of the Virginia prisoner and imprisonment, exist in a state necessitating reform and are at odds with the most basic and minimal understanding of JUSTICE, as the fair administration of laws. The People of Virginia in whose name the maladministration of JUSTICE occurs seem not to have that functional literate idea that travesties are being done in their name along with the fraud of misusing resources. So for example any push and work of reforming Virginia's imprisonment schemes and any hint of holding to account the Virginia prison officials' deeds and practices unleashes idiotic invectives of "soft on crime", or the argument concocted under that proverbial rock," prison isn't a holiday inn" and all of these arguments are egged on, catalyzed by Virginia Politicians and Legislators who are responsible for and to, that fair administration of laws, because they enact it. There is that group of the People of Virginia who are doubly victimized by the condition of that lack of understanding of JUSTICE, whom are the 'victims of crime' and their victimization is even more insidious because, it is exploitive. If the harm of the criminal act has any number of dysfunctional reasons, then the exploitation, which is premeditatedly executed by a Virginia politician, specifically and particularly, The Virginia Republican is diabolical.

DEHUMANIZATION OF THE VIRGINIA PRISONER III By William Thorpe

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


In the 2010 Ridley Scott movie depiction of ROBIN HOOD of English tales, RICHARD THE LIONHEART, the English King is told by Russell Crowe, the yet to be Robin Hood, that God wouldn't find favor in his deeds during one of the CRUSADES against Muslims and Russell Crowe's character exact words were "Godless", that The King Richard's deeds were Godless. Needless I add the King didn't take to kindly to it, even though he demanded honest council from Russell Crowe's character, which he subsequently placed Russell Crowe in the stockades for his "honesty".The point is Richard The English King expected and assumed that slaughtering Muslims was a Godly deed, well "History" in the form of Russell Crowe's character, who participated in the slaughter as a soldier following orders disabused Richard The Lionheart of those assumptions which as metaphor fits and is apt in characterizing and defining the professional behavior of the Virginia prison official in the duty of imprisoning Virginia citizens processed under law. Despite the fact that there is a universe of calculations and interests animating and directing the Virginia prison officials' professional behavior and attitudes in the work of administering Virginia prisons, what we know, observe and experience is the unequivocal and unambiguous fact of DEHUMANIZATION. If no human is all knowing, all seeing and omniscient then we can confidently state and declare that dehumanization of the prisoner as a pursued practice result, is just that, another petty and sordid example of gratuitous cruelty of a sadistic psychology. In the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit case, WILLIAMS v. BENJAMIN 77 F.3d. 756(1996)(which Virginia and the Virginia Department of Corrections are under its jurisdiction) gave us this ruling, citing this UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT case, WILKERSON v. UTAH 99 U.S. 130 (1878) "Deference to Prison Officials does not give them Constitutional license to torture inmates", which in plain speak is mistreat, abuse and all the synonyms of dehumanization. The UTAH case which the 4th Circuit based aspects of its decision in the WIILLIAMS case on was decided in 1878 !!!, my exclamations are not to be mistaken with surprise that THE SUPREME COURT of THE UNITED STATES was that enlightened in the 19th century, despite the DRED SCOTT decision in its history. What my exclamations underscore is the fact that Prison Officials, not only in Virginia but Nationally have understood that law prohibits and precludes them from dehumanizing THE PRISONER and the various legislators, Attorney Generals, Politicians have abrogated their mandate of pursing the holistic aspiration of each of their jurisdictional Social Contract. Likewise our Activist and Advocates who speak for Prisoners and the obligations of lawful conditions of confinement haven't been throwing it in the faces of the Prison Official that they have no Social Contractual standing to dehumanize the prisoner in the name of the People notwithstanding whatever decrepit and laughable sophistry they along with their allies dredge up as basis. Instead what we experience is the prison official behaving extra-judicially in that professionally ad hoc manner, above the law and all aspects of Society and the Social Contract turning a feckless and craven blind eye to it as if there isnt the recognition that the Prison Official actions are undermining and destroying the very terms of the Social Contract and its Due Process of Law.

DEHUMANIZATION OF THE VIRGINIA PRISONER II By William Thorpe

credit kgtoh

It isn't that the dehumanization of the Prisoner and specifically for this work, the Virginia prisoner, is the exception on the contrary it is the rule and what focusing on the dehumanization of the Prisoner allows us, is an entry point into the fact that our National Social Contract itself is one continuum, an unresolved one at that of, Dehumanization. Notwithstanding the fact that, the Declaration of Independence and Constitution of The United States, purport the affirmation of Human Life and Being, its work then begins its negation and deconstruction. In the sense that, it begun to qualify and conditionalize the nature of Social Contract terms or in other words to paraphrase Napoleon of George Orwell's Animal Farm, some animals are more equal or better than others. My concerns are not in redeeming those initial and progenitive antagonisms and hypocrisies, that is work of and for the Madisonian "more perfect union", what I labor at is in defining, the fraud perpetrated on the People of Virginia by the Virginia prison official borne on the intellectual-liberalism of the Dehumanization of the Virginia prisoner. Fraud and its practice is one that is easy and clear forward to grasp and understand and BLACK'S LAW DICTIONARY 2d EDITION defines, Fraud as 1.A knowing misrepresentation of the truth or concealment of a material fact to induce another to act to his or her detriment. And if our Virginia politicians and legislators, whom "You the People", have tasked with the privilege of ensuring that the Virginia prison official administered and executed their duties under law were not in their own light fraudulent and would exercise their oversight authority and obligations," You the People" could then determine whether you accept the dehumanization of your imprisoned sons, daughters, fathers, mothers, wives, husbands, loved ones and friends as appropriate conditions of confinement and circumstances of imprisonment. Which in turn would then mean that "You the People", wouldn't have any issues with and problems, when you are then subjected to Dehumanization by Virginia's Government, which by the way already happens. Insidiousness, which according to the current professional behavior of the Virginia prison official is a primary requirement to employment, corrodes at and in effect sabotages the very Compact nature, state and terms of the Peoples Commonwealth because it is a dynamic of fraud, concealing from the People of Virginia who are detrimentally impacted by its malfeasant machinations the necessary and formal understanding of what constitutes the professional behavior of the Virginia prison official. Yes we are sporadically given that perfunctory media accounts of Virginia prison official malbehavior and the horrific deed, but it is presented with that perfidious qualifier, such and such "convicted felon", then the claim that Virginia prison officials committed such and such, again conditionalizing the official misdeed on the prison official's terms as opposed to the terms of the act or deed. In other words despite the purported democratization of the rule of law and process, yet true to the "Animal Farm" dynamic and in contradiction of John Adams instruction, that and I paraphrase, we are a nation of laws and not men, the Virginia prison official's actions and misdeeds are presented to the People of Virginia, not as violations of law, but acts of men in uniform. Uniforms, which Bob Marley presciently in his seminal song, Burnin' And Lootin' gave us in verse as, "Uniforms of Brutality ".The point: if imprisonment is a data point in the process and administration of law and if law is theoretically the guardian of humanness, then imprisonment cannot dehumanize.

THE DEHUMANIZATION OF THE VIRGINIA PRISONER IS ALSO AN ATTACK ON THE NON-IMPRISONED VIRGINIA PEOPLE By William Thorpe



I BEGIN: When there isn't any way and guide forward, when despite, self-delusional myths of existence, collective narcissism and its antagonistic pathology on the body politic, the default reaction, and this holds true across the breadth and depth of our Human Condition, is to dehumanize, to see something other in that other human, whose existence is what defacto defines the integrity of self-existence. What concerns me, because I'm a prisoner under Virginia's jurisdiction, is the unoriginal logic of dehumanization plyed by the Commonwealth of Virginia in its detention schemes. What also concerns me is how The Virginian, or People of Virginia ignore and are seemingly oblivious to the fact that if they are unseen, unheard and dismissed by each other in all forms and levels of interaction, it firstly is a result of their winking and nodding to the dehumanization of the Virginia prisoner. Let me qualify what in saying, nothing I'm saying is new, if there is any novelty to this work, its that of being a reminder, that attention to and is required of unforeseen consequences, when due to the myriad obligations and distractions of social interactions, relations and intersections we become that adage which our Vietnamese brothers and sisters have given us, "be mindful that when you go to slay the dragon you don't become it" or in this context accepting the dehumanization of humans who are imprisoned is in turn self-dehumanizing. Society i.e. the Commonwealth of Virginia are not built or constructed on the distortion of short sightedness, which is the operative of a type of world view, which the Virginia prison official and their allies are perennially afflicted with. Short sightedness whether in the Policy realm of Government and governance or in the world view of the individual Virginian, is always self-contradictory, because the assumption is its a pursuit of self-interest, which idealistically it is, but its also at the expense of that other adage, "the devil is in the details ". So for example the Virginia prison official wants to be respected, acknowledged and recognized as first and foremost, a Professional, secondly, a full and all around developed Human and citizen of Virginia and all of this materialized upon the job of a Prison Official. However, the reality is the Virginia prison official isn't respected, acknowledged or recognized by the People of Virginia save for allies who are also just as reviled, because what the People of Virginia recognize in the prison official is a corrupt entity who breaks and violates the law in the treatment of prisoners under their care and authority. It isn't that the People of Virginia are at odds with accountability and its various forms according to their social contract, which includes imprisonment, but they expect it is done under law and the uncompromising recognition of humanness. Here is an anecdote that was reported by one of the media in Newport News, Virginia, the occasion was how the Commonwealth of Virginia in the form of its Koncentration Kamp Red Onion State Prison informed a Mother of the death of her just turned 21 imprisoned son, who allegedly committed suicide, after the Mother had repeatedly called the prison, with none of the officials with the authority responding to her, finally a Nurse dismissed the death.

IMAGINE A JOB WHERE YOU'RE NEVER WRONG, NOR MAKE MISTAKES: WELCOME TO THE VIRGINIA PRISON OFFICIAL AND THE EMBODIMENT OF CORRUPTION By William Thorpe

I BEGIN: Even in War, actual kinetic existence, Soldiers tasked with the effort and its work admit to errors, mistakes, miscalculations, idealistic formulations, all expressions and forms of being wrong or mistakes. In other words their work of War is intrinsically and inherently "honest", due to the unforgiving nature of it, meaning if Officers of War allow and permit themselves to get caught up in suppositions and its idealistic superficiality, not only will their lives be lost but of those whom they hold dear and all that consisted and constructed the historicity of their existence. Notwithstanding this inherent "honesty" of War, there are always those corrupt Officers of War, regardless of reason who betray its requisite homage and history is replete with their folly. I have said all of this to get to this, we are told the Commonwealth of Virginia's Justice Infrastructure is one in Battle Orders in a "War on crime" and the Virginia Prison Official is a fundamental and primary component and element in its practice, as such the People of Virginia have said, their highest expression of "value" as understood by the allocation of the lion's share of the Commonwealth's productivity is towards the funding of The Virginia Department of Corrections and its Prisons. Now this work is not a polemic against the Virginia Prison Official, or The Virginia Department of Corrections or even the fact that the people of Virginia value above every thing else, even the Education of our children and accessibility to real medical and health care for all Virginians, its prison system and the static economy, it stands on. But what this work focuses on is the fraud and antagonistic relationship the Virginia Prison Official holds and maintains with the actual terms and basis of Virginia's Social Contract, because of the one and simple fact: the Virginia Prison Official is incapable of admitting failings and instead consistently does that most abject base of human behavior, which is "blaming", whether its the Virginia prisoner supposedly in the prison official's care, despite the fact the prison official claims to be waging war on the prisoner, or political opponents of its allies and supporters. In other words the Virginia Prison official has been able to subvert and turn on its head a standard of measure all other Virginians are subjected to, which is the accountability of admitting a failing or a mistake and this subversion exist and is only possible because the People of Virginia regardless of reason are complicit in its existence. We would think that defacto scrutiny of the Virginia Prison official activities would flow accordingly due to the fact the work of the Virginia Prison official of all the other myriad examples is the most speculative, yet true to form is the least scrutinized because of the fact it is inherently corrupt. What I mean by its corrupt inherency, is this, if all human activity and behavior has an economic determinant defined by its valuation, then guarding prisoners, which defines the Virginia Prison official isn't exempt and as a matter of fact is even more beholden to and subject to its dynamic. So the Virginia Prison official will only do that which will ensure their existence and will support the type of politics that cater to them, thereby establishing a symbiotic existence and relationship with it. We see this, we see Virginia Republicans supporting to a fault any and all cockamamie stunts and endeavors played by the prison official.

WE HAVE TO ASK THE RIGHT QUESTIONS TO HOLD THE VIRGINIA PRISON OFFICIAL AND THEIR POLITICAL ALLIES ACCOUNTABLE By William Thorpe

I BEGIN: IF the Justice Infrastructure is an expression of a type of Politics, which it is then there isn't anything to debate that it is biased. What I mean by bias, is this, let's recall what one of our ancients in the American context, John Adams instructed. and I paraphrase, that our Nation was one of Laws and not men. Which is to say, in furtherance and the advancement of James Madison's Constitutional anticipation of a "more perfect union", there had to be accountability, which law aspires, or in otherwords because of the clear recognition that the foundation of Society, is our humanness or humanity, which the Great Schizophrenic Thomas Jefferson recognized in the declaration of Independence and I paraphrase that Americans in rebellion against the British King George III, were presenting the reasons for the rebellion to the witness of the Peoples of the world as justification. Or practically seeking humanities general understanding of the right to respond to unjust and intolerable conditions under the without qualifications of Natural law, despite our intrinsic dictatorial nature, presumptions and bias, which Adams recognized with his instruction are at odds with society's obligations and accountability. Needless I add despite the truth of, Adams, Madison and Jefferson's understandings and asserted polemics, the consequences of their hypocrisies, due to their inabilities and unwillingness to extend that same speech onto relations with Black People is why I'm having to do this work in the context of Virginia's Justice Infrastructure and the Prison Official, in 2025. So the question is clear and simple, despite the fact we are ourselves due to Society and in this case Virginia Society, we are naturally biased and when we are then given the privilege of embodying the State as functionaries and as it relates to this work, the Virginia Prison Official, society cannot and theoretically it doesn't simply trust that its members who now have on uniforms will do the appropriate thing. Society anticipates the natural human bias, by having laws and process which society is in turn subordinated to. However humans embodying the State, in this case the Virginia prison official will still figure out ways to manipulate their bias, into the execution of their professional duties which in effect undermines and perverts the very purpose of the law and process. The only way such bias can be remedied is in the ability to question. But there is another aspect to this, which is even though the construction and structuring of society is law and its process upon the acknowledgement of accountability, meaning the process of questioning, there is a fly in the questioning ointment and its characterized as, "Standing", meaning to hold those embodying the State as in the Virginia prison official accountable, requirements of "Standing" must be met and this "standing" aspect has a more arcane origin, which quite frankly is at odds with the recognition of a human being, now and as it was then. I want to make this point, we have allowed, tolerated and permitted imprisonment practices that make a mockery of our genus as HOMOSAPIENS, because what Virginia's imprisonment practices say isn't just the fact The Commonwealth cannot wash its hands off savagery and barbarism, but the nature of imprisonment is simply unable to answer to the fundamental question of, " Why", in otherwords because of the fact the simple," why" isn't asked the Virginia Department of Corrections and its Prison Official haven't had to justify practices that meet the generalized billing of savagery and barbarism.

WHEN THE CATS' AWAY By William Thorpe


The completion of the adage is.....THE MICE WILL PLAY and the CAT, is the People of Virginia and of course the MICE are the Virginia Department of Corrections. Why is this adage apt, because it concisely fits the behavior of the Virginia Prison Official. The People of Virginia regardless of reasons and assumptions have neglected their responsibilities, which as it applys to this work, is paying attention to and understanding what is being done in their name by the Virginia Department of Corrections and its prison official. First of all let's all be clear on this the Virginia Prisoner is not an enemy combatant, or member of an opposing army nor an insurgent, despite the fatuous verbiage of "war on crime" deployed and exploited by political shortsightedness. The Virginia prisoner is simply a human being, a Virginia citizen processed under Virginia's Justice and Legal infrastructure and imprisoned. In other words just as The Supreme Court of The United States, deployed the formulation, "significant and atypical hardship" as due process distinction in prison conditions, Constitutional DUE PROCESS adjudication, every single Virginian can excpect to experience imprisonment under Virginia's Justice Infrastructure not as an extraordinary occurrence but as part of, again under The Nations highest Court jurisprudence, the ordinary incidents of life. So in other words if any Virginian can experience Virginia's imprisonment scheme then, the mere pedestrian fact of imprisonment doesn't then cause and assume diametric transformation of citizen into an enemy combatant, which currently is the conventional wisdom applied viz, imprisonment in Virginia. Whether or not the Virginia prison official is a corrupt and malfeasant embodiment is an argument laid out in the various lawsuits, claims, allegations efforts by Virginia prisoners petitioning government. What this work is concerned with is the point and position that, the Commonwealth of Virginia is a lawless construct without The People understanding and filling their role as The People, final arbiter of all things Human Condition, Social Contract and Society. There's nothing complicated and disingenuous about the recognition that imprisonment in Virginia wasn't originally and historically constructed in pursuit of "Justice", however we are where we are with it and it cannot have one foot in antebellum Plantationesque presumptions and its intellectual-liberalism, while the other is playing footsie in modernity, the democratization of the rule of law and in communion and association with the civilizing aspirations of Human progress. Imprisonment in Virginia is the effect of imposition of sentence for a set period and within that set period are all sorts of mechanisms acknowledging and recognizing that the imprisonment could have been a travesty of justice for any number of reasons, because there is nothing that's infallible. The Virginia prison official is one tasked with operating under law and not above it, yet due to the Rip Van Winkle aspect of The Virginia People's attention, the Virginia prison official has relatively sneered, smirked and become pretentious in observing those Social Contract privileges of relationships with The People of Virginia.

IN STRENGTH SISTAH ASSATA By William Thorpe

 

Pictures are taken from the internet and are used for illustrative purposes only
Sistah Assata Shakur passed today, 9/25/25 in Cuba. She had been living in Cuba, granted asylum, due to criminal charges from The United States. On accusations of criminal violations, what I say and what the only relevant arbiter of our human deeds, HISTORY says is this: Whatever Sistah Assata Shakur's (also formerly known under the enslaved name, Joanne Chesimard) crimes were, it wasn't any greater than the collective individual crimes and criminality that built and constructed these United States and yes the two faced hypocrisy of our Social Contract can accuse and charge her with criminal violations, causing her to flee to Cuba, just as Anglo-Saxons fled to these Native American lands of North America, under exact circumstances and conditions as Assatas'. The only indictment and charge to be examined is that of our human conditional relations, which her world view and Politics focused and breathed on, that it causes grief to which we idealistically ascribe to "sin", as some sort of generic surrogacy. Sistah Assata embodies the universalities of Assatas whose names echo in odes, BAYETE SISTAH ASSATA, AVE !!!

THESE ONGOING HUNGER STRIKES AT KONCENTRATION KAMPS RED ONION AND WALLENS RIDGE STATE PRISONS ARE QUESTIONS WE ALREADY HAVE ANSWERS TO, BUT OUR POLITICAL LEADERS, OVER LORDS OF THE VIRGINIA PRISON OFFICIAL ARE ABJECTLY VENAL TO EXACT OVERSIGHT By William Thorpe

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

Recently Virginia Prisoners confined at KONCENTRATION KAMPS Red Onion and Wallens Ridge State Prisons have made it known to family members and Prison Reform Advocates that, there is an ongoing hunger strike as desperate speech protesting their conditions of imprisonment and treatment at the hands of and the impermissible and lawless behavior of prison officials. So in direct reaction, the Virginia prison official at both KONCENTRATION KAMPS in question responded with another illegal and lawless act, that of cutting off prisoner communication with family, friends and loved ones. In other words The Virginia Department of Corrections responded as all garden variety tyrants do when confronted with protest, it played the incommunicado card, which is repression and repression, which has been abundantly made clear to humanity, that no matter how intense and extreme the repression, it never dissuades, nor stifles protest, because those responsible for the circumstances necessitating protest are ignoring and dismissing the existence of those circumstances. The Virginia Department of Corrections and its Prison Official are not unfamiliar with prisoner protest, some legitimate and valid and others distractive. But the fact of the matter is the prison official has the necessary cognition to distinguish when protest is legitimate and when it isn't, because the Virginia Department of Corrections already has process for protest, which are all the forms of petitioning Government for redress and forms of protest like hunger strikes only occur when those administrative processes respond corruptly by all of the forms of corruption known and perfected by the prison official, for starters dismissing the issues. However there is another character to issues at both KONCENTRATION KAMPS in question. So we primarily have a majority Rural White Prison Official work force doing the work of administering and governing the imprisonment of a predominantly Urban Black and Brown prisoner population and it isn't the fact that the prison officials are White, but the "type" of White, because the prison official at both KONCENTRATION KAMPS in question have an irrational and visceral animus for Urban culture, which is the foundational animator of Prisoners in their care. The Virginia Department of Corrections cannot under the guise of maintaining a prison insult, disrespect, castigate and impugn the entire historicity of the Urbanized Human life, just because members of Urban Society and Culture are imprisoned. Convictions of crimes isn't just a Urban phenomenon, the problem though is a type of Virginia Politics for its own Machiavellian machinations is unwilling to see crime without "othering" it, which then gives permission to the Rural White prison official to for no other reason than, one is imprisoned, deny the humanness of the prisoner, which in turn creates those circumstances of a hunger strike as protest.
