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.
