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.
