Virginia Prisons Accountability Committee (vapac) had this posted on its X account......#VADOC hasn't had a Woman Director, there are enough capable Virginia #dems #women with executive, plenary experience, capable of steering the agency out of the mess Chadwick Dotson and his #gop allies have created. We call on @abigailspanberger to give us one........QUITE frankly Governor-Elect Abigail Spanberger doesn't need any justification save that of making history by and with the appointment of a Woman to head Virginia's largest agency, The Virginia Department of Corrections, but here is an added spice and qualifier, she'll break up the "good ole boys club" hegemony, by a type of Virginia demographic that has eternally and infernally had the agency in its sleeper choke hold. Besides the sprinkling of non-white men and women here and there among the ranks of the agency, the face of The Virginia Department of Corrections has been, White and male. But this current "Face" under the Directorate of Chadwick Dotson and his henchmen have shown themselves to be nothing less than, piners longing for the embodiment and resurrection of Stephen Crane's, RED BADGE OF COURAGE, as if its accompanying perdition isn't sentinel like, a reminder in Battlefields across the Commonwealth. Because how else are we to understand their governing and administrative tactics, when what we see and experience them doing is pulling off dusty antebellum shelves, Plantation operating manuals, reapplying their savage and barbaric ideas, with, for starters shipping Virginia prisoners to other state prison systems just as Virginia enslavers would ship the enslaved to plantations in other enslaving States. The deployment of vicious attack and ill trained dogs on a majority Black prisoner population, as if Chadwick Dotson isn't old enough to recognize the epigenetic harm of Virginia's State Organized Violence once again using dogs against Black People. Then secondly, when was the last time our sensibilities were assaulted with the desperate speech of immolation and not any type of immolation but, self-immolation? Wasn't it with Buddhist monks, protesting the Vietnam War?, but in 2024 the executed prison policies of Chadwick Dotson under the out going Republican Governor Glenn Youngkin did just that. We were reminded by State, National and International News coverage that Virginia Prisoners were reduced to self-immolation as desperate speech of protest and it wasn't and isn't for lack of accessing Virginia Courts, because Virginia Federal and State Court archives are full of claims against the Virginia Prison Official of grotesque and unimaginable professional behavior. Thirdly, the idea that the imprisoned Virginian is an insurgent and enemy combatant evidenced as a legitimate prison policy in the name of The People of Virginia at Koncentration Kamps Red Onion, Wallens Ridge and Sussex I State Prisons by Chadwick Dotson and co. leaves anyone speechless considering it's effrontery when paired with the insult that the Virginia prisoner is being prepared the for re-entry into Society, the least description we can give it, is it's fraud, crass, petty fraud is being perpetrated on The People of The Commonwealth by the Virginia Prison

I BEGIN: Blacks Law defines Public Safety, thus, "The welfare and protection of the general public, usu. expressed as a governmental responsibility....." The U.S. Constitution characterizes it at ARTICLE I SECTION 8 "The Congress shall have Power to.......provide for the common Defence and general Welfare of the United States......" and ever since, schemers and underminers of its aspirations and Natural Law basis have deployed their treasure and energies at perverting its fundamental Natural Law underpinnings. Then Abigail Spanberger in her 2025 successful and historic work to become Governor of The Commonwealth of Virginia course corrected its perversion with her "pragmatism over partisanship" lattice. I'm a prisoner under the Commonwealth's jurisdiction and naturally my focus is on how "public safety" has been euphemistically perverted as consequence by the Virginia Prison Official and their Virginia Republican ally to engineer impunity and above-the-lawism in the governance and administration of The Virginia Department of Corrections and its Prisons, which is shown and declared by their systemic practice of dehumanization and the expression and exercise of their sadistic proclivities. Forever the Virginia prison official has cloaked and concealed crass sadism, savagery and barbarism as work in pursuit of public safety for the Commonwealth and its People which by the way ironically includes the Virginia Prisoner who is at once object and subject of the resulting state organized violence and its public safety perversion. The imposition of imprisonment according to Virginia law has nothing to do with the ad hoc and extra-judicial creation, that we find as the Virginia prisoner, a subsequent cavalier transformation of the imprisoned Virginian into an insurgent and enemy combatant by the perversion of what is public safety by the Virginia prison official and their Virginia Republican political allies, accomplices in pursuit of distinct self-interest, under the psychosis of an idealistic and indefensible war, but with desperate and devastating consequences on the Virginia prisoner and in extension the People of The Commonwealth whom weirdly in whose name the damage is done. Yes Governor-Elect Abigail Spanberger executed a historic and successful campaign, under the banner of "pragmatism over partisanship", which alone should shake the People of Virginia out of the somnambulistic effects of and to acknowledging the depths of the perversion of what is public safety, we have been dragged down and reduced to, that something as commonsense as pragmatism over partisanship should be a breath of fresh air and motive-force guide, burnishing the terms of the Social-Contract. Now reforming the professional behavior of the Virginia prison official, which in practice means accountability to the People of Virginia, being not beyond reproach and accepting that their existence is at the privilege and behest of the People, stands unequivocally on the Social Contract affirming terms of the encompassing fact of Public Safety.
