YES IT'S HIGH TIME THE VIRGINIA DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS HAD A FEMALE DIRECTOR AND GOV-ELECT ABIGAIL SPANBERGER CAN CONTINUE MAKING HISTORY BY GIVING US ONE By William Thorpe

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
