VIRGINIA'S ADMINISTRATIVE PROCESS ACT, IS THE OVERLOOKED NEMESIS OF HOLDING THE VIRGINIA PRISON OFFICIAL ACCOUNTABLE AND PRISON REFORM By William Thorpe

Holding human actions and behavior to account and the accountability-function is always ever present in human society and the Social Contract, however the distinction of its realization, is whether its process is relatively accepted or it is fraught with impediments and a everyday destabilizing struggle. In otherwords are the daily relations and Social Contract interactions a continuum of braining each other, in pursuit of what is fair and just, an understanding that we exist not in fear of the other, but on the fact that there is process of redress or the recognition, that if human life, is to be unconditionally valued, then, just as it is accepted that, the human capacity for "love" and its expression is taken on its face, without qualifications, then the acceptance of the innateness or inalienability of ones or the human idea of fairness, harm and injustice isn't dependent on some one else's, notions regardless of ability to right the wrong, the fact that a wrong has been done isn't debatable. But as soon as the dehumanization of the human being, becomes a fact, as we see and observe in the circumstance and condition of imprisonment experienced by the Virginia prisoner, we then see it structured and constructed as a denial of the prisoner's inalienable and innate idea of ownership of what is fair, harm and what is unjust by the type and sort of impediments and obstacles placed in the path of seeking redress or realizing the accountability-function. At this juncture I have to flesh this out, We, meaning the human condition, have been told that as a socio-person we exist in "freedom" as a relative and approximate condition as explanation of our experienced behavior of the Social Contract, its terms and relations, but as all things political-economy, which is the primary and foremost function of the Social Contract, it is euphemism and deceptive, because, what the Social Contract actually does is, it dehumanizes. The terms the Virginia person has with the personhood of itself as the Commonwealth of Virginia, is dialectically sovereign and subject at the same time, which because of such diametrically opposing relationship terms, from sovereign to subject, it then has a dehumanizing character and nature, because that historical developmental process of the Social Contract, hasn't truly permitted and allowed a confronting with itself, in order to resolve that antagonistic existence of dehumanization, which we see clearly revealed in the circumstance and condition of the Virginia prisoner. Because when the human being is denied of that inalienable capacity of that innate idea of fairness and injustice, because of the imposition of obstacles and impediments, in the path of redress as the Virginia prisoner is particularly subjected to, then the consequence and result is dehumanization. Notwithstanding the Constitutions of Virginia and of The United States assertions, of the people's right to petition government and seek redress, it is conditional. So for example Virginia's Administrative Process Act, specifically prohibits, it excludes prisoners from it and the Administrative Process is a fundamental function of Virginia's Government and even as the Virginia prisoner is comprehensively a subject of government, what then is being said by the prohibition on the prisoner's ability to access it, regardless of logic and reason?. The consequence of this prohibition is de jure impunity of the professional behavior of the prison official in all aspects of treatment of the Virginia prisoner and without confronting the impunity causing effects of the Administrative Process Act, the work of reform is a wink and nod

OUR VIRGINIA ORGANIZED LABOR GROUPS AND "UNIFORMS OF BRUTALITY" III By William Thorpe

I started this focus on Labor Groups, which this is a third installment, by quoting Bob Marley's incisive lyric, "Uniforms of Brutality" and its capture, (which I'm unsure whether, Bob himself recognized it as that intrinsic dialectic of "work" as the purest definition of the "liberty" or freedom euphemism, which his "uniforms of brutality" lyric illustrated) as that embodiment of it's aversive role and purpose of cowering or keeping Labor insubordination to the status quo assertions of Virginia's Social Contract with prison and the imprisonment circumstance. As we labor towards the unconditional reform of Virginia's imprisonment circumstance on the accountability-function of government and it's final return to the People of Virginia as the subordination of the Virginia prison official to their will, meaning exacting accountability, a lot of insight and actual understandings of everything about Virginia's social contract, that has been cloaked by that suppositionary and colloquial ignorance of, "taken for granted "by the people, will inevitably come into focus despite the fact that those who benefited from its "business as usual", knew perfectly well that its existing terms and culture, meaning everything was due to their machinations and their faith in the ignorance of " We The People".If the only function and purpose of the Human Being and the Human Condition respectively is "Work", then a value, with two characters will naturally come into existence, which is, the "value" of management or maintenance and direction, as it is expressed in the two characters of control and its subjects or objective, or who is in control and who is being controlled and when this is appropriated at the expense of the human conditional climb towards that mastery of it's all around realization or progress, it then transforms into that antagonism of exploitation or that condition of instead of pursing the "perfection of the unity of the people", war is instead waged on them, under the supposition that, the fundamental purpose of "work" as means of creating, supporting and defending the conditions and circumstances of Human Life, must exist as war between them. In other words the progressive dynamic of competition or that process of refining quality, is perverted into, that cutting of the nose to spite the face, War. This perversion is permitted because of and by the simple fact of "existence by acceptance", because Labor as it stands in its organized state, which in itself isn't commentary on the organizing motive and factor, but a critique of maturity, based on it's self-realization and the unequivocal understanding, that the organized fact in itself isn't a simple imposition but a natural fact of purpose or that synthesis of competition for itself transforming into the collaboration of self-interest. Or if The Human or as it concerns this work the People of Virginia, exist to work who then benefits? So, what we see is when this question isn't correctly answered, regardless of reason, the people are firstly warred on and here is the crux, by themselves. Yes there is that superficial recognition that it is foisted, a necessary mechanism of inserting that status quo self-serving narrative of "work" along with its inoculation against any counter exposé for the reason it's existence on the people is a mechanism of division. What this truly means then is the acceptance of impunity and that toxic lack of accountability, which we see as Labor its, rank and file arrayed in those "uniforms of brutality", diametrically in opposition with itself.

OUR LABOR GROUPS ARE RELATIVELY ABSENT FROM THE WORK OF PRISON REFORM IN VIRGINIA II By William Thorpe

There is a reason why human behavior that unambiguously and unequivocally harms, besides the assigned distinction and categorization by Law, is, notwithstanding political exploitation by either being underscored or diminished and minimized, not comprehensively recognized as such, in itself. Which firstly tells us that whatever stance taken by and asserted by the justice application has nothing to do with the repair of Harm and it's commensurate effect and impact but instead, secondly has a more biased purpose, which then reveals and shows that the purpose or utility is in opposition. Now what I'll show with relative analysis in this work, is what I mean by, that biased purpose or utility is in opposition, with that opposition materializing into and manifesting as Labor and its organized groups, to be specific Labor is the target and why it is relatively absent from the work of prison reform and the specificity of this work, Virginia. I BEGIN: I've been breathing on and giving air to the analysis that prison and the imprisonment circumstance is all about being that proverbial stick to compel, "work", into an organized, in itself, entity, Labor, existing in a organized manner for another logic of interest, that even if it's own particularized interest intersects, with that "other" it is nominal and in order for that "other" to maintain that nominalism as its optimal maintenance condition, which is consequently punitive, the only method and technique our primitive Social Contract as dominated by that "other" or a specific interest bias has realized and developed is, "aversion", which is what prison and the imprisonment circumstance is. In otherwords our primitive Social Contract and its logic recognizes, that, that in itself freedom of action is only a for itself euphemism of liberty as work and its existence to produce for and on its status quo terms. In otherwords social contract recognized and legitimate person hood, is simply that of having the permission as freedom and its euphemistic liberty of working within it and for it. I won't waste the readers time defending this basic understanding, save to state that, the imprisonment circumstance as it is currently formulated didn't emerge and appear, till the abolishment of chattel slavery and its replacement with de jure Nationalization of slavery as criminal sanction under the 13th amendment to the Constitution of The United States. In otherwords as soon as work and its organized labor wasn't de jure compulsory, the imprisonment circumstance and its evolution as we experience it along with its opportunistic rationalization appeared as that metaphoric "coat of many colors". Our ancients have instructed, and I clarify it with, the Human Condition and its narrative is simply and primarily that of "work", which for analytic purpose, within the context of the Social Contract and its political-economy dynamic is Labor and its Organized motive. Just as the circle refuses to be squared, so is objective truth akin to Silver outside of its function definitive in existence for itself. Which was the relative relationship the human condition had with and understood work as, prior to the imposition of the exploitive and appropriating construct of its organized value, which prison and the imprisonment circumstance stands as that overseer with whip. Nothing I'm saying is to imply or infer, my position is permissive of asocial and harmful behaviour at the expensive of accountability. My position is, prison and the imprisonment scheme is a fact of Virginia's Social Contract, under law, its reform then is primarily that practicality of holding the Virginia prison official accountable and if the entire imprisonment scheme exists to cower labor, then Labor must speak.

TWO ASPECTS OF VIRGINIA PRISON REFORM By William Thorpe

Pictures are taken from the internet and are used for illustrative purposes only
First of all, this is the orienting vantage of how we stand in relationship to Virginia Prison Reform: IT ISN'T A BOON OR DISPENSATION. I BEGIN: The Virginia Prison and its imprisonment condition stands as the most speculative and suppositionary practice ever assumed by its Social Contract, consequently it contains all of the Commonwealth's shortcomings, hypocrisies and antagonisms because its work is that of dehumanization, plain and simple which ensuingly corrupts according to relative proximity or it accentuates its inherence. The work of our analysis and its animation of reforming the Virginia prison circumstance as it holds the Virginia prison official accountable along with Virginia's Government accountability-function, is to refute and repudiate its ossified and idealistic narrative regardless of logic. This first aspect of refuting and repudiating its ossified and idealistic narrative regardless of logic, assumes a number of forms, with the primary as that of getting laws passed under the notion that the fundamental dehumanization of the Virginia prisoner is that of jurisprudence and in the general sense due to the activity of Virginia's Social Contract, is. However the relative significance of jurisprudence as a counter point to the impunity of the dehumanization of the Virginia prisoner, lies with, the true, pure and quintessential nature of the accountability-function, which simply is the unfettered and truly liberated ability to hold government and its police powers, which the Virginia prison official is a function and operative to account or to compel that recognition of subordination to that "Of, By and For the people", which the Virginia Constitution asserts its authority from, with its declarations, starting with. ARTICLE 1. BILL OF RIGHTS----A DECLARATION OF RIGHTS MADE BY THE GOOD PEOPLE OF VIRGINIA IN THE EXERCISE OF THEIR SOVEREIGN POWERS,WHICH RIGHTS DO PERTAIN TO THEM AND THEIR POSTERITY, AS THE BASIS AND FOUNDATION OF GOVERNMENT [then it continues with] SEC.1 THAT ALL MEN ARE BY NATURE EQUALLY FREE AND INDEPENDENT AND HAVE CERTAIN INHERENT RIGHTS.......[in the spirit of JEAN ROUSSEAU and the theoretical kindred of THE FRENCH REVOLUTION OF 1789 and its," MAN IS BORN FREE BUT EVERYWHERE I LOOK HE'S IN CHAINS"]. As such the existence of prison official impunity and its presumptions of above-the-lawism simply reveals the people's impotence and inability regardless of reason to subordinate their government's activities embodied by the Virginia prison official to their will and its accountability-function. This then matter of factly exposes that the character of Virginia's prison reform has a cognitive dissonance with the general and specific or particular order of which is primary and secondary, or which comes first. Meaning should we pursue enactment of laws at the expense of the accountability-function or means of their actual application as intended or anticipated or should we attain a actual means of holding the Virginia prison official accountable. An example of this is Virginia prison reform activism achieved a recent law at Virginia Code 53.1-39. 2, A 4 hour out of cell activity for the Virginia prisoner held in solitary confinement (under the euphemism, Restrictive or Restorative Housing) Va. Code 53.1-39 (1A), then the Virginia prison official at its Koncentration Kamp Red Onion State Prison and its other Charnel Kamps, promptly ignored it and kept on doing what they do, which is violate. Here is the rub, not only has the Virginia prison official, violated the law but they have exploited it as defense in lawsuits by claiming that its existence implies solitary is like General Population.

I have misgivings with recommending this below work as a comprehensive defense of my analysis on the Second aspect of prison reform in Virginia, on the simple fact it was produced at the present day, utterly craven Columbia University of New York. Yes, just as history saluted Columbia's vanguard heroics as being correct during the 1960's, so is its betrayals and complicities of 2025, by its administrative elements, indicted as that same ole same ole fleeing from the field, an infamous illustration of life imitating art, imagery of the seminal lyrics, "PICTURE ME BEING SCARED OF A N***A THAT BREATHES THE SAME AIR AS ME" by NOTORIOUS B.I.G. Nonetheless the work which is by LAURA FEELY, makes the point and case. The title of her work is DEFINING THE PUBLIC:ADMINISTRATIVE RULEMAKING REQUIREMENT IN THE CARCERAL CONTEXCT---54 COLUM. HUMAN RIGHTS L.REV. 368.The fact that our human condition is replete with contradictions and its Social Contract expression shimmers with hypocrisies isn't the exception but the rule and it takes the work of relentless analysis and implacable exposure to assert that yes we see that the "Emperor", no matter how strident the denials by those historical stooge and henchmen functionaries," has no clothes".In others words, the center of our antagonisms isn't holding and it isn't supposed to, which clearly defines that germane dynamic of the accountability-function of prison reform in Virginia. As I pointed out in the early part of this work, Virginia's prison reform work has this cognitive dissonance, of that philosophical, chicken or egg, distraction and the navel gazing contextual distortion of order of action, that only renders the status quo work of prison reform in Virginia as idealistic. I noted Ms. LAURA FEELY'S comprehensive work, "DEFINING THE PUBLIC...", because she tackles what after all is said and done with, is the main, primary and only question of REFORM, period. So how does what Ms. Feely is laboring at speak to prison reform? It is the crux of the issue, independent of context, because if our ancestors stated the obvious which is "Rights" or interactions and relationships are "Inalienable", then impediments, which per virtue of having to state the obvious, implies that there are, impositions and if we are honestly working to attain that accountability-function of realized humanness, then, basis of such impositions are irrelevant and the only relevance, is that of it's consequence. I'll use Columbia University's recent cravenness as example, which is simply this: on what terms can cravenness offer defense?. As such analysis is to, as it is specific to prison reform in Virginia, speak to the dialectic, which is reform and how to hold the prison official accountable, as such, what analysis reveals is not the logic of the prison official's impunity, but the fact that it exist and therefore what is permitting and enabling its existence. This then brings us to the understanding and fact that the impunity itself, is a structural lattice of Virginia's Government and its police powers again, regardless and irrespective of reason or logic, the consequence is impunity and we cannot speak of the just realization of Virginia's Social Contract, when despite that Inalienable sovereignty of its existence, it has the dehumanizing motive as Virginia law, THE ADMINISTRATIVE PROCESS ACT and we encounter it as the professional behavior of the Virginia prison official.

PROTEST AS SPEECH FOR REFORM OF THE VIRGINIA PRISON CIRCUMSTANCE IS ALSO THIS By William Thorpe

Pictures are taken from the internet and are used for illustrative purposes only
I will get right into it, The Commonwealth of Virginia is much more than its Three Branches of Government. It is primarily the established institutions The People of Virginia have established as means and mechanisms of what it means to realize themselves and the cultivation of its optimal environment. Government is primarily a coercive force, and no one welcomes coercion into anything and its will of the people is a clear articulated anticipation, "Of By and For The People" despite the fact that, at this moment of our social contract's existence, its primitive nature, circumscribes the anticipation as a practical purpose. Institutions establishing means of satisfying the people's aspirations are first and foremost, Ideas and not just a building and yes reform of Virginia's prison circumstance and its prison official is an idea and its satisfaction requires a maturity of engagement. Meaning the reform idea has to engage Virginians in spaces of ideas used to the habit of exchange. So Virginians conscious of the fact, that the aspired self-realization and the requisite cultivation of its optimal environment, is first and foremost a reform of Virginia's prison circumstance by returning the Virginia prison official to its rightful place of subordination to the will of The People of Virginia under equality of Law, have to meet fellow compatriot Virginians in spaces and places that have customarily speculated on and played around theoretically with self-realization and the cultivation of its optimal environment, but haven't actually appreciated its articulated anticipation, "Of, By and For The People", and pursued its attainment. The obvious places are Religious spaces and Virginia Colleges and Universities. We call on allies, families and friends of the Virginia Prisoner to reach out to religious leaders in their communities, for the purpose of speaking to and getting the point across to congregants, that the imprisonment of a Virginian, which is according to law, isn't then an excuse to violate law by dehumanizing the Virginia prisoner. This same message should be carried to campuses, through invites from college and university groups who for the most part are waiting on such activism. I have described a couple of mobilizing activities that are literal civic duties, because when government and its coercion, which the Virginia prison official is a function are held accountable, by subordination to the will of the people, that aspired, perfection of the unity of The People, is closer to realization. The existence and tolerance of impunity by government is its antithesis and the most destructive occurrence in the Social Contract. Because it corrodes the people's good will, it corrupts the people's trust in potential and capabilities, it as a final exertion negates humanness and replaces it with cynicism. What I'm also showing is protest has infinite character, because its only purpose is to expose and resolve antagonisms within the social contract that dehumanize. So, to the accountability-function of the Peoples Will, give us that breath of fresh air, that you are its operative, change the narrative of the Virginia prison circumstance and hold the Virginia prison official accountable.

OUR NATIONAL LABOR GROUPS ARE RELATIVELY ABSENT FROM THE WORK OF PRISON REFORM, BUT IT'S GLARING WHEN VIRGINIA'S OWN ARE SILENT TO THE POINT OF ABSCONDING, IN LIGHT OF THE FACT FORMER RANK AND FILE ELEMENTS ARE NOW CLAD IN THE VIRGINIA DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS "UNIFORMS OF BRUTALITY" By William Thorpe

Pictures are taken from the internet and are used for illustrative purposes only
The organization of our Human Condition as Society on the mechanism of the Social Contract, has as its attention, the business of being human, or its encompassing character, Work. This supremacy appearance of Work begins its assertion also from the Religious Genesis 2:2 "And on the seventh day God finished his work that he had done, and he rested on the seventh day from all his work that he had done". Then its Human Condition directive begins at Genesis 3:23 "therefore the Lord God sent him out from the garden of Eden to work the ground from which he was taken". To its bookend emergence as legend on the entrance to the Nazi Death Camp Auschwitz," Work Shall Set You Free", where its definition was the administration of the extermination of the human being. The killing and extermination of the human being as Work, had of course preceded its Auschwitz practice, but to my knowledge Auschwitz, had the unique temerity to appropriate the aphorism "work shall set you free", as organizer. I've given this illustration of "work" to show it's primary basis, which then enables me to now say this, if "work" is that activity of life, but as it concerns this work, human life, then all organizing aspects and constructs of the human condition, as revealed as society on the dicta of the social contract are all and only about work. As such it has two diametric 1) that which permits its unimpeded motion and (2) and its maintenance. With its maintenance, we encounter the various forms and types of it's governance or a Government. For a quick definition of government, BLACK'S LAW defines as:The structure of principles and rules determining how a state or organization is regulated. 2, The sovereign power in a nation or state. So let's get a basic understanding of what is this, "sovereign power". Again BLACK'S LAW defines it as: Police Power, The inherent and plenary power of a sovereign to make all laws necessary and proper to preserve the public security, order, health, morality and justice. It is a fundamental power essential to government, and it cannot be surrendered by the legislature or irrevocably transferred away from government. I BEGIN: No one argues, not even the conceited addled among us that the only function of Life, more specifically, human life, isn't that of WORK, which I'll define as idea (conclusion, formulation) +intent (urge)= act, action (production, create).Work which is all and only about the business of being human, meaning securing sustenance and supporting circumstances for human life existence is the organizing focus and attention or purpose of our human condition. As such it brings out the best and worst in us. The worst, is what I want to focus on, because that "worst", is what impels and creates the need for reform, because fundamentally, that worst, has as its psychology, an antagonistic existence or a corrupting effect on relationship terms and values of the social contract which then seeps into the common daily interaction of social existence, which means its impact is squarely and directly on "work", which in society is organized as Labor. This work isn't to instruct Labor on course of action, but this work is clarity on the fact that, the essential purpose of the Police Powers and its state organized violence, existing also as the Justice Infrastructure, with prison as administrator, has a purely coercive and punitive function, that of ensuring Labor is subordinated.

JUST AS HISTORY DE-LEGITIMIZES THE SPEECH OF CONSERVATISM AND ITS REACTION BY INDICTING IT'S HYPOCRISY, SO SHOULD WE OPPOSE THE DEHUMANIZATION OF THE VIRGINIA PRISONER BY EXPOSING ITS SYSTEMIC MOTIVE By William Thorpe


Pictures are taken from the internet and are used for illustrative purposes only
It is a labor in itself to proclaim the sacrosanctity of Human Life, as the Constituted aspirations of the People of Virginia claims then dehumanize it as process of holding it accountable and responsible for asocial behavior and deeds. Our ancestors understood that to find that quintessential immortality in valor and honor, the foe or opposition had to be accorded with the equality and respect of the life force and motive, without qualifications and I emphasize without qualifications. Meaning regardless of the form and configuration of the life force, if it acquitted itself in that recognizable template of value, it received a narrative of worthiness. So not to become long winded about it, all humanity was subsequently accorded that generic worthiness, which contrary to theology and its idealistic hypocritical presumptions and contradictions, became that basis of the sacrosanctity of Life. But as some of our ancestors also recognized, we constantly violated the sacrosanctity of life as a natural course of our condition. A condition which some of our ancestors observed as result and cause of, the business of being human, which fundamentally is distilled as the pursuit of life sustaining and supporting conditions and those optimal necessary circumstances. So what confronts, the Virginian who aspires to the wholesomeness of their existence, is simply this: their existence and its basic claim is dependent on its inexorable externalization. In other words a non-imprisoned Virginian doesn't have to, as I've stated in other works, give a flip about the imprisoned Virginian, but as long the imprisoned Virginian is being dehumanized, its ahumanistic process, as done by the Virginia prison official is also spilling over into and assuming a devaluation of that declared Constituted will of the People of Virginia of the sacrosanctity of life. Dehumanization of human life as formulation of Virginia's historicity, is well documented in Virginia's antecedent laws in defense and application of its political-economy, which was the chattel enslavement of black People. It then spilled over into its imprisonment scheme, in a continued pursuit and maintenance of, its chattel enslavement political-economy which had been abridged by the Civil War, as a mechanism of a justice infrastructure. But just as everything primary to the human condition, it had and still has nothing to do with any idealistic pursuits of repairing any harm borne by social beings, who in most cases were and are not even recognized as having personhood, under a pacification gambit as "justice". The political reforms that ensuingly gave us imprisonment in its current form, despite applying and exploiting the verbiage and language of perfecting the people's will, is instead due to its allegiance to its antecedent of dehumanization, is incapable of separating itself from it, as such must be compelled. This is where the People of Virginia as an organic entity have the obligation, an obligation that cannot be delegated to the compromises of customary gambits.

WHAT EXACTLY IS PROTEST AS SPEECH IN VIRGINIA PRISON REFORM ADVOCACY By William Thorpe

Pictures are taken from the internet and are used for illustrative purposes only
Recently an ally in the work of Virginia Prison Reform and holding the Virginia Prison Official accountable, told me I was anti-protest. So after I permitted myself a bit of a chuckle. I responded with the simple, well, every single moment of my existence these past 46 years and counting of imprisonment under Virginia's jurisdiction has been one continuum of protest, considering the fact that I came to prison with a 13 year sentence and I've now done 46 years and not a single one of these accumulated years hasn't been protest related. So there has to be an extraordinary disconnect with and an outright confusion over, what exactly is protest as speech, then its purpose and utility, because if after, to use the colloquial running time up, to where I've done 46 years on a original 13 year sentence, I can be characterized as being protest averse or anti-protest, then something is drastically and dramatically wrong. Hell I'm currently exiled caged up in Texas from Virginia because of protest. But the fact of the matter is one idealistic characterization doesn't in no way form or manner take away from historical facts which my existence under the jurisdiction of Virginia imprisonment, details and instead what it does is provide that opportunity to present a bit of analysis which will be a bit of a motive force to this historic work of holding the Virginia Prison official and the system that births them accountable. I BEGIN: Of course, PROTEST as a function of American English, is defined, which considering my prison writings are within the parameters of prison official impunity, meaning violations of law, authorizing the professional behavior of the Virginia Prison official, I'll first state the legal definition of PROTEST, according to BLACK'S LAW, Protest: A formal statement or action expressing dissent or disapproval. Now I'll state it's more generic definition from, WEBSTER'S NEW WORLD COLLEGE DICTIONARY Fifth Edition, Protest:1.to state positively affirm solemnly assert, 2. to make objection to speak strongly against. And now here is WEBSTER'S American English Thesaurus NEW EDITION 2 cents on it, Protest syn ASSERT, avouch, avow, profess, affirm, aver, declare, predicate, warrant, OBJECT remonstrate, expostulate, kick, oppose, resist, combat, fight, demur. What these definitions show is, protest is primarily and basically, an act, action, with the intent giving it character. So as it matters to the work and question of Virginia Prison reform and its accountability-function, we have to characterize it through purpose and its practicality. Once we do this, then we see and realize that its mindless and idealistic for our free-world allies to do what we as prisoners do, for the simple fact, what we do as protest as prisoners is due to the circumscription of imprisonment, its condition and circumstance when the intent, what is needed is the realization of the accountability-function of prison reform and once we have clarity on this then those minds and hearts in the free world, who are allied with accountability-function and its work of reform will realize the vastness of the protest-tableau, that's available. So we recognize that the Virginia Prison officials' impunity, and to the accountability-function is a systemic symptom of fundamental antagonisms of Virginia's Social Contract, meaning to return the prison official as subordinate to law and the will of the people, all facets of Virginia society must be scrutinized and held to account.

THE WORK OF HOLDING THE VIRGINIA PRISON OFFICIAL ACCOUNTABLE, HAS A PRIMARY AND SECONDARY CHARACTER By William Thorpe

Pictures are taken from the internet and are used for illustrative purposes only
I BEGIN: The work of holding the Virginia Prison Official accountable as all things political, has and consists of two fronts: which are (1) the primary focus of presenting to the people of Virginia that, the idea and fact of, the rule of law and its due process is a fraudulent enterprise as long as an integral element of its administration, the Virginia prison official, professionally behaves and operates with impunity, or to state it simply, presumes to be above the law. (2) the secondary aspect is to state a clear and unambiguous articulation to the people that our elected leaders who are tasked with the function and privilege of ensuring that fair administration of law, by exacting accountability and oversight over the Virginia prison official as their subordination to the people of Virginia ask, anticipates and expects, do so. Nothing about this is complicated or complex, however it becomes, due to all sorts of myriad convexing and concaving confluences and occurrences, of which some are endemic, while others are machinations. Nonetheless it doesn't excuse nor set aside the imposing reality, that, despite the fact that the impunity of the Virginia prison official, as expressed in the dehumanization of the Virginia prisoner, as practiced behind the prefab concrete and concertina razor wire enclosures of Virginia prison's, then spills over, firstly as a "othering" of the environment origin of the Virginia prisoner, meaning "free" Virginians, living, existing and going about their daily lives are seen and interacted with, under the same dehumanizing savagery and barbarism meted to the Virginia prisoner. Then secondly, it fuses into a crassification of Social Contract terms and a interactive callousness which then impedes that perfection of the unity of the people, as that germane aspirational quintessence of our Human Condition. What the work of holding the Virginia prison official accountable requires is a complete saturation of analysis among the people, not on any terms less than if conniving minds and exploitive opportunist among the people have inoculated the people against ideas of prison reform with the pernicious retort of, "don't do the crime if you can't do the time ", which in itself is a lawless snide and sneer, analysis to the people must be clear and unambiguous that, doing the time shouldn't then become a crime due to prison official impunity. The People are not clear on the fact that, punishment under Virginia law are either a sentence of imprisonment and its conditions on one's liberty, probation, restitution or a combination. The conditions and circumstances of the imprisonment or confinement is primarily we encounter the impunity and presumptions of the above-the-lawism of the Virginia prison official in the displayed savagery and barbarism of professional behavior, as a thinly concealed holdover from the whip and sadistically coercive and punitive measures of Virginia's chattel enslavement of Black People. Chattel enslavement of Black People in Virginia was a comprehensive dehumanization regime. Its migration into segregation or the colloquial jim crow, continued the dehumanization. Virginia's imprisonment scheme continues, the impunity of dehumanization and a Virginian doesn't have to give a flip about the imprisoned but if that Virginian is conscious of the tensions of the existing contradictions and antagonisms of Virginia's Social Contract, (which by the way, its impossible for any Virginian to ignore) which Candidate Abigail Spanberger spoke to so succinctly, then it behooves that it's connected to the impunity of the prison official.

THE ONLY RESPONSE TO GOV. SPANBERGER'S THOUGHTLESS AND UNFORCED ERROR SELECTION OF JOSEPH W. WALTERS, A COG IN THE INCORRIGIBLE VADOC MACHINERY OF IMPUNITY AS DIRECTOR IS NON-CONFIRMATION BY VIRGINIA SENATE By William Thorpe

Okay we get it Gov. Abigail Spanberger had that classic Democratic Party knee jerk fear of the "being soft on crime" slur, so she selected an apparatchik, a cog in the VADOC (Virginia Department of Corrections) machinery of impunity, as its new Director and this is where and why she and her incoming team are susceptible to the thoughtless and unforced error critique and criticism, because, Gov. Spanberger had ample evidence, from Local, National and even International media that simply picking from the rotted apples of the existing apparatchik of VADOC Directorate would be cataclysmic and indicative of that, political kryptonite, "incompetence". Listed below are media accounts that not only indicts the still existing and constituted VADOC Leadership but exposes Gov. Spanberger's nominee, Joseph W. Walters as accessory, complicit and a co-conspirator in the underpinning dehumanization of the Virginia Prisoner, who needless I add wasn't imprisoned to be dehumanized.

Not to mention the thousands of lawsuits filed by the Virginia Prisoner against the practices and philosophy supported, endorsed, defended and enforced by Gov. Spanberger's pick to head VADOC, which all Spanberger and her team had to do is a simple cursory dive and she would have quickly realized and recognized with her politician instincts that Joseph W. Walters, unlike her pick to head Virginia's Department of Homeland Security, STANLEY MEADOR, was ethically and politically radioactive. This unforced error selection of Joseph W. Walters by Spanberger, coming out of the gate isn't an automatic and irredeemable disqualifier of her incipient and nascent Governorship tenure, hell Ralph Northam survived his "blackface" bigotry and evidenced the capacity for historical redress, so yes Gov. Spanberger has a tableau of potential. Nonetheless, what this moment of her selection for Director of VADOC requires and demands is it's rejection and non-confirmation, by Virginia's Senate. Accordingly we call upon all Virginians cognitive of the perfection of unity among the people to lend their voice and energies in demanding the rejection of Joseph W Walters and his impunity as Director of The Virginia Department of Corrections. The first step and foundation of that perfection of unity of the people, is "equality under law".

THE PEOPLE OF VIRGINIA ARE NATURALLY DEVASTATED THAT GOVERNOR ABIGAIL SPANBERGER IS ENABLING THE IMPUNITY OF THE VIRGINIA PRISON OFFICIAL WITH HER SELECTION FOR DIRECTOR OF VADOC, BUT IT PRESENTS OPPORTUNITY FOR A DEBATE THAT HAS BEEN A LONG TIME COMING By William Thorpe

Pictures are taken from the internet and are used for illustrative purposes only
Let's be clear Governor Abigail Spanberger picked a cog in the status quo machinery of impunity to head VADOC or The Virginia Department of Corrections, because as a Democrat she is averse to the susceptibility euphemistic critique of "being soft on crime", and that's the whole point, for too long we have allowed, permitted and tolerated the existence of euphemistic narratives, that brazenly wink and nod their intent, while we act like, we don't know what's going on. Governor Spanberger chose a Virginia Prison Official, to become Director of VADOC who, during the period when imprisoned Virginians were self-immolating themselves, setting themselves on fire in protest of prison conditions and treatment, that he supported and defended its creation was collecting Virginia tax payer provided pay checks. Now, The Commonwealth of Virginia has been operating a Prison System for centuries and never have those it imprisoned resorted to self-immolation as speech in protest of conditions, till the watch of the previous Governor, Republican Glenn Youngkin and his henchman, former Director of VADOC, Chadwick Dotson and that's the team and "good ole boys club" Spanberger's pick to succeed Dotson, Joseph W. Walters, came from and labored under ensuring that it's (and by all and any standards) contra and antipathy to Virginia's rehabilitated and reformed Constitution continued, its philosophy and practice of dehumanizing the Virginia Prisoner. The question isn't whether Abigail Spanberger, knew and understood this, of course she did, because who didn't sit up and ponder why prisoners would set themselves on fire, but its why would she compromise the value sets, that for example drove over 70% of young Virginians to vote for her, thus enabling her triumph over the reactionary world view of the Virginia Republican? And its response is how I started this work, because, the Democratic Party has forever yielded and therefore tangoed with susceptibility to that euphemistic "being soft on crime" slur, which we The People are just as much complicit in permitting its formulation and existence as The Democratic Party. "Harm", by human to fellow human has always been an aspect of the human condition, if I'm to piggy back on the Biblical, wherever there are more than three, I'm with you and say wherever there are two people, the dialectic of "harm" is present, the question however is its resolution and its structure has developed along with the organization of the means and mechanisms of realizing the business of being human or that acquisition and its process of the necessities and wants of human existence. If "harm" is a destabilizer and interference of realizing the business of being human, then the means, mechanisms and process of its resolution is intended as its stabilizer, which is what Law or the terms and relations of the Social Contract, or that approximate cooperation, necessary for that business of being human, is enacted to satisfy. In contemporary Virginia Society and its Social Contract, crime exist as its result, meaning Law defines crime and the Virginia Department of Corrections is a mechanism of its process. So what then does the slur, "soft on crime" mean and why are Democrats susceptible to it, when Law exist not as a Democrat or Republican construct but as process of Virginia's democracy? and if Law when enacted exist as expression of collective will, isn't a after the fact summary redefinition then illegal, unlawful, extra-judicial and violative?

THE POLITICAL AND LEADERSHIP RAMIFICATIONS OF GOVERNOR ABIGAIL SPANBERGER'S PICK FOR DIRECTOR OF THE VIRGINIA DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS FOR THE PEOPLE OF THE COMMONWEALTH OF VIRGINIA By William Thorpe

Pictures are taken from the internet and are used for illustrative purposes only
Candidate Abigail Spanberger, if I'm to use the parlance of the World of Virginia's Tennis Icon Arthur Ashe, feted with base on Richmond's Monument Avenue, "aced" the servings of the political issues and questions of her 2025 gubernatorial Campaign to become Governor of The Commonwealth of Virginia. An accomplishment, notwithstanding it's historic nature of her emergence as First Female and Woman Governor of The Commonwealth of Virginia was already at Match Point, considering the fundamental, again to use the tennis parlance, straightforward serving of the issues and questions, which were, the affordability of life and existence in the Commonwealth. In other words the Politics of the moment was a straightforward serving and all she had to do was ace it by speaking to it. This recognition and capacity to articulate it has nothing to do with Leadership and in no way, form or manner does it indicate such. Candidate Spanberger's capacity to articulate or humanize the circumstances of affordability confronting the Virginian, wasn't in itself as I've pointed out indicative of leadership, which its expression would require a willingness to excavate the fact for the people of Virginia, that the issue and question of affordability of life and existence required and requires a more systemic and structural scrutiny and revelatory analysis, and that will require the originality of and ability of leadership, because unraveling the nature of "affordability", requires the courage to confront its orthodoxy and status quo underpinnings. I BEGIN: Just because Candidate Abigail Spanberger gave us the PG-13-articulation of "affordability" doesn't mean its more mature and primordial nature disappeared, because it now stands arrayed in all of its inexorability demanding the husbandry of leadership, which Governor Abigail Spanberger with her selection of Joseph W. Walters as the next Director of The Virginia Department of Corrections, is showing she hasn't found and lacks. The PG-13-affordability critique, on whose sails Governor Spanberger glided into history as Virginia's First Female Governor, was an end of a more diabolical phenomenon, that of the destruction of the process and terms of the Social Contract in two aspects, Nationally and State, which Abigail Spanberger clearly recognized because even though she wasn't explicit in stating such, its intimation was a latent backdrop because, what is affordable life and existence if there isn't any fair administration of law, as Social Contract terms, giving process to the necessary transactions of value exchange and its stability. So Ms. Spanberger was well aware that without that respect and subordination to the rule of law and its process, any discussion, debate and critique of affordability was moot, tantamount to that proverbial fiddling while Rome burned. Candidate and now Governor, Abigail Spanberger knew that the primary and only significant and relevant question facing Virginia as well as the Nation was and is IMPUNITY and its DICTATORSHIP. In Virginia its most prevalent and pernicious existence is in the form and professional behavior of the Virginia Prison Official and if Abigail Spanberger as Governor of Virginia is expected to and would be able to confront, that more basic impunity and it's dictatorship careening with its National aspect, how in the hell can she do so when not only is she affirming but endorsing it by selecting a cog in its Virginia machinery for Director of Virginia's Department of Corrections.

YOU KNOW ITS TIME THE PEOPLE OF VIRGINIA, SAID WAIT A MINUTE WHAT EXACTLY IS THE VIRGINIA PRISON OFFICIAL DOING AND WHAT DOES ANY OF IT HAVE TO DO WITH THE CONVICTION OF A LAW VIOLATION By William Thorpe

Pictures are taken from the internet and are used for illustrative purposes only
Recently the push for legislative action on Virginia Prisoner visitation was spoken on a bit in, parts of Virginia's media and the experience of a Virginia citizen from Fredericksburg, visiting a loved one at Virginia's Greensville Prison was shared. First of all the gist of her account was how a Virginia prison official at Greensville summarily determined that the blouse she had on was inappropriate. You know I'm a Virginia prisoner but exiled to the Texas prison system, but under Virginia's Jurisdiction and my primary focus has unconditionally been on the accountability-function of the prison official, because every data point and metric of the imprisonment-condition and its circumstance, is about the prison official's presumptions of irreproachability and its subsequent impunity and I write enough on it and it isn't like the WVTF story on Michelle G.'s visitation experience at Greensville was an epiphany or eureka moment but what it presented was again that without qualification, in stark relief fraudulence and charade of an enterprise, that despite its legitimate human conditional utility and actual historical formulations, has appropriated those historical formulations of "justice" and the pursuit of repairing harm and under its pretext incorrigibly labored to continue a practice, a political-economy construct of the most debased imaginable, that of chattel enslavement, which contrary to the theological narrative of "original sin", is the one and only bane and nemesis of the Human Condition. So what we encounter are those tell tale signature stamp reminders that Virginia's imprisonment circumstance and its prison condition has nothing to do with that speculative application of "justice" and its current verbiage of "public safety", because everything about the imprisonment circumstance indicates that induced schizophrenia of a corrupt and deceitful intent. First of all where do we have evidence that to create and present a functional socio-person, (which Virginia's imprisonment scheme claims anticipation) the process is that of dehumanization? And what the People of Virginia have to realize is the lexicon and vocabulary of the Virginia Prison Official, is functional double speak or euphemistic, intentionally constructed for the purpose and work of dehumanizing the Virginia prisoner, which is also why the Virginia prison official is eel-like slippery against accountability and I apologize to eels for the metaphor. The point is and I challenge not the incorrigible Virginia prison official but their apologist who do so in the good faith that, imprisonment as expression of the fair administration of Law is a necessary fact of Society, which I agree, that yes a Society has to have a mechanism of administering its laws and even prison abolitionist don't argue or debate this, the issue however is the Frankensteinism of it. Virginia's imprisonment circumstance is a Frankenstein creation struggling to hide and conceal the fact that its ulterior motive is the exploitation of the compromise of the 13th Amendment to The Constitution of The United States, that despite the Civil War that subjected abolishment of slavery onto the slave owning States, it Nationalized slavery, with its ".....except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction".We see this because, if as the Virginia prison official touts a preparation of the prisoner for reentry into Society, why is the imprisonment circumstance asocial?
