That Community and State wide exhalation of accomplishment and relief, by The Families, Friends and collectively the People of Virginia at the fact that Chadwick Dotson, Director of Virginia's Prison System, has finally got his good riddance and Governor-Elect Abigail Spanberger can spend some of her good-will with the People and present her grasp of that necessary accountability-function as applied towards the Virginia Prison Official, by setting its tone, with the replacement. For too long we have allowed conniving minds amongst The People to pounce on, seize and subsequently exploit the already fraught issue and circumstance of "harm" caused by criminal violations, as mechanism of their business of securing their realized socio-personhood intentions. Whether and specifically those who would assume political-leadership in the Commonwealth of Virginia actually give "thought" to resolving those natural occurring contradictions and the much basic antagonism of the Commonwealth's Social Contract other than and besides tactical formulations presented by Campaign Managers and Political Consultants has always been a question of the intellectual and emotional tolerance of the people. Or when both the people and their political leaders regardless of reason will not confront the status quo of dysfunction, the emergence of its critical mass then imposes its dialectic regardless of the social contracts narrative-will and capability, demanding resolution, meaning the People, irrespective of tolerance threshold are now compelled to pay attention and embody that simple but encapsulating," of, by and for the people", and its maturtity of recognition that they are not mere part time stake holders or its objective, its subjects, despite the Social Contracts narrative, but are "the" Social Contract or its motive and life force. Which is what the People of The Commonwealth of Virginia spearheaded by and with the efforts and energies of Families and Friends of the Virginia Prisoner recognized and realized with the Electoral Process or November 2025 culminating in the historic emergence and triumph of Abigail Spanberger, that the proverbial "wheels were off the cart", in all aspects of the Commonwealth's Social Contract, meaning Virginia was at its critical mass horizon. Because when imprisoned Virginia citizens are compelled to speak with the desperation of self-immolation, setting themselves on fire, there is nothing Virginia society and the people can do, save to collectively pause, sit up and recognize that, No, this isn't what Virginia is constituted as, nor its aspirations for. Further indication of the dysfunction reaching and attaining critical mass was the fundamentally corrupt nature of the response from the then Executive of the Commonwealth Governor Glenn Youngkin and his Director of The Virginia Department of Corrections, Chadwick Dotson, both downplaying the enormity and the bizarreness of prisoners of the State of Virginia setting themselves on fire as speech in protest of the savage and barbarous conditions of imprisonment. To say that the response from the Youngkin Administration and Dotson's Directorate were revelatory of moral failings belies the fact that, its dismissiveness and cavalier existence is the "normal" character stance, philosophy and political position towards the Virginia prisoner by Virginia Republicans. Family and Friends of the Virginia Prisoner exposed it.
