WHAT THE CASE OF MR. VINCENT BAISI TEACHES ABOUT THE WORK OF HOLDING THE VIRGINIA PRISON OFFICIAL ACCOUNTABLE By William Thorpe

Normally I don't have to use out of Virginia incidents to illustrate the systemic malevolence of Prison Official impunity. But then comes along a case that simply encapsulates it, yup the malevolence of prison official impunity in all of its dehumanizing savagery and barbarism and not only does it do that, but it also reveals the pervasively rooted depth of its pernicious interstate nature. The case of Mr. Vincent Baisi is from the once upon a time used to geographically be Virginia, but is now the sister State West Virginia and the primary lesson that it instructs, is the reminder of that fish-eyed oblivious capacity we as human beings have for the humanness of our fellow self. However there is also redemption to be learned from Mr. Baisi's unconscionable experience at West Virginia's, WESTERN REGIONAL JAIL on November 27, 2023 as a pretrial detainee, because FEDERAL JUDGE ROBERT C. CHAMBERS OF THE U.S.DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF WEST VIRGINIA, HUNTINGTON DIVISION, rejected jail officials typical, indulgent, expectation of Judges turning a blind eye to their sadism and denied their motion for dismissal and Mr. Baisi's claims will proceed through what due process of law he's able to wrangle its accountability on the offending jail officials. I BEGIN: People, Mr. Vincent Baisi's experience of November 27, 2023 at the Western Regional Jail which is documented at In Re BAISI, 2026 U.S.DIST. LEXIS 40961 is nothing less than pure unbridled barbarism expressing a defacto and unconditional dehumanization of a socio-person and human being. Culturally we recognize the afflicted and battling illness person as a category to be given extra attention and when the affliction and illness is cancer it demands extra empathy. There are all sorts of intense philanthropy devoted and directed at the affliction and illness of cancer as such there isn't an American post-pubesence that isn't fully inculcated with the empathetic awareness that its victims and survivors require a level of attention. Well from the actions of WESTERN REGIONAL JAIL officials, Lieutenant James Phillips, Corporal Woods, Correctional Officer Casteel, Major Pauley, Correctional Officer Albright, Aaron Scarr, Dewayne E. Cyrus named as Defendants by Vincent Baisi of committing egregious and heinous harms, clearly rejected that fundamental American cultural empathy for the cancer survivor. Because upon his confinement at the Western Regional Jail, a medical Nurse who examined him, according to his claims told the named defendants that Vincent Baisi was a postoperative cancer patient who had undergone chemotherapy and should not be x-rayed. Which the named defendants ignored and x-rayed Mr. Baisi 17 times !!!, then he was handcuffed behind his back continuously for over seventy hours. People let that sink in, a known postoperative cancer patient with a hernia mesh was x-rayed over 17 times and left handcuffed behind his back for over seventy hours and all of this professional behavior was done with the callous privilege of, its been done before, maybe not in this specific manner, but the practice of dehumanization clearly wasn't novel requiring second thoughts to its practioners and perpetrators. Yes our corporate media and shamelessly opportunistic politicians will scream extrapolations of heinous deeds and acts when committed by the narratives of political gambits, yet rarely are we told of crimes of the prison official.
