INSTEAD OF VIRGINIA'S IDEALISTIC PAROLE PROCESS WHAT IS NEEDED IS A STATUTORY AND MANDATORY RESENTENCING COURT SYSTEM By William Thorpe

In a recent work for VIRGINIA PRISONERS DAY, titled, HERE ARE MY TWO CENTS FOR THE 2026 MARKING OF VIRGINIA PRISONERS DAY (which was yesterday, the Third Sunday in May) I sketched the substitution of Virginia's current Parole process with the replacement of a mandatory resentencing regime, under the function of a statutory Court system. The applicable details are already functioning aspects of Virginia's Justice Infrastructure albeit existing ununified for this anticipated purpose of replacement for a Parole process that its historical critique has and currently serves no other function than political opportunity, a "reform" three card Monte, permitting reactionaries to coopt and claim Progressive enlightenment, when they are everything but, evidenced, with this latest spectacle of HB 1030 codified as Virginia law at 53.1-151.1. My purpose with the initial sketch of a statutory and mandatory resentencing court system as replacement and substitute for Virginia's parole process was to spur "thought". There is nothing practical about the Human Condition and the many forms of its Social Contract in its capture and development of the "unity of the people", or that maturity of the socio-person, which is wholly determinative and dependent on the accountability-function of governance, that allows the assertion, the business of human existence has attained that condition and circumstance where reform is idealistic and unwelcome. Still though we have the perversion and distortion of the reactionary and reaction's claims that nothing about the business of human existence demands the scrutiny and interrogation of reform and this claim which is the bureaucracy of the organized-violence of a Justice Infrastructure as the only refuge of the impunity of the Prison Official and for purposes of this work, the Virginia prison official and Virginia's imprisonment scheme which the "intention" of Parole as currently formulated is aspect, defends. The reality is it must be reformed according to its intent, which needless I add is release of the imprisoned.

This idea of statutory mandatory resentencing, as replacement for the current Parole process is simple, it works to bring honesty to the Commonwealth of Virginia's constituted speech of "equality under law", in contrast with this current attitude the Commonwealth has as a hodgepodge sort of idealistic relations with its imprisoned members of Society, when the reality, according to the intrinsic activity of it's Constituted Speech, Law as it's creator as basis and fundamental lattice of it's Social Contract, its imprisoned members are the most lawful, because the imprisoned Virginian is solely and specifically a creation of Virginia law or to put it bluntly whatever are it's distilled and crystalized value realizations are manifested in it's behavior with, as applied in the circumstance of its imprisonment scheme. Of course what I'm illustrating contradicts, what in actuality is the conventional hypocrisy of the Social Contract, because under its distortions as "conventional wisdom", not only isn't the imprisoned the only lawful entity in society, but the imprisoned isn't even human according to a jurisprudence of the same law that in order to impose dehumanization must firstly accord extraordinary recognitions of humanness. Anyway not to belabor the imbued hypocrisy and auto-negation of such "conventional wisdom", that under its hypocrisies births, despite the good and best intentions of its original proponents, the Parole process, which we contend with as, the dictatorship of intent. Our focus and work is to change it. The imprisoned Virginian as seen by the Social Contract is lawfully imprisoned. We are not disputing or debating its construct, our contention is simple, then don't colloquialize it, don't introduce formulations that are borne not of natural algebraic anticipations, of the constituted speech of law, based on the one thing leads to the other, clarity revealed by the dynamics, albeit primitive formations of the political-economy but preset and preconceived notions or that which are crass facts of the dictatorship of intent. If the Virginia prisoner is convicted according to the due process of law in all its substance along with the necessary penalties, when the process is usurped by the crass anticipations of the dictatorship of intent and an entire industry of the political-economy of its appellate process exist, attesting to this, then why do we accept the speculations and idealistic speech of a parole process that is incapable of defending itself were it opened to the level of scrutiny the significance of its work demands?. Again our response is simple we change it. We suggest a due process of law, applied upon a statutorily created Virginia Court system and adjudication that is based on a set of metrics, including, but not limited to age groupings: (a) 16---25, (b) 26--50 and (c) 51 on up, which the People of the Commonwealth will determine as terms for a resentencing of the imprisoned, that will result, immediate release, a resentencing (that will subsequently toll another resentencing date) or the continuation of the original sentence. This Resentencing Process will be strictly determined by a sitting Jury (determinations will not necessarily be unanimous, but of a majority).The Prisoner will have representation just as the adjudicative process of the original conviction or can self-represent. The Prisoner will have substantial opportunity to present materials, witnesses and sets of facts in support. The Commonwealth will play its usual adversarial role.
