🔥 VIRGINIA POLITICIANS SELL OUT THE VIRGINIA PRISONER — AGAIN

Pictures are taken from the internet and are used for illustrative purposes only

Virginia just added a new section to the Code of Virginia:

 § 40.1‑44.2 — “Standards for Heat Illness Prevention”
Title 40.1 (Labor and Employment), Chapter 3 (Protection of Employees)

This law forces employers — including VADOC — to protect employees from dangerous heat.
Water. Shade. Rest breaks. Emergency plans.
The state now officially recognizes that 80°F is a health hazard.

But here’s the contradiction William Thorpe exposed for decades:

Virginia acknowledges the dangers of imprisonment for the people who run the prisons,
while denying those same dangers for the people trapped inside them.

The Commonwealth protects the job‑related risks of correctional officers, but refuses to acknowledge the human‑destroying impact of imprisonment on the incarcerated.
Thorpe wrote it plainly: Virginia will regulate the workplace — but never the cage.

And this new heat law proves it.

 VADOC employees get:

• Cooling access
• Water
• Rest cycles
• High‑heat protocols
• Emergency response protections

✘ Incarcerated people get:

• No temperature limits
• No cooling access
• No heat‑illness protections
• No emergency protocols
• No recognition that cells routinely hit 90–100°F

Virginia politicians know the heat is dangerous — they just decided only employees deserve protection, while incarcerated people are left to suffer the full impact of extreme heat with no relief and no rights.

Another sellout.
Another betrayal.
Another reminder that in Virginia, the system protects itself first — and the prisoner last.
