So, in response to work titled, THE SAVAGERY AND BARBARISM OF THE AMERICAN PRISON SYSTEM HAS PRODUCED GIANTS IN OPPOSITION...... which I assume came from a mind and heart sharing and having affinity with the savagery and barbarism, this was and I paraphrase stated, what did the work have to do with Virginia prisoners committing suicide. Now do I think that a Virginia prison official under a pseudonym, made the comment as a distraction from the fact that the imprisonment scheme, Virginia's or Nationally, is pure unadulterated savagery and barbarism, is besides the point. But what the comment does is present opportunity for focus on and a highlight of an aspect we seemingly and virtually fail to consider and even when it nibbles at the back of our mind, we take it for granted. What I'm talking about is the degree to which we are practically ignorant of the THOUGHT or construct of the SOCIAL CONTRACT or THE SYSTEM. Now let's just take it on face value that the commentator speaking of prisoner suicide is actually oblivious to the connection savagery and barbarism has on also inducing suicide, which the Supreme Court of The United States in 1890, in a moment of honesty and unbiased reasoning, noted in the case IN RE MEDLEY 134 U.S 160, that prisoners in solitary confinement and I quote, "committed suicide". This is what Jurist of the highest Court in the land said in 1890 and not even the most vile and incorrigible Prison Official will dare argue that solitary confinement isn't a savage and barbaric condition, but my focus is on more than stating the obvious. What I ask of us in this work of reforming Virginia's imprisonment scheme, is we have to actually grasp the construct of Virginia's Social Contract, in order to recognize that the accountability-function of governance is much more than legislative action, because for one a Supreme Court whether a States' or Federal can null and void legislative action, which the only Accountability available is that of the fundamental grasp of the People, which essentially is to what extent the People are capable of activating that "Speech", of the Emperor has no clothes. In other words, when the dynamic of governance stands gloriously naked and to a degree the Supreme Court of Hawaii in the case GRANILLO v. STATE 2026 HAW.LEXIS 179, in the writings of Justice Todd W. Eddins, has given us its schematic. Which simply is the activity of speech exposing. So, let's take the circumstance of Virginia prisoner suicide. For starters seldom do we see energetic speech from Family, Ally and Friends, cutting through the distractive and distortive noise of Virginia public discourse. Because complicity resulting in the suicides, isn't just due to the professional presence of the Virginia Prison Official as cause, but the very construct of Virginia's Social Contract and its lattice aspect, the gradient dehumanization of the socio-person. We see this in how the functionaries of Virginia's Social Contract, the Media, treat the fact of the prisoner suicide. Initially the media coverage, insidiously diminishes or down plays the suicide fact, then it matures to dismissing it with stunts as directing attention to and emphasizing whatever alleged convictions resulted in the imprisonment of the dead prisoner. This sort of media treatment is a result of bias enboldenment, serving a specific function, that of detouring fissure causing status quo criticism, which simply is the prisoner wasn't sent to prison to commit suicide. Then we have the silence from the Virginia Mental Health profession as complicity.
