I BEGIN: My position on the new Virginia Parole Law, Va. Code 53.1-151.1, has been clearly stated, that it is treachery and an insult, but that can also be said for law as contrivance in General. This work isn't to indulge in defending anything, all the reader has to do is let the honesty of their life condition and the laws, defining the business of their human existence give them the indulgences of pros and cons. I'm a prisoner under the Justice Infrastructure of the Commonwealth of Virginia and my focus is on it's contradictions and antagonisms, that it's status quo claims are non-existent, yet are its very animating secret that's hidden in plain sight. With that stated, let's get into it. Imprisonment, by definition implies and anticipates, the circumstance, "of for a period of time, then release from its condition". However, just as every single aspect of human existence is an economical enterprise, so is imprisonment. So it is in the interest of the Virginia Prison Official, that the imprisonment as enterprise is maximized, thoroughly and completely, because fundamentally, it is the primary and specific means and mechanism of earning a living or that business of human existence. So naturally it plays out as an incentive-operative, "exacerbating the inherent corruption of Virginia's imprisonment scheme", as revealed by the prison official's vested interest in its enterprise by holding onto, detaining and keeping the Virginia prisoner maximally confined, by means that are as this work will show are built into Virginia's imprisonment scheme. While its other expressions are reflective of the predilections and personality psychosis of individual prison officials. Thereby placing the prison official, squarely as a cog in the mechanical state of terms and relations of the Social Contract, which in the context of this work, focuses on the diametric opposition the Virginia Prison official has with the imperatives of the dictatorship of intent of Virginia's Parole Process, which is release from the imprisonment condition, before term. So the argument the Law, defines the professional behavior of the Prison official, is meaningless and cynically complicit, because the law itself is what provides the scaffolding for the opposition and undermining of the Parole logic, it inculcates the corruption. This argument despite the ethical and "moral" intentions of its proponents, is unable to contend and confront the fact, that if society or the Social Contract is "off laws and not men", then we cannot suppose anything, because no one is above law, which then demands a construct that materializes the unconditionality of process of scrutiny or, accountability. Functioning on the logic, of that colloquial," to whom much is given, much is required". While socially its formulation is contextually correct, we maturely revise and transform it to the practicality of instead of the "much is required" ethic, "to whom comprehensive responsibility is given, there will be it's exponential scrutiny or accountability".Despite the fact that Parole generally has been abolished in Virginia since 1995, it exist in forms and its remaining process, which the Va Code 53.1-151.1, further travestied. The Parole process has historically based its justification of violating its purpose, by denying release of the prisoner on the existence and accumulation of prison infractions or disciplinary charges. What this means is administrative record of prison rule violations.
If imprisonment anticipates release, which not even a delusional arch-reactionary dare dispute and if the quintessential purpose and value of Parole is, release, then it is an inarguable fact that any factor or element interfering with its facilitation and process, is fraudulent and corrupt. The reason works as this labor to bring scrutiny on Social Contract systems, as the Parole process of the Commonwealth of Virginia, is because of that necessary anticipatory inherent reform dynamic of Social Contract systems, because systems are naturally contradictory and antagonistic and require reform. Let's recall a classic, which is the reduction of Black People to 3/5ths of a person by The Constitution of The United States of America. Virginia's Parole process isn't any different. Because as reflection of its diametric interests, which are political-economic, Civilizational (that the Commonwealth is a civilized entity, stepping away from the certitude and zealotry of primitive or reactionary thought, by providing early release of its imprisoned) and a formulant and adherent to Due Process of Law. As such what has happened is a Frankenstein creature,"thy name is the Commonwealth of Virginia's Parole system", perpetrated fraud and this isn't petty hyperbole. But every single aspect of the parole construct, is simply incapable of defending itself before an iota of democratic scrutiny or accountability. Let's begin: The Constitutions which the Commonwealth is subject to are firstly, the Virginia Constitution then the United States'. Under and within the applicable Amendments. So the prisoner, the Virginia Prisoner is a creation of Constitutional proscription, under the formulation of the deprivation of life, liberty, or property without due process of law. Now not to get entangled in the dissection of law, which is the work of the electorate, notwithstanding the self-serving assertions of Jurisprudence, but without the People there isn't Law for Jurisprudence to rear on its hinds and Speak. The qualification of this is self evident, because every aspect of jurisprudence is touched by electoral activity in one form or another. Whether its in the direct election of certain judgeships or the election of Politicians whose Official responsibilities and duties include the appointment of Judges. It is necessary for me to state that my intent with this is ensuring that there isn't any margin of confusion on the recognition the People of Virginia have of their role in the development of all of these jurisprudential terms and framing that either expands or limits cognizance of conceptual constructs that to simply put it, impacts their lives and existence in ways that are then ascribed to some metaphysical or mystical convergence,(and it isn't my intention to disparage metaphysics or the mystical), which had nothing to do with anything. That is if one wants to characterize every single human interest and intention as lacking agency save that of the "demonic", which then would require a compendium of which metaphysical or mystical force has a taste for a burger and to be specific, a White Castle's along with what flavor of shake. My point is, if we are to confront the natural corrupt dynamic of interest and its condition as, the business of human existence as activity of the Accountability-Function of governance, then we have to go about its scrutiny armed with knowledge and understanding and not the petty crassness of self-interest suppositions, that leave nothing but unconditional harm in its wake. Which is what Virginia's Parole process shows us. That its reliance on the administrative record of prison rule violations or disciplinary events allows the Virginia Prison Official to then exploit it.
To the Virginia Prison Official, the position is first and foremost employment, means of earning a living.All the other declarations as reasons are simply lip service and subordinate to the understandable normal motive of earning a living. This is aspect of that primary antagonism we find within the political-economy formulations of Virginia's Social Contract, being in diametric opposition with the dictatorship of intent of the social good of Parole to the Virginia human condition. Which simply is if parole releases the prisoner and the prison official requires the imprisonment of the prisoner, it isn't insight to recognize that there is that conventional conflict of interest, which in other spheres of the Social Contract, effort is undertaken to prohibit and inhibit. But when it comes to the imprisonment scheme, conflict of interest is the incentive scaffolding and operative. Let me say this, my position isn't a wily nilly criticism against anything, because in order for our human condition to develop and mature as we ameliorate the self-harm we mindlessly subject ourselves to, we have to have these revealed facts of human behavior, in order to structure the necessary accountability processes for resolution. In other words, yes the Virginia Prison Official is professionally corrupt, the imprisonment scheme itself is corrupt, the Justice Infrastructure is Idealistic at best and Corrupt at worst. Which my saying so, shouldn't be reviled, because if we are able to contextualize the schizophrenic hypocrisy of Thomas Jefferson, correctly and rightly indicting, "The history of the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations....",while he, Jefferson was doing the same thing, by exacting daily," repeated injuries and usurpations "on the hundreds of Black People he held enslaved, then pointing out in 2026, that fundamental expressions of Virginia's governance and Government are equally corrupt, should only be welcomed, embraced and responded to with work of reforming it. Now it's one thing to have Parole or "short of term" release, be it in the existence of "sentence decrease, good-time" as fact of the prison sentence, which whether begrudgingly or not recognizes that the prisoner will be released to Society while actively pursuing a regime of dehumanizing the prisoner, all under the colloquial lunacy of "if you can't do the time, then don't the crime", or the Supreme Court of the U.S, sarcastically and sardonically declaring in the case RHODES v. CHAPMAN 452 U.S.337, that the U.S. "Constitution does not mandate comfortable prisons", when the issue and predicate question before the Supreme Court wasn't about comfort, but if two prisoners in a cell or double celling in a small cramped cell constituted Cruel and Unusual Punishment, a violation of the 8th Amendment to the Constitution of the United States. Which in endorsing whatever harms double celling prisoners do and have done those Judges introduced a framing of the issue, which again exposes and underscores the inherent corruption of the imprisonment scheme. Because for one, if and I emphasize, IF, the People as State are exercising the logic of "imprisonment" as repair of harm and the harmed are to accept the imprisonment of alleged and assumed perpetrators as relief, then who is accountable for the ensuing condition and its universe of harm that the Prisoner is subjected to under the guise of "punishment"? Which under the presumptions of the same law applied as punishment against the imprisoned, must submit to the supremacy of a Constitutionally provided and produced "Due Process of Law", but isn't? Yet we are supposed to accept the resulting harm, that isn't imposed sentence, but as a implicit compact? while proclaiming the entire scheme "lawful", even as the entire imprisonment condition is a defacto extra-judicial affair?
In the first part of this work, I stated: The Parole Process has historically (I should qualify what I mean by "historically", because it only extends to the introductive beginnings of the formerly enslaved Black man, post Civil War and Emancipation into the Penitentiary system) based its justification of violating it's purpose, by denying release of the prisoner on the existence and accumulation of prison infractions or disciplinary charges. Then I developed it with, the Parole process: Reliance on the Administrative record of prison rule violations or disciplinary events allows the Virginia Prison Official to then exploit it. If as I have shown that the Virginia Prison Official has a fundamental conflict of interest, with the intention and purpose of the Parole process, which is release of the prisoner then, the Virginia Legislature more than anyone, save for the Virginia Prisoner, should understand and know such, which then should preclude it from actions that serve as catalyst, exemplified by the insidious HB 1030, codified, VA Code 53.1-151.1 act of Del. Tony Wilt (R) of Virginia's 34th District as a purported right side of history reform of Virginia's Parole process. Which requires the only response, as conclusion from the People of Virginia that there aren't enough hyperbolic metaphors, declaring, "We Reject It". What we as the People state is we have progressed, past the mindset and its formulations, revealed in this quote from Mr. Tony Wilt, shamelessly touting his irredeemable HB 1030, by WHSV-Richmond," IF WE'RE LOOKING TOWARDS THE POINT, THE TIME THAT THEY MIGHT NO LONGER BE [INCARCERATED], THEY WOULD BE BACK OUT IN THE PUBLIC THAT THEY HAVE SOMETHING TANGIBLE THAT CAN HELP CARRY THEM THROUGH". Now besides the implicit carte blanche, Mr. Wilt's Virginia law has further given the already professionally corrupt behavior of the Virginia Prison Official and it's foist on the People of Virginia. We welcome it's unanticipated consequence, as it presents prima facie evidence of how the Virginia legislator, specifically the Republican and conservative Democrat, enables the dehumanization of the Virginia Prisoner, by the intellectual-liberalism philosophy of the Virginia Prison official. Which we see its lawless privilege and prerogative permeating, Mr. Wilts quote. He begins with "If we're looking towards the point, the time that they might no longer be [incarcerated],....So i begin with why we are given all of these ad hoc and extra-judicial qualifiers?. There isn't any "If" in the circumstance of "lawful" imprisonment and the inherent release, unless what Mr. Wilt is saying out loud is what we already know which is, modern Virginia imprisonment is as lawful as its Black Codes progenitor and antecedent, that were simply a back door gambit to reimpose chattel labor on the post-Civil War dialectical emergence of the new Black socio-person. One can give Mr. Wilt the proverbial benefit of the doubt, that his quote is an expression of awareness of the reactionary mindset of his constituency, who are patently idealistic on grasping that the imprisoned are not outside of law, but are its creation, still if that is the presumption then as Representative, it is his obligation to enlighten the constituency in whose name he has acted that, imprisonment isn't dehumanization, nor is it a redistributive political-economy function. Where the imprisoned primarily serve as means of introducing money into exploited environments under the cover of "Justice" Infrastructural mission statements, at the expense of veneers of civilizing enlightenments, as providing Parole for the imprisoned. Those we specifically indict besides the Virginia legislator are Academia who supposedly have assumed the function of embodying enlightenment, but as history has shown are incapable of Speech.
