SO YOU FEEL THAT PRISON REFORM IN VIRGINIA IS A JOKE MEANING THE PEOPLE OF VIRGINIA ARE A JOKE By William Thorpe

Pictures are taken from the internet and are used for illustrative purposes only
Recently there was an anonymous comment to my WORD MEANING, work, that and I paraphrase, they agreed with the point I was making, which they claimed to have also been making, then they concluded with prison reform in Virginia is a joke. Now regardless of and besides its mindset and intention, there are certain incontrovertible and unimpeachable facts defining any and all Reform push including that of Virginia's imprisonment scheme. Which irrespective of "intent "expression are irrefutable. In other words if the purpose or intention of the critique is to discredit or demoralize the energy exerted in the push for reform, which the anonymous comment referenced can be in its mold. Or it is evidence of dissatisfaction with the circumstances of the reform formulation and agitation and as such always turns out to be is due to the undisciplined presence of idealistic assumptions and the luxury of taking things for granted. The reality is, just as it is opposing the reform formulation, it is also (and this is where we find its true significance) enabling the emerging contours and definitions of Reform, to stand clearly, revealed pulsating with its undeniable logic. Which in our case is Virginia's imprisonment scheme, to stand revealed in all its practical legitimacy. What I mean by, practical legitimacy, is this: the work of Reform is specifically about introducing and exposing, to the People an exposé narrative of the existence of that which is to be reformed, or in other words a reminder of its history and origin, that is a compromising fallacy of what the People have come to accept, hold and understand not merely as true, but most importantly to be in the interest of their all around realized development. In other words the People upon encountering that inevitability of the critique, or exposé, which the object of reform has forever anticipated and expected would arrive, find themselves naturally existing DIS-ORGANIZED, untethered from the controlling Social Contract suppositions of what they once accepted, defined and tolerated its yoke as Tradition, as truth of existence of socio-personhood. Because it isn't that the Reform Push, is at odds with Social Contract, but Reform's Speech is wrangling clarity and honesty to the word meaning of "interest", which as it concerns our work, Virginia's imprisonment scheme. Meaning Virginia's imprisonment scheme "has" an interest, that is "supposedly" reflective and representative of the Constituted Aspirations of the People of Virginia and the work of reform or the Reform Push, emerges saying, yes, but there are a couple of things we must clear and confront. Because if Virginia's Justice Infrastructure and the Imprisonment scheme speak due to and under the authority of the People, then we have to have the correct definition of the People, which will then lead us to the honesty of the "mission" of the imprisonment scheme, that is in accord with the Constituted Aspirations of the People. Now this is the crux. What I mean is this: As I've described Reform is exposing Speech, or the exposé of history and origin. Which Social Contract interacts with on the terms of "practical legitimacy", or the requisite attention to its intention, purpose and function. Now here is where we meet the mindless context of Virginia's prison reform is a joke anonymous comment, because if "anonymous" is concerned with the work of prison reform, they would find that in Virginia's Governor Abigail Spanberger do we have the historic first of the "Public" acknowledgement for unambiguous prison reform, SO seize it.

YES WE HAVE OUR INDIVIDUAL VIRGINIA IMPRISONMENT SCHEME EXPERIENCES, BUT GOVERNOR ABIGAIL SPANBERGER WITH HER DESCRIPTIVE OF THE VIRGINIA PRISONER AS "LIVING" IS CREATING SPACE FOR THE REALIZATION OF THE ACCOUNTABILITY-FUNCTION OF GOVERNANCE By William Thorpe


What we as Virginia Prisoner's expect of and from those who speak for us, is Firstly the recognition, understanding and grasp of when Political-catalytic space is being created and most importantly, secondly how to then occupy it with the necessary realizing abilities of what it means to reform Virginia's imprisonment scheme by holding the Virginia Prison Official accountable. Every time a non-imprisoned Virginian or person has complained to a Virginia Government element viz the prison official about an experience a Virginia prisoner has been subjected to within the imprisonment scheme, it is an effort and endeavor of reform and a realization of the accountability-function, but and this will sound counterintuitive, but the infrastructure of the imprisonment scheme welcomes it .Because, it doesn't compel it to cease and desist in the offensive behavior, but rather it treats the circumstance of the complaint as a singular and isolated occurrence an insane affirmation of the systems acceptability and not as its inherently alienated and destructive comprehensive character. This isn't unique to imprisonment, but it is a primary and fundamental nature of the super infrastructure of Society or the Social Contract. Where the entire energy of existence of the Social Contract is spent and expended in distracting attention from the fact that the insufferable circumstances of everyday life are not isolated happenstances but inexorable and inevitable consequences and results of its structure and terms of relations and if the imprisonment scheme is a primary component, then it goes to say that, within the imprisonment scheme we will encounter exponential expenditure of distorting energy. What this then means is, the work of subordinating the Virginia Prison Official to the will of the People under the accountability-function dialectic of governance, is primarily that of showing and establishing that the Prison Official's professional behavior of impunity, is not that "dumbing down" narrative of the "bad apple", but is the system behaving as it is intended to. None of this is insight, because too many damn People have died stressing this simple fact. So it isn't that as a People we are historically oblivious and ignorant, to this basic political-economy machination. But as our ancients observed, that due to that ever present Social Contract dialectic and its distorting requirement, which in the absence of an analysis based organized and structured critique. What then happens is, in our individual personification as socio-persons, experiencing, existence as a peered through communal aperture, we begin to grasp that the accepted " life" happenstances are not happenstances after all but systemic outcomes, which only exist because our disclaimers are derided as illegitimate and evidence of moral failings. In other words we are not socio-persons enough that narratives of our existence compel attention. This brings me to Governor Spanberger's recent acknowledgement that and I paraphrase fellow Virginians are living imprisoned in Virginia prisons. As I have noted in earlier works her descriptive, "living", accomplishes the thesis of holding the Virginia Prison official accountable. On two accounts, firstly considering the Virginia Prison official is accountable to her as Executive of the Commonwealth, she cannot then support, endorse and defend the practices of dehumanizing the Virginia prisoner. Secondly and most important the necessary political space now exist for practical Prison reform.

WHEN A VIRGINIA PRISONER IS SUBJECTED TO AN INFRACTION, THE PROCEDURE IS CHARACTERIZED AS AN ADMINISTRATIVE PROCESS, DO YOU REALIZE THE LIFE AND DEATH OF IT? By William Thorpe

Pictures are taken from the internet and are used for illustrative purposes only
So my opposition to the infamous HB 1030 Parole yoke, codified at Virginia Code 53.1-151.1, is well documented in a number of my works. I welcome disagreements and critique from any vantage of any position. Even when the critique is purely simplistic and an exhibition of idealistic indulgence. Because for one if idealistic indulgences weren't, pervasively a social currency, we all would be winged creatures gloriously eternally chanting, instead of profanely revealing our "unqualified interests" and giving them the honest maturity expected of the necessary and inexorable critique of the Social Contract Humanness realizational function. Despite the fact that ,the business of human existence demands and compels gradient analysis, from self-introspection to political-economy examination, it is never welcome belying its unforgiving and merciless necessity and nothing more compels analysis as the work of reforming Virginia's imprisonment scheme. When we speak of Contradictions and Antagonisms, there isn't a vector more rife with both thesis than as it concerns this work, Virginia's imprisonment scheme and when we don't simply acknowledge such as not being the exception but the rule, then the Virginia People in their rank and file premising its Constituted Aspirations, from the Imprisoned Virginian, to Family, Ally, Friends and most importantly those harmed by the imprisoned are comprehensively ill-equipped to pursue the inevitable Reform irrespective of impulse. Whether or not one is cognizant, with the appreciative presence of mind, that Law is being upheld by Virginia's imprisonment scheme or exists in its apathy, the reality is the conditionality of the presumptuousness are nonetheless impactful. Because the presence of impunity and its above-the-lawism, isn't simply isolated to for example a Virginia Prison Official breaking the law in the treatment of an imprisoned Virginian in solitary confinement in any number of Virginia's Koncentration Kamps. But it seeps out, it leaks out, it pervades and permeates Virginia Society via any number of portals that I'll leave to the educated imagination of the reader and it afflicts and affects that basic basis of social interaction, which is the fundamental recognition of the Virginia socio-person. This formulation is what made Governor Abigail Spanberger's recent descriptive of the imprisoned Virginian as "living" so instructive, because in one swoop she critiqued that philosophical dehumanization of the Virginia prisoner practiced by the Virginia prison official, thereby creating that legitimizing space for the anti-dehumanization critique to mature in. But that perspective is not the focus of this current work. This work deals with how the reduction of what are law formulations are summarily transformed into its management as an Administrative Process thereby transforming the lawful prisoner into an unlawful dehumanization. Look at it like this: ask yourself, now why would a Social Contract, transform the HUMAN RIGHTS of the socio-person into CIVIL RIGHTS, well that's the same exact circumstance with the Prisoner. A prisoner is a complete and total creation of law, as such the prisoner as socio-person is the most lawful. But the Prison Official alters the lawfulness of the Prisoner into an extra-judicial entity subject to the ad hoc whimsies of ADMINISTRATION. Under lawfulness and law the Prisoner is beneficiary of actual Process with all its attendant technicalities, penalties and prejudices. Under Administration the prisoner is subject to arbitrary applications and its corruption

NORTH CAROLINA PRISON OFFICIALS SHACKLED A FEMALE PRISONER WHO WAS HAVING A BABY, THE U.S. COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE FOURTH CIRCUIT, WHICH VIRGINIA IS UNDER ITS JURISDICTION---SAID NO, YOU CAN'T DO THAT AND WE COMMEND THEM By William Thorpe


When People in whose authority Systems viz LAW exist and function do the right thing we acknowledge, recognize and even commend them and we have one of those moments in the case: EDWARDS v. WITHERSPOON 2026 U.S APP. LEXIS 27847.Our work is on Virginia's imprisonment scheme, which the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit has authority over to what extent its circumstances are relatively lawful. The imprisonment scheme of the State of North Carolina, is also under 4th Circuit jurisdiction, so situations in North Carolina are on legal equal footing as Virginia. But besides the jurisdictional relevance, the fact that the professional determinations of a prison official can be expressed in shackling a pregnant Prisoner in labor, underscores, the Speech of our Virginia work. Secondly the work of the Judges in the EDWARDS case, specifically Judges DIAZ, GREGORY and BENJAMIN (who wrote the Opinion) as it stands should be recognized, for providing analysis that is accessible to us all. I BEGIN: The EDWARDS case, not only is it analytically revelatory, but it also indicts. For starters, the case is about a pregnant prisoner having a baby, it also deals with Opioid use and flabbergasting prison bureaucracy as embodied in the Administration of Dehumanization, evidenced in the summary treatment of a female human in labor. It also indicts the hypocrisy of certain noisy Establishment Institutions, of their typical presence and intrusions into all sorts of Social issues by their absence, as nothing more than crass opportunity. We don't find the various Church and "faith" based Groups and Organizations exploiting the Amicus Curiae system with their dictatorial suppositions, which is odd. Because one would think, supporting a Woman who happens to be imprisoned and is being subjected to State practiced dehumanization, its opposition qualifies for Evangelical critique and opprobrium. Yet the critique is not so surprisingly absent. I will let the suspect Organizations speak for themselves without prompt from our work. What I will however say is, certain things are apparent. The suspect Organizations who typically are present in the Amici environment, having everything to say on all sorts of irrelevances, besides pathetic hypocrisy, clearly haven't resolved the honesty of practice of certain of their unambiguous basic tenets and quite frankly that isn't a sin, that's essentially the human condition, the honesty of resolving contradictions. Another thing the EDWARDS case also does, is allow certain "thought" to, firstly expose their existence, then stutter their way into that proverbial, what, "the cat got your tongue?". Because it confronts the sophistry presented in works as: REVISITING THE CRITIQUE OF THOSE WHO UPHELD THE FUGITIVE SLAVE ACT IN THE 1840's AND 50's--58 AM. J. LEGAL HIST. 290 by PETER KARSTEN. Because if we are to accept the defense of Qualified Immunity, which is nothing more than a perpetual end run, which is practically what PETER KARSTEN ask of us in his REVISITING... THE FUGITIVE SLAVE ACT work, which we also encounter in the DISSENT in LEWIS v. CARABALLO 98 F.4th 521, where a 15 year old boy, CAMERON LEWIS was getting his brain bashed in by a Maryland State Trooper and the Maryland Officer raised as defense, that there wasn't any law that said an Officer cannot bash a human being's brain in under the logic of the arrest process. Now PETER KARSTEN in his FUGITIVE SLAVE work didn't couch, it in QUALIFIED IMMUNITY terms yet it is.

WHY THE WORK OF REFORMING VIRGINIA'S IMPRISONMENT SCHEME IS FUNDAMENTALLY ABOUT UNDERSTANDING WORD MEANING By William Thorpe

Pictures are taken from the internet and are used for illustrative purposes only
What if I made the point that there isn't an act People are and have been imprisoned in Virginia for that hasn't been once upon a time and currently, also performed, primarily in the interest of the Commonwealth of Virginia and its Social Contract? Of course, there will be those who will rise up decrying the effrontery and there will be those who will not only attest to the honesty and correctness of the statement, but will defend it with: and that's why we must reform the Accountability-Function of governance by subordinating the levers of State Organized-Violence to it, which Virginia's imprisonment scheme and the foot soldier, Prison Official are principals. The difference between the above-described positions is fundamentally, the grasp and cognition of word meaning. Yes, you're right to recognize that, the dynamic of corruption, or the above-the-lawism of impunity, in its crass form of the "tolerance" of the pursuit and realization of "interests", exerts its latent dictatorial role on our honesty, loyalty and allegiance to word meaning. Still, I respond with disagreements with facts, which are essentially word meanings, are a revelation of the underlying ignorance, which later on maturely emerges as "short sightedness". So, if Virginia Social Contracts' euphemisms, word salads, ill grasped word meanings are in fact the proverbial Windmills of Don Quixote appearing as unassailable and impregnable citadels, then our work of compelling the Accountability-Function of Virginia's governance is to stand on the simple ask that, if our lives as played out in the business of human existence are consequence, then it's time we applied correct definitions of word meaning. I BEGIN: No one disagrees with the word meaning of LAW. The issue or disagreement with it, is its application, with the debate over the application conveniently exploiting to what extent the various values or positions grasp its word meaning and in most cases the application is defaulted to that lack of meaning. So, for Exa analysis of Virginia's imprisonment scheme meaning its reform, goes no further than to what extent, its Creator, LAW is understood. At this juncture I want to use this bit of anecdote as illustration, Ahoto Taysir Mulazim (Harold Carpenter), who has since passed, used to be in the trenches with me in Virginia's Solitary Confinement Koncentration Kamps. He initially came to prison with, I think 5 years and in the course of protesting and resisting violations in Virginia's imprisonment scheme he accumulated additional time. When Ahoto was initially arrested and all of that in the City of Richmond, Virginia, the cops violated his rights as a juvenile by failing to have a Parent or Guardian, present. This wasn't unique to Ahoto, it was almost standard operating cop behavior, to violate parental and guardianship laws of certain Virginia demographic. This was addressed by Virginia's Appellate Courts in a case that came to be known as BAKER'S CLAIM. The result of Baker's Claim was hundreds, if not thousands of Virginia prisoners whose juvenile rights had been violated, were being released from prison. Of course, the status quo didn't like it, but that's not the point, I'm making. Here is the point, Ahoto was recognized as member of the Baker's Claim class. However, he was denied release because of the additional time he had accumulated protesting and resisting the violations of Virginia's imprisonment scheme. Naturally he challenged the denial of release. The Judge hearing the case told Ahoto, that even though his initial imprisonment was illegal, the added sentences weren't as such he'd stay confined. Ahoto's, position was those other charges wouldn't have happened weren't for the illegal imprisonment.

The reason I share this Ahoto anecdote, is to show how LAW as all things human existence and the ensuing Condition is about WORDS and to what extent we grasp and understand. Because when we don't, we are its victim. Virginia's Imprisonment Scheme is supposedly primarily structured on the Words found at VIRGINIA CODE 53.1, Titled as PRISONS AND OTHER METHODS OF CORRECTION. Now the title as all other words contained in it are Law. Because Virginia Prisons, Methods of Correction are and exist as a creation of law. What I'm saying is in itself an entire Universe of meaning, which is the function of Law, till we are able to say okay enough is enough submit to the actual and correct definition. When we don't do this then the double or even triple meaning begins to become a fact, which in turn is also structured on other "facts", which then begins to be accepted and engaged on the terms that it is Tradition, Heritage and Cultural. While doing everything it can to conceal and distort the fact that any and all moments are right and appropriate to challenge its existence and in turn call it to account. So for example Virginia's 53.1, dealing with prisons, begins with Section 53.1-1 DEFINITIONS and it goes on to describe: "As used in this title, unless the context requires a different meaning": [then it goes on to create or breathe legal air on to various terms, that can and will have life and death authority over the imprisoned and free human being by the meaning. Listed among the terms are] ["State Correctional Facility "means any Correctional Center or Correctional Field Unit used for the incarceration of adult offenders established and operated by the Department of Corrections, or operated pursuant to the Corrections Private Services Act (53.1-261 et seq) "State Correctional Facility" includes "penitentiary "whenever used in this title or other titles of the Code.] Now I excerpted this section to show this, what are the names of Red Onion, Wallens Ridge and Sussex all are State Prisons, however Virginia law as dictated in 53.1-1 says nothing about State Prisons instead it includes penitentiary. Now, there are those who'll say, well penitentiary is synonymous with prison. All of that can be true yet law isn't based on synonyms, unless in its definition it includes "and all synonyms". Here is an example people are still fighting over the appearance of commas in the 2d amendment to the Constitution of the United States, meaning, Law is word meaning and grammar. I'm going to these lengths in this work, to show how in a lot of ways we are sabotaged in our work of reforming Virginia's imprisonment scheme due to our participation in the distortion, appropriation, acceptance of misleading word meaning and we see this pertinently in the construction of PAROLE in Virginia's imprisonment scheme. Fundamentally "Parole" is a definition of release from some sort of constraint. As such its process isn't to determine, WHY parole should be granted but why IT SHOULDN'T. Now this is simple word meaning, but we have allowed its reuse and misuse to transform it into its antonym, because we have historically related and reacted to the entire imprisonment scheme from a position of accepting that the dehumanization which we are subjected to is a self-fulfilling, self-affirming proof that as Virginia prisoners we are less than. Instead of it being an empirical articulation that the dehumanization professionally practiced by the Virginia prison official is a testament of their extra-judicial and crass above-the-lawism indulgences, that are defrauding the Constituted Aspirations of The People of Virginia. Everything applied as Virginia's imprisonment scheme is word meaning construct, from a Parole determinations formulating "a" Public Safety rationale to Governor Spanberger's recent "living" descriptive.

SOCIETY IS STRUCTURED ON IDEAS PART IX By William Thorpe

Pictures are taken from the internet and are used for illustrative purposes only
People I trust you are reading and studying some of the works I list in this series. As I'm always emphasizing we are "ruled" and subjects of a line of thinking that is truly alien and quite frankly antithetical to what you the People of Virginia commonly think and presume undergirds the judgement of those you vote as representation. And there isn't an area that is the testing ground of this convoluted line of thinking, than Prison and the Imprisonment scheme. Because in the administration of the American, viz Virginia's imprisonment scheme more than any other expression, is where we encounter this convoluted line of thinking in its most pure and undiluted duplicity and it is borne on the machinations of the IDEA INDUSTRY, who are liege Lords to the Politician and Legislator. It is vital that The People are privy to the product of the IDEA INDUSTRY, which I have been listing in this series, in order to get past the double talk and outright lies employed by those status quo functionaries, which in essence are most of the Politicians. Below, listed are titles of works, I ask we familiarize ourselves with:

RADELET [people this is a damn good, excellent and well presented work. It also exposes the fraudulent and hypocritical thought of Virginia Republicans, the author Michael Radelet should be commended and it also underscores the necessity for unconditional analysis in a reform movement. As a last word I want to also echo Mr. Radelet's reminder that backwards and reactionary Virginia Republicans will most definitely try to reinstate the death penalty in Virginia when they again become the legislature majority.] VULNERABILITY AND JUST DESERT: A THEORY OF SENTENCING AND MENTAL ILLNESS----103 J.CRIM.L. and CRIMINOLOGY 147 by E.LEA JOHNSTON The above listed are illustrations of the cogs of Society's engine. Contrary to the pablum we are fed on that extremely long handled spoon, its all about Control and it's Interest.

YES THE VALLEY JUSTICE COALITION SPEAKS UP FOR THE VIRGINIA PRISONER, BUT THE INDEFENSIBLE HB 1030 LAW ISN'T A HILL TO DIE ON By William Thorpe

Pictures are taken from the internet and are used for illustrative purposes only
I'm fully aware that expending mental labor on the HB 1030 Law, is purely a distraction. However its critique and ensuing struggle with The Valley Justice Coalition is actually and truly part of the work of reforming Virginia's imprisonment scheme and holding the Virginia prison official accountable, because we all know where the prison official stands , but among ourselves as the People, which The Valley Justice Coalition is element, analytical resolution of grasp of the antagonism presented by Virginia's imprisonment scheme is a duty and obligation, is a must if we are to materialize the accountability-function of Virginia's governance. With this stated, I BEGIN: Yes, the Valley Justice Coalition was primarily instrumental in the crystallization of HB 1030 as Virginia law codified at VIRGINIA CODE 53.1-151.1. However, it was a misguided effort that has created as the law currently exist a fraud. Because HB 1030 embodies all that enables the inherent corrupt dynamic of not just the Parole process which the law purports to reform, but it's zeitgeist operative. The fact that a couple of Virginia prisoners birthed it's schematic isn't absolution nor does it in any way form, manner or fashion change and alter the irredeemable fact that the law is a fraud and an albatross around the already insufferably yoked necks of the Virginia prisoner. Pick whatever continuum chapter of injustice of our Human Condition and the immediate and proximate cause and reagent enabler are members of the target recipient of the injustice, so the fact that a couple of Virginia prisoners instigated a self-harm enterprise isn't news. Now I've been exposing HB 1030 as an insidious work, since its, emergence, fully clothed in the unanimous smirking and fingers crossed, wink, winky of the Virginia anti-prisoner formulation, notwithstanding the unanimity of the "ayes". Even though the Valley Justice Coalition has been an advocate for the Virginia prisoner, we have to challenge it, when it missteps. So as it currently stands nothing has changed in Virginia's status quo posture on the correct admission of what is Parole, it is still a gambit. There is a diametrical dichotomous dissonance of comprehension, from what the Constituted Aspirations of the People of Virginia grasp Parole to be from its Virginia Governmental vis a vis as applied Political exploitation and this dissonance is maintained by Virginia Parole jurisprudence, which when the Virginia prisoner victimized by the exploitation, goes to the Court house petitioning his case that the Parole Process is unconstitutionally depriving him of liberty or release without due process of law, encounters to the fullest. Parole exists as member of the tribe, of mechanisms created to release the Prisoner from imprisonment before term of the imposed sentence. Its kinsmen are Pardon, Clemency and Commutation. The operative is "release from imprisonment before term of sentence". In other words, the purpose of Parole is not to determine why the Prisoner should be released, but why he or she shouldn't. This inversion has a universe of reasons, with the primary and fundamental being that the Virginia demographic immediately subjected to the inversion, the Prisoner, Family, Ally and Friends didn't speak up against the sophistry that borne the inversion as such it was extremely easy for the anti-Prisoner formulant to sabotage, betray and subsequently undermine the reason a mechanism as Parole, with one and only one purpose, release from imprisonment would even exist. So, what the Valley Justice Coalition plus collaborators have, with HB 1030 done is continue the "why" should Parole be given inversion.

THE INFAMOUS VIRGINIA PAROLE REFORM HB 1030 CODIFIED AT VIRGINIA CODE 53.1-151.1 CONTRARY TO THE MINT JULEP HIGH OF ITS DEFENDERS IS ANOTHER "OLE VIRGINIA" By William Thorpe

Pictures are taken from the internet and are used for illustrative purposes only
Since HB 1030 saw the light of the day, I've been exposing it as a fraud. HB 1030 appeared as the brain child of a couple of Virginia Prisoners, who were being denied Parole. Their idea for reforming Virginia's Parole Process, then, after going through the hands of certain Virginia Prison Reform Advocates ended up with the "opportunity" recognizing Virginia General Assembly member Delegate Tony Wilt (R) and his assistant Chad Funkhouser. Subsequently Delegate Tony Wilt didn't have any problem getting his Virginia General Assembly colleagues to recognize what a godsend the prospective parole reform idea was, because it presented every last one of them, from the reactionary-philistine to the enlightened Progressive, a Rorschach - Test opportunity affirmation of, for each their bonafides, to the burnishing of claims of wanting what's best after all for the Virginia demographic subject to the historicity of the imprisonment scheme, contrary to critics. So it wasn't a feat to have occurring in the General Assembly of The Commonwealth of Virginia in 2026 the "collusion" of it's various and disparate political factions unanimously saying "aye" to HB 1030. Which to any honest observer was proof enough of its fraudulent and corrupt nature and not of justness and being on the correct side of history. I mean we are talking about the same Virginia Republicans who in that same session were producing, sponsoring and advancing Bills targeting Virginia's imprisoned geriatrics for defacto to the grave imprisonment all of a sudden joining hands with Virginia Democrats and voting for a Bill presenting itself as means of release from imprisonment? Unless the quacks like a duck part has been a lie, then there is nothing honest and reformative about HB 1030.This incidental with the defenders of HB 1030, is instructive of a phenomenon that keeps on reappearing with any circumstance of the work of Reform. What happens is there isn't a clear and practical grasp of the fact that, reform, is actually about changing the human existence by improving circumstances and conditions. The tension that appears, which in this particular HB 1030 case, is its defenders have become unwilling to simply examine the law, against the prior and pre HB 1030 circumstance and ask the simple question: why are Virginia prisoners who are the intended beneficiaries of the law, saying it is fraudulent?. Because its defenders have become idealistically invested in the law at the expense of its practical existence in the real and profane world of the imprisoned Virginian. So for example emphasis is placed on the "work sheet", function of the law without pausing to recognize that all its metrics and data points for the most part hinge on approximations, abstractions and the dictatorship of "a" administrative process that is fundamentally weighted and tilted to whatever the interests of the Virginia prison official are and can contemporaneously be. Let's take the infraction metric and it's demerit function, which is extraordinarily consequential yet it doesn't currently comply with the least modicum of due process equal to its consequence. Nothing I'm outlining is insight. All that I point out are fundamental antagonisms of the imprisonment scheme, which is the natural foe of the Prisoner, which have required and necessitated the solidarity of ally and friends in its articulation. The very nature of Parole has been perverted from a status to be granted to its current, "why", should it be granted. This is the point we not only must make but amplify.

SOCIETY IS STRUCTURED ON IDEAS PART VIII By William Thorpe

Pictures are taken from the internet and are used for illustrative purposes only
I've been using this SOCIETY IS STRUCTURED ON IDEAS series to keep underscoring and emphasizing this one and simple point, which is: If we don't speak up for ourselves someone else will and it won't be in our interest. As such I've been listing for the FAMILY, ALLY and FRIEND of the Virginia Prisoner and in extension the National Prisoner, works by those dealing in the Idea Industry, who influence our Political leaders and Policy makers in ways the voter, who voted the Legislator into Power do not. So recently I was listening to the ravings by one of the White-Evangelical mouth pieces on one of the Republican propaganda Fronts, The American Family Radio and besides being a shill for neo-feudalism, White-Evangelical commentary on criminal justice issues have been an extraordinary reactionary impediment, exploiting the Politicians shameless quest for votes. So I subjected myself to the experience of what new depths can White-Evangelical hypocrisy reach and the menu offered up, RESTORATIVE JUSTICE. Initially I wondered why White-Evangelicals would be up in arms over Restorative Justice, which has a right to its day in the Sun as all other Justice formulations, if that's what the People as Community appreciates as satisfying Society's needs. Anyway as I always approach the grasp of a point of view, I do it on the terms of the objection. So I seeked the basis for the White-Evangelical critique of Restorative Justice not on what Restorative Justice actually is but on what if anything in Christianity supports the claim that advocating and endorsing Restorative Justice is violative of and at odds with a Christian's, sincere and deeply held belief and what I encountered was that same ole same critique of fundamental human nature, which as I stated earlier, yup, hypocrisy. Because the mouth piece on the radio hadn't been but a couple of minutes into his apoplexy, when he uttered, Liberal and Blue States are soft on crime, with this Restorative Justice stuff, when the Bible teaches we should,(at this point, I'd rather paraphrase) obey the law of the land. Man talk about hadn't it been for the fact that I'm not surprised with the twisted logic of the mind stuck in the hapless morass of supremacy, which is the White-Evangelical's pathetic refuge, I'd have actually wondered. Because imagine the logic of critiquing a law (which aspects of Restorative Justice is law in some Communities across the Nation) on the grounds the Bible exhorts adherents to obey the law of the land, (but when that law is Restorative Justice damn it to hell because it's a purported Liberal Formulation, that to let White-Evangelical Christianity tell it is "soft on crime"?) and all of this is being stated with a straight face and its such logic that Politicians, especially Democrats are "terrified" of being its object? When not only is it, even on mere secular terms laughable and enfeebled but it cannot even find defense for its spectacle on its own Biblical terms. Anyway, the point I want to make with this ridiculous spectacle criticism of Restorative Justice from a White-Evangelical radio mouth piece, is simply this. The roadblocks that have perennially stood in the way of reform have as motive, which this criticism of Restorative Justice, shows is that fear the Supremacist have of losing privilege. Because when we listen closely to what the opponents of reform and in particular, as it concerns us, the Virginia imprisonment scheme are saying, it isn't that they don't understand reform, because they themselves are facts and results of reform, but they recognize that reform implies accountability for status that once upon a time was taken for granted and they more than anyone else understand the true function of the imprisonment scheme, as such are anti its reform.

JUST AS SOUTHERN EVANGELICAL CHRISTIANS ENDORSED, SUPPORTED AND DEFENDED CHATTEL ENSLAVEMENT OF BLACK PEOPLE, VIRGINIA'S MENTAL HEALTH ESTABLISHMENT IS COMPLICIT IN THE VIRGINIA PRISON OFFICIAL'S DEHUMANIZATION OF THE IMPRISONED VIRGINIAN By William Thorpe

During one of the U.S Senate's recent idealistic hearings on "wokeness", a former Chairman of the JOINT CHIEFS OF STAFF, immortalized this rejoinder and I paraphrase, that he had read and studied Marxism, so did that make him a Marxist?. I begin this work with it as illustration, to show how everything is about, who is saying what and at what point in time, because Justness, in its presence as Accountability, in the business of human existence as the Human Condition, is about ferreting out "interest". What I mean by interest is simply that revelation of to what extent will the always present latent and inherent corruption of a system be tolerated. I titled this work with the reminder of the role Southern Evangelical Christianity played in the political-economy of chattel slavery and I need not quote this or that in it's defense, because the indictment is well established and fully developed, not just on the terms of their very own faith and tenets, but their historic inability to repudiate the behavior, which segues into the other half of the title, which is: VIRGINIA'S MENTAL HEALTH ESTABLISHMENT IS COMPLICIT IN THE VIRGINIA PRISON OFFICIAL'S DEHUMANIZATION OF THE IMPRISONED VIRGINIAN. I BEGIN: Whereas Southern Evangelical Christianity's complicity with the chattel enslavement of Black People has been comprehensively derided and exposed for what it pathetically was, Virginia's Mental Health Establishment hasn't been subjected to an equally comparative examination of its behavior and participation in the dehumanization of the Virginia Prisoner. Which stands as example of that, who is saying what and at what point in time, which isn't critique of inability, but, it speaks to the mechanics of Virginia's Social Contract benefitting from that adage of hiding something in plain sight, which in turn speaks to the narrative dynamic of what is needed to maintain and ensure the orderly function of the business of human existence. In other words Society "tolerates", that which isn't being exposed as patently antagonistic and forever the Mental Health Establishment, whether locally or Nationally has exploited that tolerance. Because we cannot talk about and endeavor to hold the Prison Official accountable and subordinate him to the accountability-function of governance and ignore the role the Mental Health establishment plays in the imprisonment scheme. In 2019, I put together some work, titled, WHEN NOTED "EXPRESS INDIFFERENCE": RED ONION STATE PRISON,MENTAL HEALTH and IT'S PRACTICE OF SOLITARY CONFINEMENT, the work was published on January 10, 2019.I showed how a number of Court rulings starting with the Supreme Court of The United States, as far back as 1890, had indicted the Mental Health impact on imprisonment. What is salient is this: the Imprisoned Human Being, is purely a creation of law, nothing more nothing less. However there is that tendency, where we see the effect of again, tolerance of how that fact is glossed over and People naturally begin to accept the narrative from the beneficiaries of the imprisonment scheme, that the prisoner is something else and one of the co-conspirators in the transformation of the legal circumstance of the prisoner into an ad hoc extra-judicial circumstance are the Mental Health Establishment. Who overtly and covertly provide cover for the prison officials dehumanization of the Virginia Prisoner, which wasn't and isn't part of the Prison Sentence, but due to our silence, we don't point it out, by exposing the complicity.

YES VIRGINIA'S MENTAL HEALTH ESTABLISHMENT, AS ALL IT'S OTHER MAJOR VECTORS, IS EQUALLY CULPABLE AS THE VIRGINIA PRISON OFFICIAL By William Thorpe

Pictures are taken from the internet and are used for illustrative purposes only
If political-economy is the foundation, the super structure of the business of human existence, then the Mental Health of the human being and the socio-person are the eyes, seeing which way is forward. If the imprisonment schemes of modern Social Contracts, exist primarily to keep and maintain control of Labor or the human worker hierarchically proximate to the business of qualifying quality from quantity necessary for human existence, which is aspect of the political-economy formulation, then, as I've already stated, mental health are the eyes grounding, which way is forward. So considering that this is fundamental insight, clearly grasped and understood by the Government element, which the Prison Official is cog. Accordingly for purpose of our work, the Virginia Prison Official, then the claim of ignorance typically exploited as qualified immunity, to evade accountability, has no bearing on our work. Because where the orthodoxy of conventional analysis and critique of Virginia's Social Contract primarily exist to excuse by serving up idealistic justifications for its contradictory and antagonistic narratives. Our work of holding the Virginia Prison official accountable and subordinate to the will and intention of the Virginia People, has a more practical purpose than defending a construct that has origin in the Imperial Conquest Speech of post-1400's. As such where conventional analysis apologizes, ours is committed to showing, for example that the anti-People, subjugative, neo-feudalistic nature of the accountability-function of Virginia's governance has every aspect of Establishment complicity. Which means our work isn't a mere parroting of narratives that excuse and obfuscate instead of revealing culpability. I BEGIN: Virginia's imprisonment scheme is incapable of repudiating and shedding off its State organized-violence function in the Social Contract, as such it cannot deny nor shrug off the direct effect and impact it has on the mental health of the Virginia prisoner, which the prisoner wasn't imprisoned to have it tampered with (Before I continue, the deleterious effects of the post-1400 as a mental health dynamic is extensively documented in all of its alienating character emergence, and Secondly, this is where we find that Virginia's imprisonment scheme, despite enveloping and encloaking itself under the DUE PROCESS OF LAW approximation, is nothing more than another ad hoc suppositionary enterprise taking advantage of the fact its subordinate demographics are summarily unable of compelling, contradiction synthesis, manifested in as I've stated the imprisoned's mental health being extra-judicially tampered with). But besides that, the more insidious factor is our obliviousness to the existence of willing complicit participants as Virginia's Mental Health Establishment. The Virginia Prison Official is never short or bereft of apologetic narratives. For one the work is dehumanization, as such the professional behavior is fundamentally dishonest requiring opacity. Just as the work of Administratively exterminating the human being or the political-economy formulation of chattel enslavement of the human being are never honest in its disclosure and are descriptively opaque. However, besides the idea and fundamental submission to the sacrosanctity of Human Life, the socio-person and Professional socio-person who embody the Establishment, as Virginia's Mental Health, expect and anticipate "Respect". In the context, that they're participating in the progressive development of the business of human existence. Well, our work is to remind them that complicity isn't respectability.
