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

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.
