THE BARBARITY OF THE VIRGINIA PRISON CONDITION ISNT ONLY CAUSING EPIGENETIC HARM, BUT ALSO HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE, STROKES, KIDNEY DISEASE, PSYCHOSIS, SUICIDES By William Thorpe

Pictures are taken from the internet and are used for illustrative purposes only
Here is the crux we are a society of law, not behavior but law. What I'm stating isn't mere sophistry, to the superficial, the shallow, the peddler in Berkeleian negation a fight with windmills will begin as response and reaction, which in other words is that indulgence of "self-checking" oneself, because it's much more comforting to stay mired in the lies and distortions that has become our social intelligence. But its pretty simple, the Virginia prisoner is a creation of law and not behavior and I ask you the reader to find any of the actually and not pro forma "proven" or alleged predicate behavior or acts by the convicted and imprisoned Virginia prisoner that isn't contextually what Virginians do and have done. The criminality of Virginia's George Washington, The Nations numero uno President, through the rapist and schizophrenic in Chief Thomas Jefferson, along with his henchman James Madison, bookending it with the current savagery of the Virginia prison official. Yes philosophically and polemically we indict the behaviour, while Virginia law averts its all seeing gaze of no one is above it, from the behaviour, but on two accounts (1) it isn't criminalized (2) it isn't prosecuted. So if the Virginia prisoner is a creation of law, which then means the imprisonment, circumstance and condition are all facts of and creations of law, then we have to interrogate the "as it is reality" under the rubric of compliance to law, minus the qualification and condition of that extra-judicial scheme of deference, if the results, its impact, its consequence are harmful, destructive and dehumanizing. What this means is if Virginia wants to wield fiat sapiens as law, omniscient and all knowing, then it must account for harm done to, endured and suffered by the prisoner which it summarily describes and characterize as unintended, which we rightly and categorically will and do reject. Notwithstanding that Law has its provisions or process for snuffing out life, it still doesn't permit or allow extra-judicial impositions causing the experienced harm of the imprisonment. A few years ago Virginia justifiably and commonsensically abolished its presumptions of snuffing out life as criminal sanction. Virginia's current application of law upon the purported repudiation of its 1871 RUFFIN v. COMMONWEALTH 62 VA.290 doesn't allow it to cause harm to the prisoner, during the imprisonment. In other words Virginia and her People, her citizens haven't declared that its lawful, for the terms and nature of Virginia's imprisonment to be harmful to the prisoner, yet that is what is happening as a result of the "behaviors" of the Virginia prison official. Our political leaders haven't provided the people of Virginia with irrefutable and irreproachable facts, that, for example, epigenetic harm, high blood pressure, strokes kidney disease, psychosis and suicides just to name a few are happening to the Virginia prisoner independent of the imprisonment as fact of law. When Virginia, as The People exercises its "will" as organized violence by detaining and confining, we, consequently will not then accept the proposition and presumption, that Virginia is flying at the seat of its pants, trial by error, let's see what works and what doesn't, speculations of experimentation. The issue isn't that of what is to be done about criminality and human deviance. We recognize the social cohesion of law, what we don't is its extra-judicial existence. Imprisonment isn't a speculative and theoretical exercise, its done in the name of the People of Virginia who must debate it.

WHY THE NARRATIVE ON PRISON REFORM IN VIRGINIA SHOULDN'T BE LEFT TO THE WHIMS OF THE WHICH WAY THE WIND IS BLOWING VIRGINIA POLITICIAN..... by William Thorpe

First of all the appearance of Donald J. Trump on the Nations and Virginia's political scene has shown to us and proven unambiguously and unequivocally without qualification, without nuance,what the majority of THE PEOPLE have understood and some have known that LAW, ORDER and JUSTICE are petty gimmicks, crass gambits in the employ of "supremacy" and the pursuit of neo-feudalism. Because in Donald Trump we have seen its outright articulation of, George Orwell was right in ANIMAL FARM, that some animals are more equal than others, which is to simply mean some, as Donald Trump has shown, are above law. The fact that, its now apparent, blatant and brazen that some are above law isn't, as a prisoner under the jurisdiction of Virginia news. What I welcome about what Donald Trump's existence has shown is, mooting the argument or purported debate over law, order and justice. So for example we see our "esteemed" Governor Glenn Youngkin and "honorable" Attorney General of The Commonwealth Jason Miyares falling over themselves, tripping all over the faith and aspirational morality of The Commonwealth by supporting, endorsing the sex assault adjudged, 34 felony count convicted Donald Trump, a spit in the face of Virginians who have, are suffering and victimized by similar, identical and comparable crimes to Trumps'. While in Youngkin's case dubiously vetoing a moderate and shallow reform of his Virginia Department of Corrections sadistic use of solitary confinement. Then we have the head scratching, weird spectacle of Jason Miyares pining, hoping for, hungry for a "crime wave", wishing that Virginians will be harmed by newly released Virginia prisoners. To put it mildly, this is disorienting. But hadn't the criminality of Donald Trump and the subsequent emergence of his apologist and defenders presented the question and laid it so plainly and undeniably for all, even our most delusional ostrich head in sand, that if we are not to make a mockery of everything, especially those Virginians who have made affirmation boards of "work hard and play by the rules", under the usual provincial preaching and historical narratives based on the "supremacist "indulgence of a feudalistic political-economy, then reform of Virginia's justice infrastructure, its Department of Corrections and prison system requires a honest narrative. Look let me say this, the Virginia prisoner is fundamentally a citizen according to the terms and definitions of Virginia's SOCIAL CONTRACT, yet the administrative narrative and its societal logic, has to, in order to imprison, transform the Virginia prisoner into something less and else. As such what THE PEOPLE of Virginia and society have experienced and been subjected to are a perversion and diabolical distortion of their citizenship due to the "something less and else "administrative narrative wielded against the prisoner. The Virginia rank and file politician, captive to the administrative narrative deployed against the prisoner cannot be unilaterally expected to reform the narrative when they have proven themselves craven enough, unable and unwilling enough to simply state the obvious, that defending and supporting the criminality of Donald Trump, by The Commonwealth's, Chief Executive and Attorney General is incompatible and morally repugnant to aspirations and expectations of Virginia's Social Contract. Now in the absence of the needed and necessary moral courage by the rank and file Virginia politician, we'd think our media would be it with giving us the narrative accuracy of reform.

WHAT EPIGENETICS HAS TO SAY ABOUT THE BARBARITY OF THE VIRGINIA PRISON SYSTEM, ESPECIALLY ITS USE OF SOLITARY CONFINEMENT By William Thorpe

I'm a prisoner under the jurisdiction of The Commonwealth of Virginia currently held by The Texas Department of Criminal Justice, because Virginia exiled me here. My focus is on Virginia. What I'm about to speak on is something, Virginia politicians, leaders, institutions, specifically educational institutions i.e The University of Virginia at Charlottesville, Virginia Commonwealth University's Medical College of Virginia and Virginia Polytechnic University at Blacksburg and Businesses should have and in pursuit of the wholesome and honest governance defined by The Social Contract brought and presented to the Virginia public for debate relating to Virginia's practice of imprisonment and solitary confinement as a significant component of its Justice Infrastructure. But as we have experienced forever, Virginia's politics as established by its status quo which I have identified above does everything but and at the very expense of good governance. The renowned neuroscientist and epigeneticist, Dr. Bianca Jones Marlin of Columbia University has been doing serious work on showing and relatively establishing that and how our experiences are passed on generationally through our genes. Traditionally and colloquially people have surmised that experiences are transmitted generationally, but EPIGENESIS and EPIGENETICS is showing that it isn't mere Farmers Almanac talk as shown by Dr. Bianca Jones Marlin's work. The experience of Virginia imprisonment is patently and gratuitously savage. The point of its criticism isn't based on and off the nature of the prison official, but a more fundamental indictment of the apathy and indifference of the people and society of The Commonwealth to it's lack of attention and responsibility to what is done to the prisoner in their name. EPIGENESIS is a reminder and instructor that thoughtless harm is being done to future generations of our human condition and society who regardless of the logic and relative justification of the savagery of the imprisonment impacts us as society. Prisoners are released, prisoners return to and become members and participants of the greater society with the irreparable harm of the, as shown by Dr. Bianca Jones Marlin's epigenetic work,(and I paraphrase) the lived experiences of past generations are passed down genetically, which as it relates to this work is the savagery of the Virginia prison experience. The average Virginia citizen going about their replicative conditions for existence isn't relatively expected to be aware of the actuality of the hazards of experiential genetic imprints to have a moral and ethical ground, from which to scrutinize the barbarous behavior of the Virginia prison official. But that's what a society's leaders and institutions are for and its on that crucial and organic point are we sold short and betrayed. Because contrary to the exploitation of the Virginia citizenry's cluelessness and ignorance, by the usual factions and their shared indulgence of short sighted and selfish interests, Virginia society suffers when the public is dispossessed of information, knowledge and the understanding necessary to actually repair society towards the realization and harnessing of the inherent potential of all the people. The Virginia Department of Corrections, its overlord, Governor Glenn Youngkin, regardless of idealistic rationale for using solitary confinement have to contend with its epigenetic harm.

SO THE SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES, IN THE CASE, TOWN OF CASTLE ROCK v. GONZALES 545 U.S. 748 SAID COPS HAVE NO LEGAL DUTY TO PROTECT ANYONE AND ACCORDING TO THE SQUIRMY NATURE OF LAW THEY'RE RIGHT By William Thorpe

Yes according to the squirmy nature of law, Cops or Government aren't LEGALLY obligated to do anything and we actually see how this plays out in the work of holding the Virginia Department of Corrections accountable and reform of its deeds. Consequently what rulings and proclamations as the Supreme Courts' Town of Castle Rock v. Gonzales also show and enable is the fact that Justice or doing right by the mistreated and harmed is, it compels us to actually grasp the nature of our Social Contract and the ensuing underpinning social relationships. I won't go all into the details of the Castle Rock case but I strongly ask that you the reader get the case and read it. Now if you happen to be focused on and concerned with Prison reform in Virginia along with its justice infrastructure, you will have to, not only study the case but also follow how it impacts all and what we do pursuing transparency within Virginia's governmental formulations. Let me unequivocally state: despite the fact that WE THE PEOPLE are GOVERNMENT, we are also in conflict with ourselves as government. To be specific the conflict stands or appears as the objectification of our ignorance, assumptions and suppositions, resulting as a dash of cold water in our collective faces as the Virginia tax payer when we encounter the fact that, the confounding sophistry of "legal duty" has a "qualifier", a manuver, called DISCRETION. What this simply means is all and I stress all governmental functions, irrespective of descriptive and operative language are discretionary. So for example, even though the Virginia prisoner is entitled to PAROLE, receiving it or getting it is discretionary or in other words up to the speculations, assumptions and biases of The Virginia Parole Board. The point though is all of this can be changed, improved on, reformed with the type and sort of politics that presents these issues as questions of Government, untethered from, removed from and devoid of the varied representations of idealistic distortions and deviations. If the highest function of The People of Virginia, collectively as Government, as The Commonwealth of Virginia, is its organized violence imposing imprisonment as function of its justice infrastructure and if the imprisonment scheme and practices are patently counterproductive and must be reformed for its generalized injustice then we have to have a politics of REFORM.A politics that highlights contradictions and antagonisms, not as anomalies of Virginia Government but reflective of its suppositionary foundation that is specifically at odds with the aspirations of modern Virginia and its human condition. The Virginia Department of Corrections as under belly of The Commonwealth is quintessential Virginia as such it is where we see, find and experience its shortcomings and inabilities which as I've already identified, are foundational. In other words the issue isn't with criminality or social deviance, both instances and circumstances are answers albeit dysfunctional and asocial, but the question is how does Virginia apply LAW with its social cohesiveness of "no one is above it".Yes,we get the schizophrenia of Virginia's Thomas Jefferson thundering on the equality, freedom of humanity while enslaving humanity and raping Sally Hemings.We get Virginia's James Madison's demand for The 2d amend.as defense of slavery, a maneuver for retention of discretion.

THE VIRGINIA PRISON SYSTEM AND IT'S DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS IS A FUNCTION OF GOVERNMENT AND TO REFORM IT ALSO MEANS HOLDING GOVERNMENT ACCOUNTABLE..... by. William Thorpe

Recently one of our Virginia State Senators' made it known that,she had toured a couple of Virginia prisons. (Russett Perry) She didn't say which ones, but she did say something to the effect that prison reform and public safety are bipartisan or nonpartisan issues. I begin with: I disagree that REFORM, regardless and irrespective of context, is nonpartisan. Reform, has a specific and particular orientation, which is improving on a status quo. As such improvement isn't regressive but ALWAYS progressive and politics as a partisan endeavor and enterprise is representative of interest. To reform systems, implying an existing interest is being challenged, the context then is within a natural opposition to the existing status quo or interest, which will concurrently reveal that the politics reflective of the interest defended is helplessly partisan. The political tendency represented by our Virginia State Senator who recently spoke on her prison tour is reformist, yet the idealistic nature of Virginia's politics and it's defining narrative or speech requires her to relatively negate its reform predicate necessity, with the characterization under the disingenuous and duplicitous claim that prison reform is nonpartisan. So when we state: If, the Virginia prison system is a Governmental function and the only social question to be answered is its reform, then we must and have to hold our Government accountable and it begins with requiring that our representatives and political leaders give us accurate and correct definitions of what the Virginia public and society needs for the level of debate for reform of the Virginia Department of Corrections. Now let me unequivocally state that the Virginia Prisoner is a political and social creation. To you the reader who disagrees with the description thats what debates are for. To hold our government accountable, it requires and demands of us not just a mere grasp of events happening in Virginia prisons but the principles and ideas of the Virginia prison official administering it within its historical context. The problem however is, as I started this work, the double negative tendencies undercutting of the reformist intent once again expressed by another Virginia politician talking out of both sides of their mouth over the question of prison reform and public safety in Virginia. First of all it is correct and accurate to say that Virginia's justice infrastructure inclusive of the prison system is dysfunctional and hypocritical and I need not defend the statement with nothing less than pointing out the fact of its negation and undermining by none other than The Governor of Virginia Glenn Youngkin and Virginia's Chief Law Officer, Attorney General of The Commonwealth of Virginia Jason Miyares, both constitutionally tasked with upholding it, but instead supporting and endorsing a sex assault adjudged, 34 felony count convicted, Donald Trump, the Nations most notorious felon. Its incredulous that anyone, any Virginian can dare think that the Political Party of Youngkin and Miyares, The Republican Party isn't partisan on the necessary question of reforming the habits, practices and philosophy of the Virginia Department of Corrections. The Virginia prisoner doesn't exist as a medieval hypothesis for schizophrenic speculations by prison officials of what it means to imprison a human being or the flagellatory impulses of self hatred. But just as the Dickensian world exist as measure of a demented example of a dysfunctional British society, so is The Virginia Department of Corrections and its prisons, Dickensian.
