Awright, Nicole Hannah Jones isn't the first to remind us that, the colloquial, in the beginning was the word is all about, Honesty, which is what her 1619 PROJECT scholarship, unapologetically was. Despite and in spite of reaction and its revisionism, Nicole Hannah Jones simply reasserted what any elementary student of dialectics honestly understands, save for former President and adjudged rapist, Donald Trump, that American Freedom is built on the chattel enslavement and oppression of Black people and The 1619 Project simply gave us its Honesty. The Virginia Department Of Corrections mor ..read more

Once again reactionary Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares has the ear of Governor Glenn Youngkin in true puppet master fashion as he pursues his guile ambition of succeeding Youngkin, in that tiredly exploited law and order gambit. What the classic adage about "imitation" evidenced by Jason Miyares, law and order gambit conveniently omits and doesn't say is, it induces feeble mindlessness, because that's what virulently ails Attorney General Miyares by his consuming and singular focus of travestying, that most basic and minimal idea of 'Justice' in Virginia, that of rehabilitation. Only ..read more

When government doesn't want to do something or when government isn't guided by the common sense of knowledge and understanding, but instead expresses the amorphous, "values", which is euphemism for the illiteracy of zealotry and ideological dogma as guide, it gives us that maxim, 'power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely', revealing that natural human propensity towards corruption. What I mean by corruption is this, the Virginia legislature has a clear understanding of its purpose and function, just as individuals we have ours and when we undermine it, that is corruption, becaus ..read more

As the finger pointing and pseudo criticism goes urban spaces are crime riddled, because of liberal politics, that coddles and the prescription is unimaginable prison sentences. Three strike laws enacted and dispensed at Liberal bastions as California, Colorado, Illinois, Michigan, hell even Pennsylvania right and our Conservative brethren the likes of Oklahoma, Florida, Georgia, South Carolina illiterated by their hypocrisy, talk the tough on crime, hating China while dispensing Chinese numbers to those caught in the spiders web of their justice industries as response to "crime". So what we ..read more

Recently Kimberly Zittlow honored us with her work indicting The Virginia Department Of Corrections as a corrupt entity. Now if The Executive of The Commonwealth of Virginia, currently personified by Governor Glenn Youngkin under whose authority The Virginia Department of Corrections and its prison official functions according to Virginia Constitutional and Statutory authorities exercised his governing prerogatives practically under the insightful integrity of perfecting and redeeming the Social Contract and not as a petty expression of colloquial ideological reinventions of the proverbial wh ..read more

It’s become quite clear that widespread corruption within the Virginia Department of Corrections is pervasive and deeply entrenched, with systemic issues, abuse of power, and a culture of hostility all playing significant roles. Addressing these issues requires a concerted effort to root out corruption, strengthen oversight mechanisms, and hold accountable those responsible for misconduct. Systemic Rot: Corruption within the Virginia Department of Corrections (VADOC) is deeply ingrained within its structures and practices. This corruption involves various forms of misconduct and abuse of pow ..read more

Virginia Politics and its Political-Economy, advances on and is based on two imperatives (1) Exploitation and (2) Domination. The purpose and historical-reason for Virginia as Colony was to garner wealth for its investors by exploiting its heralded resources. To accomplish the exploitation, the environment had to be dominated or controlled meaning Public Safety. Let us fast forward to Governor Glenn Youngkin's recent veto of a number of prison and criminal justice reform bills, under the sophistry and euphemistic excuse of Public Safety. The fact the bills made it to Governor Glenn Youngkin t ..read more

Good afternoon, Can someone within the VADOC PLEASE explain to me the value of taking the inmates' phones away from them for months, sometimes even years at a time?  How in the world is destroying important relationships that provide positive support and reinforcement with loved ones helping anything or anybody? All that you are doing is creating angry and emotionally deprived inmates and upset loved ones. Many will walk away and forget about the inmate after such prolonged absences of communication. Leaving the inmate with no viable affection, love or support with anybody m ..read more

Recently Governor Glenn Youngkin vetoed a solitary confinement reform bill, that at least would've instructed Chadwick Dotson, Director of The Virginia Department of Correction, that the Machiavellian, "end justifies the means" isn't welcome in modern Virginia governance, which The Department's operations is aspect. Corruption has a couple of expressions (1) Diabolic (2) Fatuous, and regardless of expression, the result/consequence is barbarism. As inexplicably late or early as 1890, in In Re Medley,134 US 160 The Supreme Court of The United States found that, solitary confinement drove priso ..read more

The Virginia Department Of Corrections has an encyclopedia of Operating Procedures, Policies, Standards, Memoranda and Practices. The Commonwealth Of Virginia has a Constitution, then a universe of laws, statutes, Executive Orders, advisories, Opinions of The Attorney General and Practices. Then there is the Constitution of The United States, its executing laws and Practices. Now the Virginia Prisoner as all others animating the American existence of life and death are a construct of and subject to all of the above laws, traditions and practices. None of what I'm saying is insight, its just t ..read more
