On July 24, 2023, the Associated Press reported that the FBI was investigating Marion Correctional Center, Virginia Department of Corrections. The impetus for this federal involvement was the death of yet another VA DOC captive. There are HUNDREDS of dead VA DOC captives. Like the one of Marion, they are dead because they were beaten to death by VA DOC guards, a common occurrence for the VA DOC. I’ve been waiting seven years for ANYONE to investigate my case.
That same week at Pocahontas State Correctional Center, VA DOC, three guards were caught bringing drugs into the prison. Not too big a deal, except it was part of a white supremacist drug ring that extended far beyond the prison walls. A guard named Hastings, a well known white supremacist was the only one named on local media, & Virginia, in its usual example of rampant corruption, managed to scrub & cover the story in the media.
Pocahontas Correctional’s mailroom staff have also had criminal charges filed against them. They are, daily, openly violating state & federal mail tampering laws. This includes mail disappearing, never returned to senders, delays in sending & delivering mail sometimes by weeks, reading the mail of prisoners without any cause or justification & more. Tazewell County Commonwealth Attorneys have received those criminal complaints as shown by a letter of receipt from the local court, yet every day these petty criminals continue with their illegal activity unfettered.
Something has to give where so much wrong is done & harm caused every day, yet so very little is being done.
