WHAT WE ARE ABOUT





FAMILIES AND FRIENDS OF VIRGINIA PRISONERS 


ARE YOU A MEMBER OF THE ESTIMATED 510,000 VIRGINIA FAMILIES AND FRIENDS WHO HAVE A FAMILY MEMBER AND FRIEND IMPRISONED IN THE VIRGINIA DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS? 



VIRGINIA PRISONS ACCOUNTABILITY COMMITTEE (vapac) is: Virginia families for transparency and accountability in Virginia Department of Corrections and Prisons (VADOC).

TAX PAYERS OF VIRGINIA meaning families and friends of Virginia Prisoners spend a $1 billion a year on the Department of Corrections. Yet VADOC, in the recent words of one Virginia Mother whose son is imprisoned "Behave as if it's above the law and it's accountability.

VIRGINIA PRISONS ACCOUNTABILITY COMMITTEE States: To often those who exploit a biased, one sided and unequal application of the rule of law.  Have successfully distorted the idea of holding prison officials accountable as its proponents are soft on crime and coddling prisoners.

VAPAC disagrees.  We stand to expose that narrative as a petty argument for prison officials to break laws and violate their own policies and procedures.

VAPAC asserts that no one is above the law especially prison officials who are entrusted with the privilege, of maintaining the imprisonment experiment.

LETS STAND TO MAKE VIRGINIA PRISONS TRANSPARENT AND ACCOUNTABLE.

I think the prison system as a whole needs to be overhauled from a system of oppression and demoralization to one of respect and rehabilitation.

Far too often the guards are in violation of the laws. They do bodily harm to prisoners. The DOJ told me they hire like all other jobs and all guards wont be good. That is unacceptable. The guards are like a gang or overseers. The law is becomimg lawless

Prosecutors are horrible. They are vicious and should be held accountable. False prosecution or malicious prosecution should be against the lae
