Richmond Sheriff's Platform Committee

The City of Richmond spends more on jailing its citizens than any expenditure. Those in charge of the jail have created one of the highest incarceration rates in the country with the biggest prison population on the planet. The current jail was built to house 888 inmates however the jail regularly holds 1500 people. Woody, Herring, Norwood, Jones,and Richmond City Council have conspired to create a inhumane unconstitutional jail in order to line their pockets and serve the interests of the capitalist powers that have put them in their roles.

Now the criminal local power structure is positioning themselves for a 137,000,000 dollar cash windfall coming to the jail from the ironically named Virginia Public Private Education Facilities and Infrastructure Act. The local money grubbers, AKA the Richmond Government and their string pullers, want to build a jail that will house over 1,800 people more than double the size of the current jail. This is unusual because the powers that be including Woody have stated their intention to reduce the number of inmates. Unusual until one understands that the people in control of our City, State and Federal Government are disingenuous liars that say one thing and do another.

On May 8, 2010 I announced my intention to be the next Sheriff of Richmond. When I am Sheriff many of the functions of city government will change. Most notably an immediate reduction in the population of the current jail to 850 people because we will not jail people for violating unconstitutional laws. In order to serve the people the Sheriff will carry out the will of the Richmond Sheriffs Platform Committee which is now forming and will be open to the public. The RSPC will set the agenda for what will become the umbrella constitutional regulator for all city,state,and federal,government agencies. When I am Sheriff I will take only one third of the salary that the current head of the inhumane jail pockets. Constitutional enforcement, public safety, and transparency will replace crony capitalism and back room deals.

The current leaders of our government are sociopaths that use positions of public service to live in big houses and drive expensive cars. Our tax dollars are being wasted by crooks. This corruption will end when I am Sheriff and the will of the people is enforced. Furthermore I challenge anyone in this criminal government structure to debate me on this or any other issue.
