Hey, I say get all non violents out of prison. Work with the private sector to setup work camps for non violents, that alone would free up tons of room.
Anyway, we already incarcerate a larger portion of our population than any other country, so I don't feel "more money for more prisons" is the answer. Turn it into a positive cash model in the private sector

Heck I have a kid on work release working for me now. Give me a team of these guys to house and pay next to nothing

Only sorta kidding.
