We already have a larger percentage of the population imprisoned than any other country on earth. Our incarceration rate has actually surpassed that of the “Evil Empire” USSR (look it up, it’s true). I believe this trend will continue upward, there is a lot of money to be made throwing people in the hoosegow. And it directly addresses the unemployment problem – you throw most of the unemployed in prison and hire the remainder to guard them. Since our prisons are increasingly owned by politically well-connected corporations, growth shall be the order of the day. This is nothing new, it has been going on for decades and will continue.
