how will we be able to pay for the increased prison facilities?

geez, you can get less time for burglary or battery.

Makes me think of the Ayn Rand quote:

"There's no way to rule innocent men.

Well, when there aren't enough criminals, one makes them.
One declares so many things to be a crime
that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws."
