How to increase the US prison population

How can the percentage of the population that the United States of America incarcerates be increased?

Start by using funds intended for Social Security to construct more privately-built and operated prisons. I'm certain that other New Deal programs like Medicare could be rolled back too.

Set policy goals for incarcerating more highly educated and skilled people. Prison labor costs cents on the dollar, e.g. convicts often must work for 15 cents per hour doing work that is compensated at $7 to $10 per hour at market rates. Incarcerated physicians, software engineers, electricians, and skilled tradesmen would offer remarkable savings as part of supervised work-release programs. They could also serve as domestic servants to the political elite and ruling classes! 

Alternatively, immigration status could be expanded to include indentured servitude. How to get them incarcerated? That's a more challenging problem. Impose some draconian and opaque taxes on the bond holder; if not paid properly and on time, the indentured servant is incarcerated not the owner uh bond holder. 

If there is public outcry about an increasingly totalitarian state, solve the problem by making FEMA death camps a reality for any who object.
