Why pay to put them in an over crowded prison when we can turn them all into profit?

I think the potential problem you can get with that is that the cost of finding these people and fining them will be greater than the fines they will pay. I guess you could make the fines enormous, but then you would have judges throwing out the fines or reducing them. If some poor bastard got caught with a couple joints and hit with a 5K fine he could argue that the punishment doesn't fit the crime.
