Let's see now:
We have 100's of unused naval vessels in the Navy's "mothball fleet".
We have a long chain of islands running off the coast of Alaska (known as the Aleutians).
We have billions of unspent "stimulus" money.
We have 100's of unemployed or underemployed shipyard workers from Maine to California.
We have 100's of incarcerated individuals, some in Guantanamo, Cuba and others in prisons around the country that apparently no one has room for.
My modest proposal:
Why not convert a few dozen unused ships into prison ships, park them off the Aleutians, move the least desirable Federal prisoners (terrorists, Bernie Madoff, etc.) to the new facilities and rent out any additional space to states with overcrowded prisons?
