It is largely the poor and uneducated people who go to prison.

They don't just "go to prison", that demographic commits crimes that send them to prison.

And can't pay for lawyers to get them off.

And the other demographics commit crimes that don't end up with the justice system^ sending them to prison. They're often the same crime.

^ Crimes don't do anything, of course. It's the people in charge who decide who goes to prison.

We could try mars. We just send more and more in batches with resources. Until they start dying off in too large a quantity.

Hey, if it worked for the Americas and Australia.

You get to pick. Then we drop you off with a helicopter.
