It's the only logical reason for wanting prison numbers to go up. A party of real libertarians would want imprisoning people to be a cost to the state - a serious one - so they're discouraged from doing it unless there's a very good reason.

... and only until we achieve a democratic economic system that doesn't suppress free enterprise in the interests of capitalists. So prisons can be abolished, along with the state.
