Turn an Empty State into the Nation's Prison

No offence to those of you who live in Nevada (sorry Dee), Wyoming or South Dakota.  Whenever I drive through Nevada I am amazed that such a large expanse of land could be so desolate and empty.  So why not use that to Nevada's advantage and turn the empty expanse of nothing into a giant prison facility for the nation.  Other states would contract with Nevada to outsource their medium and maximum security needs.  Those states would benefit by not having a prison dragging down real estate prices in the area, lowered costs due to the specialization of Nevada and, I would guess, lowered crime rates due to the potential to end up in the same desert where nuclear bombs were tested.
