I have a recording of a Fugazi show where, before playing this song, Guy mentions that prison construction is the second largest growth industry in the United States.
To me this song is about the attitude that the American prison system has. Prisons are used to simply get criminals off the streets, in the way trash is dumped into a landfill, as opposed to rehabilitating the criminals to make them productive members of society.

yep, just about how prison construction is such a booming industry. "...once you build a prison, you have to find people to put in it." - Guy
