You should take it one step further! Add some interesting information to each prison, especially if it is one lead by a private company, and, most important, the actual profit.
Then in the next step add some charts, user login, connect to a payment service and make it a really cool prison investment exchange! Maybe you could issue some prisoncoins based on the profit numbers. Of course do not forget to publish your own javascript framework that evolved while building it...
However cynical this can get, I doubt that most people will understand that the US model of 'society' is deeply br0ken.
To add something useful: a collaborative data collection of human right violations like e.g torture might be a good tool for triggering a positive change. I am sure there are many other issues that could be attached to the basic gis data collection [1]
Please crowdfund this, so it can grow.
