At fed / felony level, a commissary bonus might have to flex to cover expected length of guilty time, same for a "pay me for any private lawyer instead of overloaded public defender on indigent". Maybe there is a buy in price threshold that would result in significantly more trials than some marginally lesser price. You'd have to research that among pre / pending / current / post offenders. A similar fun scheme... Minor traffic tickets, like speed / equipment / heed traffic control / paper, may average $150, even if pleading not guilty just for sake of standing your day in court and losing for fun. These are essentially fixed cost fixed maximum penalty trivial offenses, so unlike fed / felony cases there is literally zero additional risk to pleading not guilty and losing, compared to pleading guilty. No matter the outcome, it's $150 or less. So a gift of $10M is 66k tickets worth of "full coverage" repayment regardless of outcome, or 33+k worth if also covering the average lost wages of the two half days it takes to arraign and have a laugh trial. That's enough to saturate even the largest of jurisdictions for years. Include education pamphlet about possible lower cost outcomes... dismissed lack of witness, negotiated down, jury nullification, etc and a well heeled $10M protester could have a lot of laughs. And reaches far more people with your message in their hands than the same $10M would at the fed level. Or blend it... $3M for traffic, $7M to any of those offenders that ever end up committing a fed later on. With unused fed funds pending are to be invested for growth, income peeled off and sent to the traffic / education fund, etc.
