How to shut down the US Federal criminal "Justice" System, for $10-15 million per year.

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.
