Consider this. It's estimated you can use 200 really-low-yield tacnukes to get 4,000 tons of gear into orbit.
Four. Thousand. Tons.
That is, you could be hefting ten International Space Stations into orbit.
Bear in mind, now that the rocket is reuseable, apart from the pusher plate.
A B-61-11 nuke costs $750,000, including developement costs. This is far more powerful than we need, but it's the cheapest nuke I found. Let's assume we need 200 of those nukes. Which we don't. The nukes would cost 150,000,000 between them, which would mean it would cost $37.5 per kilogram to do a launch. Naturally this doesn't include the cost of the rocket itself (but that is reuseable and would amortize over multiple launches), and doesn't account for the fact that you wouldn't need that many B-61s.

These hand caves are extremlly tight. We put a camera in these cells and a microphone and on earth if we can hear you complaining (about pain, sickness, needing to go to the toilet, hunger ect) or having fun we electricute you from the bars. Your only food is one loaf of moldy, year-old bread and one cup of dirty water and 2 cups of expired milk. These rusty, fridges are 100 years old (with the most up to date temperature control) are extremlly dirty and never, ever get cleaned! Once you die, we send you back to earth where cut off all the waste, clean your organs for month then donate them and cremate the rest of your body.
So, you're willing to spend hundreds of millions of dollars on your prisoners? This is the EPITOME of wasteful. Not just that, you send them back safely.
Basically, you've blown billions of dollars on your worst prisoners. Good job.

That takes balls, and you've got them.
All was dark when the armies surrounded the town. There was little bloodshed as they swept in, and they quickly took control. "Success," said a communicator, "a base has been established."

We have had a similar policy in effect for some time now, not that any harberian citizen would want to go to that thrid-world hole to begin with, and we really don't want their "people" in our nation. We have similar policies as regards Great Nepal as well.
