the last part about justice system is not entirely correct - private prisons are a lucrative business in US, and owners/shareholders have very good reasons to keep as many people jailed for as long as possible. Hence the stats of US leading stats globally.
politically it's much safer to promote harsh sentencing rather than opposite, plus no Amnesty international is going to bribe (to call it correctly - hire lobbyists) US politics into shorter sentencing.
