It seems to me that a system like that is fundamentally incompatible with justice, regardless of what punishments are applied.
There is no way to correct a mistake that deprives a human being of years of liberty, either. If anything I find it more horrifying that we're willing to say, "Eh, at least you're alive", at apparently leave it at that.
I'm not calling for infinite appeals and suchlike denial-of-service attacks on the courts. But it seems that we've simply written off the notion of being just entirely, and the highest court in the land seems comfortable with that.
