How would you improve the penal/ justice system in America? SERIOUS ANSWERS ONLY, PLEASE?

Justice in modern America is a joke. There are no concrete legal statutes, and politics play such a large role in the judicial system that virtually every ruling is compromised. And the penal system is just a way to keep aberrant personalities at a distance from the public who find them offensive or discomforting. But the public dime pays for it, so in the end the innocent and law-abiding citizens of this country bear the burden of supporting the criminals, just so we don't have to look at them. How would YOU improve the system, if given the chance and authority?

Update:

Your credentials aren't a response, Mister Cool. But you would think that a person with your extensive experience would have something useful to say on the matter. Or at the very least, something interesting..
