Does the American system of justice need reform to ensure that criminals are properly punished?

Yes it sure does. There is just too many cases where someone got off for killing someone because of human error, say because this guy forgot that and another guy didn’t sign the correct dotted line. This current method of law has it moment were it truly stands for justice, but then again it all comes crashing down with you get a case like I read about the other day in the paper, were this woman got off with 5 years of probation after she was drunk and crash her car into another car killing that woman and her baby. Situations like that shouldn’t have to happen.
I also think that for capital crimes there should be a labor camp, Pres. Obama wants to redo the nation’s infrastructure but building new highways and projects of that nature. I also know that California is letting some of its convicts go early because of budget cuts. It seems to me that if these criminals need to serve their time, and we need new highways, we might be able to come together and kill two birds with one stone. I know that this would take away from jobs for law abiding citizens but a new transportation system, or at least a new highway system could really open up the lanes of interstate commerce. Maybe, who knows, we could learn a thing or two from the Japanese and get ourselves some bullet trains. 

FYI these are not criminals*that I know of* I just saw this picture and thought it looked than sitting in a jail cell and on the tax payers dollar!!
