So many criminals are legitimately stupid, as in borderline retarded, and as such they don't really grasp abstract punishments like long-term incarceration. They need to see a tangible, immediate punishment, like someone being whipped and/or publicly humiliated, in order for deterrence to actually register for them.

The entire criminal code is rewritten to have four levels of punishment:
Appellate relief is restricted to execution trials only, and state jurisdiction cases cannot be appealed into federal jurisdiction.
For all lesser crimes, in place of appellate relief, the convicted can sue for tort relief after the fact if they so choose.
