I don't understand the point you're trying to make. No, it doesn't "fix" it, you can't "fix" it at that point, but you can reduce the harm that's wrongfully done by only taking some years instead of all.
The "reduction of harm" is wholly dependent on how much of their time got sucked away.
There's a point where it not only becomes minimal, but is probably a detriment to stick a dying elderly person back into society with no support structure.
My point here is that there are plenty of cases where the mistake cost someone too dearly to fix, but nobody is arguing that life imprisonment shouldn't exist because those things happen.
Same logic should apply to the death penalty IMO.
That's all I'm saying.

Because if you later realize you got it wrong, you can at least fix it going forward. No, they won't get their time in prison back, but at least the time they have left is rightfully restored to them.

You think that is a fix?

Why is death worse than life in prison as a mistake?
In both cases a person's life has been radically altered and their freedom taken from them.
Arguing that a particular punishment shouldn't exist because mistakes happen falls over into the argument that no punishments should exist because mistakes happen.
It's true but it's the price you have to pay to have any kind of justice system.

Easy to blame private equity but the truth is once growth stalls, original owners are almost never willing to make the cutbacks necessary to keep smooth operations going and end up selling while they can.
PE just starts squeezing the juice and accelerating the process that was already underway.

Most everything on this list is affected by personal decisions.
They always have more bearing on your success and happiness than statistics.
