If a policeman caught someone raping a woman, and he instead had himself punished, is that justice? No, I think not.
This has made me realise i dont fully understand how the death of Jesus saves, so im looking into it now.
But to try and answer you question I'll say it is mercy not justice.
How is it mercy?

God is just if he makes life fair.
God is unjust if he makes life unfair, even though he has the power to make it fair.
If we can only do good it isn't full free will is it. Bad things happening is just part of the world we live in.
We have the choice between 'good' and 'evil' i agree, but what for the children born into evil homes? Born into famine? Born into disease? These children do not chose between good and evil prior to life, thus they are born into this poverty unfairly and regardless of whether or not they chose 'good' or 'evil' throughout their lives, they are still afflicted with poverty and suffering, all whilst under the watchful eye of God.
