Im glad you agree that some criminals can't be rehabilitated.
That doesn't really have anything to do with rehabilitation. That's an amalgam of retributive and restorative justice, which are very different penal goals from rehabilitation. Rehabilitation is the purpose of reforming a criminal so that he can be released while being less likely to do shitty things in the future. What you're talking about is fixing the past crime.
This is low-grade hysterionics.
The debt must be paid. If you murder someone, then your own life must be forfit. Anything less isn't justice. And justice must take priority to rehabilitation.
