What's really amazing is how quickly that point comes.

Three days is enough to start dissociative behavior. If the cell is sufficiently isolated (sound proof, uniform lighting, etc) it can happen in under a day. Solitary confinement is cruel and unusual and should only be used in the most extreme of cases, if at all.

OK so don't make it solitary confinement then. Problem solved.

I think the statistics of it do argue your position, Non, but they are ultimately unneeded. Human beings are not dogs that you kill when they bite. We call serial killers aberrations but then fail to put that into proper perspective: we are killing them because they cannot help but do what they do. They are incorrigible.
It is that fact that makes me opposed to the death penalty. The argument it relies on is deeply immoral. People like this need to be given health care and treated humanely. Not thrown into a cage and made into even more of a beast.
