I know they can't be fixed. That is the exact reason I reject the death penalty - those that provide the best utilitarian justification for it cannot help their behavior, and those that can are best treated with rehabilitation, which has been shown to decrease the threat of future violent behavior by a huge margin.

Rehabilitation doesn't consist of sitting in a cell.
