You are a better person than I (empathetically).

I do agree that the last option (forced labor camps for 'monsters') - should only be used as an utter last resort to help be a relief on the local population financially from having to pay for it all via taxes.

If someone does murder a fellow human but has done nothing wrong prior, everyone does deserve a second chance and should go to the Norway style of rehabilitation.

Only after someone fails this path say 3 times (3 strikes and your out seems to be common) then they are stuck paying off their debt to society via being a work horse.

Warning - beyond this point there is graphic wording.

Also for clarification when I mention 'monsters' are unable to be saved this is referring to the extreme of the extreme. An example would be a video in which a cartel member cut open an individual while they were still alive, nailed their intestines to a tree and forced them to run around the tree or various other groups who practice extreme terror in this manner. (although I realize these groups tend to go back and forth attacking each other and rarely do this to innocent people)
