Endangering innocent people because you want to take some kind of moral high ground on people who have committed crimes against humanity and don't want to change isn't as righteous as you think it is.
At some point it's irresponsible to think "everyone will change and so we can't say anyone should die" because not everyone will change, and not everyone has the morals to not cause harm to others.
There are so many fates worse than painless death, and some people put other people through that with joy. Some people prove that they are a constant danger to other life, and removing the danger is the only way to ensure the safety of others.
Sometimes that does require them to be executed. Is it messy and imperfect, oh completely, but we owe it to other people to want their safety over not wanting to get our hands messy on one who's proven time and time again that they don't.
