Option C is fine. If society is concerns about freeing rapists, society can fund more responsible rehabilitation , prevention , and hospitals. Very few capital criminals are Hitler. Most are desparate, abused, or mentally ill

No, not really. To get the death penalty you have to be either a multiple-repeat offender or do something really horrible and show no remorse. Most people who do this are arguably sociopathic and beyond rehabilitation.

The problem is that any solution we come up with will have to scale, as everyone gets treated the same.
In other words, we'll end up letting these people go free to find more victims:
