Do you believe there are individuals that perform acts of violence and ruthless murder who are irredeemable?

I wish it was easier to identify between those who are irredeemable and those who can be rehabilitated. I do agree that the entirety of the justice system should be aimed at rehabilitation but at the same time I feel that those who perform violent acts should not be given the opportunity to re-offend.
