Yes, there is a place for everyone. For some it might be prison but it is a place nonetheless. Everyone has the right to live.

While psychopathy is relatively hard to treat it is worth noting that not all psychopaths are actively harming other people. They can also be functional and productive members of certain groups under the right circumstances. You might want to be more careful with stigmatizing a whole group of people.

When you use the word "everyone", curious if you really mean it considering that set contains individuals like Adolf Hitler, Shiro Ishii, Josef Fritzl, etc?
I mean I do consider a world where Adolf Hitler would have just been a unremarkable painter and Shiro Ishi doing boring research possible.

Yes, sometimes you have to use force to keep people from harming themselves and others but I don't see how this is related to the topic. I reject any form capital punishment though obviously some situations require killing when a person can not be stopped otherwise.
