You said — “you still don’t get it. Nobody hands down a death sentence AFTER someone serves time in jail. They get a death sentence at their trial or not at all.”

That would never work, especially under our Constitution. For one thing, you would have to make a “prediction” ahead of time, that someone would be rehabilitated or not, within whatever specified time you wanted to designate. That would put the determination of whether someone would live or not, as a judgement call, a prediction into the future, before “behavior” has ever *happened* to say that someone *dies* right now.
That will never fly under any circumstances. No one will be making predictions on someone’s viability for rehabilitation, into the future and then killing them on the basis of such determination.
That’s even more radical than killing them after a specified period of time (after they’ve “demonstrated it”).
You’ve got quite an imagination to think that you’ll ever get society or our Constitutional system to back such an idea... :-)
Are you TRYING to misunderstand me?
