I am fully aware that the purgatory was a slave trading ring. Regardless, it was filled with scumbags and the warden tells you Jack is the worst, despite having every reason to tell you she's perfectly stable. Then the other guy who was scared ****less of Jack and thought you were insane for letting her out, despite thinking you might want a few serial killers as well. Cool story about her being raped, guess that gives her an excuse to kill everyone she sees. derp. You have to talk her out of killing Aresh, she was going to do it if you said nothing. Cerberus conditioned her to enjoy killing. Once again, Aresh, not self defense.
Having a ****ty past does not give you an excuse to be a serial killer. It's hardly like she ended up in purgatory by being a nice person. She was beyond redemption when you found her on Purgatory, her actions after that are hardly redeeming, especially in me2.
You seem to have a skewed perception of what makes a serial killer. A serial killer seeks out targets and kills them for whatever reason. Jack never does that, only taking action in retaliation for serious things done to her. Morinth is a serial killer, Jack is not. She's a murderer sure, but not a serial killer. And I do think that anyone else in her situation would have done the same thing. We're a product of our upbringing, and have to work harder than most are willing to in order to overcome that. If you push her more paragon in ME2, Jack tries to do that, hence letting Aresh go. If you let her be, she stays the way she is. Like she says "it's worked for me so far, and I'm not gonna change."
I used serial killer for lack of a better term. Habitual murderer? Repeated murderer? Killing hobbyist? Dunno. Regardless, she has not "Only killed in self defense", this is simply not the case. No, not anyone in her position would do the same thing. She choose to be a killer, she could have gone anywhere with her life she liked once she escaped cerberus. Was Aresh a -insert adjective here- murderer? Don't think so. And he had it worse than Jack.
She doesn't kill everyone she sees. Hell, if that were the case, don't you think Miranda would have been killed in her sleep? Jack knows the meaning of restraint. She doesn't wreak havoc for gits and shiggles, only when she feels the situation calls for it.
You have to stop her from killing Miranda after Pragia. Hissy fit that would apparently lead to murder right there. Her idea of "when the situation calls for it" is obviously too liberal for any sane person to trust her enough to even allow her within 10 feet of them.
Jack is definitely a broken bird, and she's done some terrible things, but they pale in comparison to what has been done to her. So most people give her a bit more leeway than they would someone with a relatively normal background, like Zaeed. You obviously don't, and let's leave it at that.
So Morinth is totally fine doing what she's doing? Her upbringing was definately more difficult to shake the "killer" from, since she was expected to be a killer by society, needed to by one to survive those attempting to kill her, and had a biological desire to do so. Jack couldn't get over her past and, for whatever reason, decided killing anyone who looked at her funny was the best way to deal with it. No. I don't give a damn what your background was, I judge by actions. She kills people for the hell of it thus she is beyond redemption, there is nothing sympathetic about her background, the fact that she pretends there is makes her that much more pathetic. And Zaeed? He's a merc, he kills scumbags for money, he kills people who deserve it and thats how he makes a living. Jack just does it for fun.
