I vote no. Paying their dues doesn't mean they're rehabilitated.
I remember a lecture at college many years ago when we were told that only 2% of the population truly change something about themselves. Whether it's how we eat, how we exercise, our relationships, etc... most people revert to their default behaviors. Only 2% of people make a meaningful change that remains permanently. Experience has shown that the 2% figure is pretty much accurate.
Criminal behaviour is a mark on someone's character. There are some who are truly remorseful and really change, but 98% won't.
