Hegel writes on the right of the society to bestow the right to a sentence when a criminal is judged. The criminal has a right to a sentence.
There are two options to where that right becomes unnecessary, first, if the person is rehabilitated fully before the sentence and the behaviour has altered radically, there is a complete shift in the identity, secondly if a pardon has been signed and the truth of the conviction behind the sentence has been overturned.
In the first case we can experiment with the possibility only now with the changes availed by information technologies and advances in psychological and emotological evaluations. We should be aware however that the psychopathic mind will always seek to game the experiments and alter outcomes.
In the second case we have to seek rehabilitation for the society itself.
