You get reform through changing the material conditions that got them where they are. Do you think a thief who got to keep all their loot will ever be reformed? or do you think it’s more likely that the only thing getting reformed is their public image. Just something to think about.
If someone has truly changed their ways and reformed, I’d hope they could go on to start over.
It’s hard to judge someone else’s level of reformation though.
