Punished is not a helpful word when it comes to a functioning justice system, even the Victorians knew a punitive system doesn't work. Today we focus on rehabilitation. It has more success.
but the offender still looses their freedom till they are rehabilitated.
Only if it can be proved they are a danger to themselves and/or others at the time, otherwise community support is more appropriate.
I know I already have a thread for this discussion but I have to reply to this one more time. in Norway, which puts focus on rehabilitation, there is still at least one person who will never, ever be let out because he is a mass murderer.

Does it make any sense to keep even him in prison (I can guess who you mean) if at some point it can be proven he is no risk to anyone and has completely changed his views? Incredibly unlikely I know, and probably impossible to prove, but hypothetically?

perhaps under those circumstances but as you said, it's unlikely. the person has to want to change.
