You can't literally because learning requires changes in long term memory by definition. Dead person can't make required changes.Sure you do. It's just that the final lesson is rather conclusive.
You are smart girl, @MeganC. You can do better.
The rest of one’s life is as long term as it gets.
They will know why they are taking their last breath, and when they are standing in front of the throne of judgement they will be very aware of why their life was cut short. And they will have eternity to contemplate it.
Try to not be so pedantic.
Still useless for them.
Maybe, if we keep existing memories.
Why.
Precision in thinking help clarity which helps understanding.
Most of us here are not concerned with rehabilitation. This idea that you can rehabilitate one criminal overlooks the fact that in the process of doing so, you breed hundreds of others who see the outcome for the criminal you rehabilitated wasn't so dire, and as such, have no compulsion to refrain from committing the same crimes.
Why would you think we don't?
I think you answered your own question here.
1. Lied to her father and husband.
2. Protected the guilty, and she robbed from her own household. The man that took her virginity, and fled is guilty. He’s guilty of not paying the bride price. If he can’t afford it - then he is sold as an indentured servant and the proceeds go to her father.
3. Contributed to to fall of her own nation:
Leviticus 19:29
Do not allow your daughter to commit whoredom lest the land commit whoredom and the land be filled with sin.
Hosea 4:14
I will not punish your daughters when they play the whore, nor your brides when they commit adultery; for the men themselves go aside with prostitutes and sacrifice with cult prostitutes, and a people without understanding shall come to ruin.

I didn't say they could be rehabilitated, but said they can't learn.
And rehabilition isn't goal, but restoration of social relationship before crime. Which Christ's sacrifice does for you.
It doesn't optimize your functionality which rehabilitation does.
Oh, there is enough punishment for wannabe criminals. Paying fines isn't fun.
Why would you keep memories of pain, suffering and betrayal?
Imagine having in Heaven as neighbor guy who betrayed you and did you wife. Would you like daily reminder of his deeds?
The flesh of Messiah commands a bride price for virgins. Regardless, if there is or is not a marriage. If the man can’t pay the bride price, then he suffers financial ruin or is sold to slavery to cover the debt.
That commandment alone would bring back polygyny. Why? Most women would have to choose between staying virgins past their prime, or choose a man that already has at least one wife.
Sirach 9:5 GNT
Don't look too intently at a virgin, or you may find yourself forced to pay a bride price."
Sirach was a book originally included with the KJV. It came out not long before Jesus Christ’s first coming.
Notice - The warning for lusting for a virgin is not adultery (deadly sin), but financial ruin (or slavery). Why? Because there is a mandatory bride price - regardless if there is a marriage.
