Able to improve
Reformable describes something capable of being reformed—improved, corrected, or reshaped.
A reformable institution can be fixed rather than abolished.
A reformable offender can be rehabilitated: The judge believed the young defendant was reformable.
The word implies hope that change is possible, as opposed to something irredeemably broken.
