unrehabilitated

Not yet restored

Unrehabilitated describes someone or something that has not been rehabilitated—not restored to good condition, proper functioning, or social acceptance.

A person who is unrehabilitated has not undergone reform or recovery: an unrehabilitated addict, an unrehabilitated criminal.

The word often carries judgment, suggesting someone remains in a problematic state: He's an unrehabilitated Stalinist implies unreformed beliefs.
