No.

The most you can realistically hope for is that they somehow learn to "control" the urges. When released back into society (at least in Washington) they are given restrictions to help reduce the temptation (no pornography of any type, no contact with children, no alcohol, etc.) However, except for the most predatory, they are not that closely monitored.
