You're really keen on Cinder getting redemption, but you don't seem to give a damn whether or not she actually pays for her crimes. Redemption is for people who have remorse, and not only does Cinder have none of that, she takes utter glee in the atrocities she commits. She taunts the friends of her victims, she murders innocents for no reason, and (I can't believe I even have to say this) she's a serial killer. She is so far beyond redemption that your perceived admiration of her really makes me question your moral integrity.

I mean, let's be totally real here. If Cinder were arrested and tried for her crimes, some of her indictments would be. ..

-3 counts of murder in the first degree (Ozpin, Amber, & Vernal)

-2 counts of murder in the second degree (Pyrrha & the Mistral Woman)

-1 count of conspiracy to commit murder in the first degree (The bookstore keeper)

-Multiple counts of attempted murder

-Terrorism

-Destruction of military property

-Conspiracy to hack into a military server

-Crossing borders illegally

-Conspiracy to steal millions in consumer goods

-Engaging in illegal underground activity

-Associating with known terrorist organizations

If convicted of these crimes on a federal level (assuming capital punishment is in play), Cinder would almost certainly be sentenced to death. I have to ask, if a person in the real world commited these crimes, would you be so quick to defend them? Would you be so quick to insist that they could be redeemed?
