Question ¿Les or los?

Pero hay una forma de reformarles y devolverlos a la sociedad como ciudadanos productivos que contribuyen.

This is a a grammar/usage question...

Talking about criminals, in the sentence above, "
reformarles y devolverlos" could also be "reformarlos y devolverlos.

What would be the correct way to say it?
What sounds better?

(I am checking in the Panhisp
ánico de Dudas... but your views will be appreciated.)
