I think Jasper is still redeemable, of course she's building an army of corrupted gems and tried to shatter Steven, Connie, and Amethyst, but, I still think she'll be getting a redemption arc, there's a few posters made by Crewniverse with her being with Steven and the Crystal Gems (the posters are the SDCC 2015 Steven Universe signing poster, the Gallery Nucleus poster by Hans Tseng, and the SDCC 2016 Steven Universe signing poster). Those posters basically foreshadow a redemption arc because why else would Crewniverse put Jasper with Steven and the Crystal Gems? It basically shows us that she's getting redeemed, because, in the latest poster, the SDCC 2016 Stevem Universe poster didn't feature Yellow Diamond, Yellow Pearl, and any of the members of the Ruby squad, so, that tells you right there Jasper is getting a redemption arc in the future.

Also, Rebecca Sugar said there's no true villans in Steven Universe, so, there's no one that is truely evil or bad in SU. Also, the Homeworld gems are inherently evil, they're just following Homeworld's ways and loyal to the Diamonds. So, Jasper's no different than Lapis and Peridot, she's just following Homeworld's ways and loyal to Yellow Diamond.

Peridot tried to kill the gems multiple times and she's a Crystal Gem, Lapis stole the Earth's ocean, broke Greg's leg and van, and tried to drown Steven and Connie but now she tolerates the Crystal Gems and Peridot and feels bad about her actions. Of course Jasper's actions are worse than their actions but that doesn't make Jasper irredemable, I still think she's capable of redemption, her redemption will just be longer and harder and will take a lot of work.

Also, the synopsises for The Kindergarten Kid and Know Your Fusion sound like Jasper will be getting her redemption arc after all. The synopsis for The Kindergarten Kid is "A monster problem surfaces.", "A monster problem" hmm.... you know how Jasper's collecting corrupted gems to make an army in Crack the Whip, it sounds like the Crystal Gems will be fighting her corrupted gem army in this episode. Amd the synopsis for Know Your Fusion is "Steven and the Gems examine fusion.", "examine fusion"? Sometimes synopsises are minor and sometimes aren't relevant to the episode's main plot or they are a minor part, we've learned that after watching episodes like Lion 3: Direct to Video,  Catch and Release, and When It Rains, synopsis sometimes doesn't matter and is used to hide a bigger plot going on in the episode. So, maybe "Steven and the gems examine fusion" is possibly just used to hide something bigger on fusion, but could it be? Remember in Alone at Sea when Jasper becomes obsessed with fusion and gets the wrong idea about it? Well, maybe in this episode, they get through to Jasper and tell her about what fusion really is and what's a healthy relationship and what fusion is used for. Basically giving Jasper a better understanding about what fusion is really about, not just what she got from being Malachite. Maybe that's the episode where Jasper's redemption arc starts and then her redemption arc continues into season 4 then she's fully redeemed by like almost half way through season 4 or earlier.

So, in short, I think Jasper's not far from redemption and I still think it's possible, it will just be longer and harder and will be a lot of hard work.
