Not a law but more an amendment to punishment. I would ban the nonsensical notion that remorse on the part of the accused has any bearing on the time to be served for a crime committed. Just because someone commits a crime and shows nice big crocodile tears, and probably not for their actions, doesn't mean they should get a discount on time when sentenced. I have always felt that is the greatest slap in the face to the victims and their families.
And early release due to good behaviour is another thorn in my side.
Apples and oranges but I didn't get a degree after 3 years having the university say to me, "Oh that's ok, you have straight A's, you don't need to do the fourth year, we'll give you the diploma now."
