Your plan would make sense if we could somehow read other people's minds to determine if they were truly regretful. Unfortunately, we don't have an accurate method to make that assessment. And even if a person is truly regretful, that only describes their current state of mind. We have no way to determine how they will feel in the future, so we can't know if they will commit future crimes or not; that would require a time machine.
