That's pretty harsh... maybe some prisoners deserve that, but not all of them. And for ones for who it is possible prisons should try a lot harder to reform them.
If busting your ass 18 hours a day, seven days a week won't reform you, you're a lost cause. I know that I'd definitely think twice about doing something criminal if I knew that getting caught would mean endless days of hard labor. The best way to reform a criminal is to make inprisonment such an exhausting and constantly, utterly unpleasant experience that only the stupid would dare try criminal behavior again.
And I'm not discriminatory, I think all criminals should recieve the same treatment in this regard, the duration being longer for the more serious felons of course. Yes, it is harsh. It should be. When you break the law, you're attacking society.
