No, but only because that is not really a punishment. Hard labor for the rest of your life where your meager earnings help pay for your incarceration, a percentage to the victim's till you die and the rest to your own family whose lives you ruined as well.

I'm all for self sustaining prisons. Prison farm programs seem to work well.
They could even make their own biofuel to generate electricity and warm water for the prison. Chip in, or sit in the dark. Sit in a room and wait for your food to be served is not how prisons should work. That only turns people into caged animals.
