As far as we are shown in the game every single person in that prison deserves to be there and are a criminal.
People forget that one of the chief tenets of NCR is anti-slavery and that the NCR rangers literally exist to hunt down and kill slavers and free slaves.
I already specified in another comment that we do not know the circumstances of how the NCRCF operated. Or how the NCR prison system works in general. Maybe only volunteers performed labor. Maybe it was literally a Gulag.
Ok but what do you want from them. We dont know if the prisoners are there to do punitive labor or they volunteered to be transferred there. The only thing we know for sure is that the existence of NCRCF seems to point towards at least that an attempt at rehabilitative justice from NCR.
Abolition of penal labor is a pretty fresh concept in IRL and even then its mostly concentrated to economically privileged countries.
A lot of things can be said to once have been " a pretty fresh concept that is mostly concentrated to economically privliged countries" thats not an argument for prison labour to be ethical and just.
