The only thing this law achieves, as near as I can tell from your description, is to give prosecutors and judges the ability to punish people more harshly for identical crimes, the more downtrodden they already are - i.e. the harder it's going to be for the convicted person to reintegrate and avoid reoffending, the more the system can stack onto the sentence, even further increasing their recidivism likelihood.
