This sounds a lot like vipasana meditation center. I've been to one in Nepal, and the police didn't have to escort me out of it, I did it myself on the 3rd day. It was all fine, I didn't mind meditating, but evertyhing else was too much like prison for my taste. One thing that just didn't sit right with me was that,it was supposed to be a silent retreat but the only people you are not supposed to talk to were the other guests. The staff was definitelly talking to you and expected answers. Also things like, this afternoon I feel like skipping one hour of mediation and taking a nap were not allowed. Later reading about these meditation centers and Sri Goenka, I found out that he developed his system in prisons and the prison like made sense to me.
