How weird would that be in practice? The punishment would not only be time lost but also coming back to a society that's drastically different. You'd be pretty much alone in a new world like an Unfrozen Caveman Lawyer situation.
How interesting would it be if laws on Earth changed during your stay. If your prison sentence got reduced on Earth you might only be in there for a few minutes. Interesting stuff to think about for sure.

You'd be pretty much alone in a new world like an Unfrozen Caveman Lawyer situation. "Modern society can neither use you as-is nor reform you into a productive member. We hope, in the fullness of time, the future society which ours has developed into will find you a more tractable case." It would certainly dissuade people from re-offending with the same skills, at least in a technical and, possibly, social context.
