IF penalties are set, these, in a democratic country, are set by the people's elected representatives. Thus by definition the penalty fits the crime in the eyes of the majority. If you feel that the penalty is too harsh, that is simply your opinion not a fact.

* In the past, higher penalties were designed to discourage violations of the laws, often by "making an example" of convicted offenders. But they had the effect of filling prisons for many years with minor offenders, and laws were changed to provide more appropriate sentencing.
