Oh, yeah. The prison is all tough fighting. It only gets harder, too. You will find out a little later.

However, if you are doing the "mental" path through the game, the end of the game has very little fighting. In fact, the last 4 "combats" you can talk your way out of, gaining more xp and a better ending for doing so. However, if you are going the combat route, then you have your work cut out for you all the way through the end.

Also, and this is a good hint for all characters, pay attention to what hurts the creatures you face. It is around this point that you really see a bunch of creatures that have resistances to certain types of weapons (blunt, piercing, and slashing). A good thing to do is to equip yourself with a variety of weapon types. I love the fist weapons for this reason. They do less damage, but there is at least one of each damage type out there, and they are fast to boot (good for disrupting spellcasters). Also, pay attention to how the opponent is slashing/stabbing/bludgeoning you, and you get a good idea of what kind of damage they are using. Use charms/items that protect against that type of attack when you are fighting a bigger monster (or a horde of little ones).
