Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted.
Unreasonable amount of bail money shall not be given based on the income and severity of defendent's case. This is also true for any fines had by the defendant. Each act is to be punished in reason to the severity of the crime nothing more.

There are several forms of torture, most of which only done in other countries other than America or at least to those that choose to ignore it or the fact that it happens in secret; it still happens. As shown below in the movie trailer for a very controversial film called A Clockwork Orange, we follow a young man with an insatiable need for violence and sex and drugs. At the time of his arrest, he is then taken as a test subject for a new form of punishment, excuse me I meant, refinement. In this process, they force the young man to sit, straight jacketed and eyes held open by hooks for hours on end and watching gross and explicit scenes on a movie theater screen. This occurs until the refinement is in place and he is believed to be cured of his cruelty. Whether it worked or not, it was a form of torture, a cruel and unusual punishment. And though the citizens of America only know about the lethal injection, there are still, I believe, many forms of "refinement"used in today's modern society, such as what is shown below.


This is also an example of cruel and unusual punishment as libel, being a serious case in reputation and morality, it is not an act that denotes death and starvation and dehydration as the blocks caused. It wasn't a nice thing to do and it wasn't necessarily legal, however a life can still be made and written.

I completely agree with the state ment of "an eye for an eye a tooth for a tooth"and honestly I think that due punishment should be given and a speedy death is merciful in comparison to the heartache and pain the crime committed alloted. Even so, while watching a documentary about the inmates of a jail cell on death row, that is also one that can be compared to cruel punishment, making the ones on death row sometimes wait for years and years in a small, cold, space with several other dangerous people; a scene that can make most go mad in the head. They cannot escape the mundane punishment they accrued from the severity of the crime committed and have to suffer with guilt.

I do believe in revenge but I only believe in equal amounts of it. However, that can really never be an actual thing because it creates a never ending cycle of killing and pain and violence and so on and so forth. Everyone is effected in some manner by one act and we may not know the severity of the effect until it pushes any boundaries still available and becomes a battleground.
