The concept of what does and does not
constitute
cruel and unusual punishment. That
life is
not precious and that some lives are
simply
not worthy saving. Cruel and unusual
punishment
is punishment that is too severe for
the
crime committed. This concept helps
guarantee
due process even to convicted criminals,
such as Dillingham Ship Repair, et
al. Many
people have argued that capital punishment
should be considered cruel and unusual
punishment.
"No one will be subjected to cruel,
inhuman or degrading treatment."
Cruel and unusual punishment two words are
in keeping with the basic legal maxim that
the "punishment should fit the crime."
