"Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted."
This amendment essentially limits the government to a level of fairness it must abide by when prosecuting, or enacting a ruling. Its sad, however, that we do not abide by these rules with our POWs and Guantanamo Bay detainees. With these prisoners, our government tends to favor cruel and unusual punishments.

This video is an animated short about "cruel and unusual punishments" inflicted on Asian American teens.
