Too bad about that pesky “cruel and unusual” clause in the constitution for the bloodthirsty like you…

[cwmoore]

Nothing unusual or cruel about living locked in a concrete box overcrowded with unemployable men for weeks, months, or years, or is there?

Prison is as medieval an institution as the mindsets of those that see it to be appropriate.

[linksnapzz]

Birching minor criminals would not have been considered cruel or unusual to any of the men who wrote that clause.
