Definitions
Cruel and unusual punishment refers to a legal principle that prohibits the government from imposing excessively harsh penalties or torturous treatment on individuals, particularly in the context of criminal justice. This concept is enshrined in the Eighth Amendment of the United States Constitution, which aims to ensure that punishments are proportionate to the crime and do not violate human dignity.
