Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted.
This applies to me because now I know if I get in trouble the court cannot put a huge bail on my release specially if the crime wasn't a big deal. Also I cannot be punished in any kind of physical way.
This is showing how people that work in our government think that the things they do are perfectly okay, when in other eyes it is extremely cruel and unusual! Which is a big problem, it may be rare but I think it still exists in our nation.
This now a days would be counted as cruel and unusual punishment. Putting people out in front of everybody to see that you committed a crime is cruel because sometimes the thoughts of our peers are more hurtful than anything jail or prison could ever do to you.
