[QUOTE]Originally posted by Jason Abbadon: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by MinutiaeMan: [qb] The nasty part of my mind wonders if the Framers didn't originally intend the clause about cruel and unusual punishments to mean "the punishment must fit the crime". [/qb][/QUOTE]Well, sonsider the depravities of the era- the founding fathers were just [i]fine[/i] with prisons forcing labor on prisoners, prisoners two to a cot while chained together and getting only one (pitiful) meal a day. I'm not saying life in a "supermax" is not harsh, but it's a looong way from torture -particularly when comparing it to even [i]minimum[/i] security prisons in other countries. It's a paradise compared with what a petty thief would get in say, Saudi Arabia or Pakistan. Also consider that as a such a high-profile prisoner, the likleyhood of his being mistreated in any way is nil. The adverage drug offender should be so well protected from his fellow inmates.
