Violation of the Eighth Amendment

As I continue to pursue justice I continue to learn more about law. Though I've focused primarily on the violation of the Fourteenth Amendment in regards to the incidence of torture I recently learned about the Eighth Amendment.

Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted.

Torture is generally considered a form of cruel and unusual punishment. I'm considering how to properly add this violation to the information currently on the site. Updates are forthcoming.
