On this episode of the podcast, we break down the Eighth Amendment and all of its individual clauses, including the the clauses about excessive bail and fines. The majority of the episode focuses on “cruel and unusual punishment” and the various definitions of justice presented by philosophers over the years and how punishments like solitary confinement, the death penalty and more fit into those definitions and whether or not they are cruel or unusual.
