Lawyer Raymond Johnson told WIAT the measure could be seen as a violation of the Eighth Amendment, which prohibits cruel and unusual punishment, and predicted it would be challenged in court.
What a fuckwit. Probably a nigger.
"Unusual" means "not the punishment used," as in "not written in the books as the prescribed lawful punishment."
After being debated and voted into law, a punishment becomes "usual."
When a judge sentences a litterbug to pick up a mile of trash, that's "unusual" because it's a punishment he just pulled out of his ass. But it's not cruel, so it's not constitutionally prohibited.
All written legal code is "usual" by definition.
