[news] (Leonard Peltier) Cruel and unusual punishment: In the eye of the beholder

[Resist!ca]

aimsupport.org ; Monday, August 02, 2004 By Leonard Peltier The Constitution 
protects against *cruel and unusual punishment,* and, therefore, if the 
Constitution has meaning, then you, as citizens, MUST care. To ignore the cruel 
and extreme conditions prisoners endure -- overcrowding, poor medical care, and 
unhealthy conditions -- is to return to a way that the Eighth Amendment was 
intended to end.
