211. 3. United States Constitution. Amendment VIII. "The amount of fine is frequently left to the discretion of the court, who ought to proportion the fine to the offense. " — Cooly. Const. Limitations. 377. "The object of punishment is to reform the offender, to deter him and others from committing like offenses, and to protect so- ciety. " "A state may provide a severer punishment for a second than for a first offense providing it is dealt out to all alike. " — 159 U. S. 673. "Punishments are... cruel when they involve torture or a lingering death; but the punishment of death is not cruel, within the mean- ing of that word as used in the Constitution. " — 136 U. S. 436. A warden of a state penitentiary was recently found guilty of inflicting cruel punishment because he punished a convict by sus- pending his body from chains placed around his wrists.
