Are overcrowded prisons unconstitutional?

Question

Answer

Pretty much everything involving the modern prison system is unconstitutional in my humble opinion.

Answer

To be unconstitutional something must be first in the constitution. So, no. It can't be.

There is a protection against cruel and unusual punishment in the 8th amendment but the prision system is not something discussed in the constitution.

Answer

I don't think overcrowded prisons are unconstitutional, I do think it is another form of systematic discrimination and racism of minorities. What would be unconstitutional is if the prison sentence that did not fit crime committed. That is called cruel and unusual punishment, which is a constitutional law under the eighth amendment.

Answer

Yes because the people doing the overcrowding are most likely nonviolent crimes

Keep prison for ppl who commit a crime that physically hurts another being and fine the shit out of every other lawbreaker. Problem solved lol

Answer

Yes. And that's why we need more rehabilitation programs and other programs available to help first time offenders 😑
