The eighth amendment of the U.S. Constitution prohibits the federal government from imposing excessive bail or from issuing cruel or unusual punishment in the case you are accused of a crime. This is meant to prevent the practice of holding someone in custody without the opportunity to be considered innocent until guilty, (excessive bail), and to prevent inhumane punishments, like drawing and quartering, stoning to death and other medieval punishments or inappropriate punishments that would be imposed on minors and the mentally challenged (cruel and unusual).
This amendment assures that even if your are found guilty, you will have the opportunity to have access to defense, freedom until proven guilty with reasonable bail, and freedom from barbaric punishment. And in case you are found not guilty, your life will have been as minimally affected as possible.
