If I knew what the 8th amendment, I'd be better able to answer the question. What, did you memorize the Constitution?

Well instead of the death penalty being an option there would just be more people in jail until they die of natural causes,or killed while in prison.The death penalty gives justice,but at the same time is being put to death worse then being in prison for life? I don't think so.
