Answer:Cruel and unusual

Explanation: Punishment is a term used to describe the process through which physical and psychological actions are taken against criminals and offenders in order to correct the abnormalities associated with their actions.

PURNISHNMENT SHOULD BE A CORRECTIVE SET OF ACTIONS AND NOT DESTRUCTIVE, IT SHOULD NOT BE DONE IN SUCH A WAY TO DESTROY THE DIGNITY, CIVILIZED STANDARDS, HUMANITY, AND DECENCY OF THE PERSON.
