I’m just saying that there are ways we can punish molesters without violating the Eighth Amendment or resorting to a 12th century form of justice.

I quite agree.
However, I do not think that Capital [or Corporal] Punishment violates the Eighth as some would, no doubt, assert.
In fact, it is patently obvious that to lock a man up like an animal for years and years, thereby taking his life, w/o the killing, is much worse than simply killing him and letting him die with some measure of dignity. {My theory is such long sentences are used so as to present a false moral-stance, and cow people who would dare ‘question authority.’}
