It's a good thing the courts are precluded from cruel AND unusual punishment. Cruel OR unusual is fine. This is unusual.

Shame is a very old sort of punishment. Biblical type stuff.

Cruel OR unusual is fine. This is unusual. I think I would have picked cruel for them.

I don't see this as particularly cruel or unusual? I'm also quite certain the standards of what was unusual has changed definitions quite a bit. We mustn't make give our criminal classes any neurosis by shaming them, ya know.
