Cruel and illegal punishment

The English bill of rights is prohibiting cruel and unusual punishment, as well as excessive bail. When the government wanted to keep someone in jail illegally they would declare a huge amount of money for bail which could not be paid. This would give off the illusion that the person could walk out on bail but in reality it was done on purpose to prevent them. Also, cruel and unusual punishment such as torture or similar was common so the bill of rights outlawed it.

To what extent did Prohibition have a positive impact on the nation from 1919-1933?
Kay [80]

Answer:

Several countries have tried to grapple with the problem of alcoholism by prohibition over several times in the past; the most iconic one would have to be the prohibition era in Chicago and the rise of Al Capone, as a result. Prohibition generally means a complete ban on all alcohol based drinks but it should also be pointed out that prohibition can also be applied equally to other substances that are in the process or have been banned. It is time that we took a closer look at prohibition and the positive and negative effects of the same.
