Answer:

It upholds the 8th Amendment.

Explanation:

The Supreme Court usually confirms the eight amendment which states that punishments must be fair, cannot be cruel, and that fines that are extraordinarily large cannot be set. This is supported stating that although they are prisoners, overcrowding in penitentiaries is cruel and unusual as this conditions are not suitable for decent living standards.
