An Eighth Amendment claim is a legal argument asserting that an individual's constitutional protection against cruel and unusual punishment, as guaranteed by the Eighth Amendment of the United States Constitution, has been violated. Such claims typically involve disputes over the conditions of confinement, the use of excessive force, or the imposition of excessive fines or bail, and aim to protect the basic human rights and dignity of individuals subject to punishment or detention.
