I'm not really against it, but does being made to wear a sign saying "I am a liar" come under cruel and unusual punishments at all?

No new hoaxes for a while...

A woman drove off from one of the local gas stations here without paying, and she was made to stand in front of the gas station for a certain number of hours holding a sign saying something like, "I am a thief". The local ACLU raised a fuss, but she still had to go through with it.
It sounds like as good a punishment for crimes as any other. Making her hold that sign was no doubt humiliating to her, but then she's not supposed to feel happy and proud that she stole gas.

I've always been under the impression that "cruel and unusual" meant torture. Then again, you could argue that its psychological torture, but then again, any punishment is mentally taxing.

Well, I still think it's funny, I'm just being awkward. Maybe it's unusual but not too cruel, which makes it ok?

If he is advertising that he is a liar, how can anyone believe him?
