How does the supreme court usually rule in cases that involve overcrowding in prisons?
a. it accepts the “cruel and unusual” argument.
b. it directs individual states to decide the issue.
c. it rejects the “cruel and unusual” argument.
d. it upholds the 8th amendment.

The correct answer is option D "It upholds the 8th Amendment". The rule of the Supreme Court in overcrowded prisions is to interpret the Constitution under the premise that human rights are being violated in improper living conditions. The 8th Amendment of the US Constitution states that cruel and unusual punishments are prohibited, therefore the Supreme Court upholds this Amendment during overcrowding prisions cases.
