Not in the U.S.
U.S. Constitution, 8th amendment:
Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor
cruel and unusual punishments inflicted.

The law has nothing to do with what deserves to be done to rapists.

My point exactly. Rapists deserve a lot of punishment, not getting put in
a jail where they can watch tv and get free meal and free board, etc... And
they do not deserve to get out of jail so they can do it again. They need
something done to them to make sure that they would never do it again...

     Kun, you'd be advocating the opposite position if you knew someone
who was innocent and convicted (I do, and it's not my relative in a previous
post, BTW). Imagine being innocent and being subjected to the hellish
things you've been advocating.
