2016Article 2, section 9 of this state’s constitution prohibits the infliction of 38 Cite as 2016 Ark. 268 “cruel or unusual punishments.” In contrast, the Eighth Amendment to the federal constitution prohibits the infliction of “cruel and unusual punishments.” Appellees ask this court to consider the distinction between the words “and” and “or” and to reject the two- prong test that the United States Supreme Court has developed in its cases interpreting the Eighth Amendment.
