Dennis Burnham, who lived next door, was a toddler when his mother briefly put him in a playpen in their garden. She returned a few minutes later to find the current U.S. president, then aged five or six, standing at his fence throwing rocks at the little boy.

His mother warned Dennis to “stay away from the Trumps” as they didn’t want him “beaten up” by the family bully.

The Eighth Amendment specifically prohibits cruel and unusual punishments. Punishments that are overly painful, torturous, degrading, or humiliating are considered cruel and unusual, or conditions that are inhumane or pose a serious threat to inmates' health and safety, such as overcrowding or inadequate medical care, violate the Eighth Amendment. And the Eight Amendment protection against cruel and unusual punishment applies to all individuals, including undocumented immigrants.
