I would spend more time studying "lawful sanctions"
in the context of "cruel and unusual punishment."
No punishment could be lawful if it is cruel or
unusual. On first impression (mine), I would
say that the qualifier "lawful sanctions" saves
the statute to which you refer. "Lawful" is a
very powerful adjective, probably THE most powerful
adjective you will find anywhere in American
jurisprudence. Now, the problem is this: what
is "lawful" and what is "not lawful"? Notice,
by comparison, where the statute states "under
color of law"; this is something entirely different
from "lawful". In fact, "color of law" is equivalent
to "unlawful", because it only gives the "appearance"
of law and, hence, is not law.
I am standing by.
