This article offers a preliminary working definition of human dignity, establishes that the core elements of that definition are found in the US Constitution, and applies that definition as embodied in the US Constitution to the subject of prison reform in the American context. For purposes of American prison reform, the key element of the US Constitution is the Eighth Amendment, which prohibits cruel and unusual punishments. Punishments that are cruel and unusual, it is argued, are cruel and unusual because they violate the human dignity of offenders.
