The Suspect 'Usual'

I can't imagine what could have made me think of this as I was trying to sleep in this morning. Canada adopted a prison reform some time ago, preventing the use of 'cruel and unusual punishment' on inmates. It strikes me as oxymoronic.

To me, a cruel punishment is far more cruel if it's usual, as in relentless. Anything else, being a freak occurrence, would be comparatively easy to get over. Sounds to me like prison is even more brutal than it was before.
