Excessive bail shall not be required, nor excessive fines imposed, nor cruel and unusual punishments inflicted.
This is just another extension of the other Amendments. Excessive bails are permitted and not cruel and unusual punishment as well. This is important because sometimes people cannot afford high bail penalty and if its a first time offense and they are not at risk of fleeing then bail has to be reasonable. To that is the way that I see it.
This is a funny picture but it represents this Amendment for them to post bail making it reasonable to achieve that.
