Twilight Zone Open Response

Cory's punishment is cruel and unusual. Spending forty five years in confinement on his own asteroid is both mean and unnecessary. For instance, Cory explained to the captain of the ship that he only murdered in self defense. If this is the case Cory's confinement onto an asteroid is an extreme punishment. If they are not able to prove the reason for why he killed, he should be locked up in jail on earth. This extreme form of punishment is unnecessary and not fit for the crime that Cory has allegedy committed. Also, this punishment seems to be very cruel. Being alone, nine million miles away from the earth has allowed Cory to suffer a lot more than he needs to. With no one around Cory says that he is dying of loneliness . This type of isolation is very cruel because it does not fit the punishment of the crime. On the asteroid Cory will drive himself made from being so lonely and probably die of it. This is also cruel and unfair because he does not deserve to die with a minor crime that they cannot prove. The treatment of Cory's punishment is very extreme, this makes is both cruel and highly unusual. Cory has a punishment that it severe compared to other people and they cannot be sure that he did not kill in self defense. On the asteroid he will die of loneliness which is unfair because he is suffering so much. Cory should be freed from the asteroid and be able to come home to planet earth!
