If you don't believe...

If you don't believe in a place in the afterlife commonly referred to as hell, where there is eternal suffering, do you then disagree with the bar on cruel and unusual punishment in this life?
I'm not trying to get into whether or not hell exists, a person is free to come to their own conclusions. Rather, I'm interested to hear whether y'all think there is justice for some of the more egregious crimes, without it? Presume it doesn't exist, regardless of your beliefs.
Eternal suffering seems too good for some offenders, and I think we can all come up with one story or another that moved us to think that way.
Follow up question, if cruel and unusual is allowable (due to the non-existence of eternal suffering in the afterlife) who would mete it out?

Some will die in hot pursuit
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain

Yep.
I know the feeling... When I was employed in the public sector...,
lunch was 'personal' time and I spent it as I chose too... BUT...
THEN, 'they' cut internet access to any site that dealt in "violence"...
OK... Your machine... I understand, Fine.
I just brought in my iPad... [:D]
Last time I checked, the air and what was in it [radio waves, etc..] is still 'free'...
