    inhuman punishment inflicted. Neither shall the death penalty be imposed,
    unless, for compelling reasons involving heinous crimes, the Congress
    hereafter provides for it. Any death penalty already imposed shall be reduced
    to reclusion perpetua.

    against any prisoner or detainee or the use of substandard or inadequate
    penal facilities under subhuman conditions shall be dealt with by law.
