Prison time does not mean that you are not to be afforded any rights. In her sentencing, did it say anything about her having to be bitten by spiders as part of her punishment?

At the least they should get medical treatment if they have a reaction to the spider bites. I think being repeatedly bitten by spiders falls under cruel and certainly unusual punishment.

In some other countries, maybe not, but in America they lose their rights except for the right to be fed, housed in appropriate conditions, etc., while in jail. For someone terrified of spiders, this definitely could be considered cruel and unusual punishment. IF she is telling the truth. She may be exaggerating just to get her story heard
