I think this fits the bill of cruel and unusual punishment.

What's cruel about it? It seems akin to community service which is handed down as legal punishment all the time.

Its working in chipotle. Quite possibly the worst fast food place in the states. She should be assigned to work in a prison commissary instead. Much more humane.

AFAIK the punishment isn't working at a Chipotle, it's at a fast food place.

She also had a choice between working and jail, so I doubt "cruel and unusual" would have standing.
