How does the eighth amendment protect people found guilty of crimes

Well the 8th amendment does not allow the federal government to impose excessive bail, excessive fines, or cruel and unusual punishments. This means if someone is guilty, they are sometimes (if the judge allows it) allowed to have bail, but the amendment states it can't be excessive. Also, the amendment protects criminals from cruel punishments that used to occur before the amendment was put in place.
