Chinese term or phrase: accused...with...

Marshall is installing new technology at San Quentin as part of a court-ordered overhaul of California's prison health care system. In 2001, 10 inmates at nine prisons, including San Quentin, accused the state of violating the Eighth Amendment {with medicine that amounts to cruel and unusual punishment}. In 2002, U.S. District Court Judge Thelton Henderson agreed with the inmates, pronouncing California's prison healthcare system unconstitutional.
九座监狱（其中包括圣昆廷监狱）的10名犯人指控加州违反了第八条修正案，理由是监狱发放的药物近似于残忍、不同寻常的惩罚？
感觉不合常理。

我想应该是，因为监狱里所能提供的医疗服务也就是发点药什么的。

accused...of 指控

Explanation:
因加州在处决死刑犯时执行残忍的或非常的注射药物方法，故指控加州违反了《第八条修正案》。
violate...with

可参考：
死刑是否違反《第八條修正案》進而應予以取締﹐一直是一個在全國和法院引起辯論的問題。按照修正案的文字規定﹐最高法院最初聽審的一些案件涉及處決方式﹐而不是實際刑罰。1878年﹐法院贊成用執行槍決的行刑隊作為處決犯人的一種方法﹐十年後﹐又批準使用電椅作為一種人道的處決方式。一個世紀後﹐法院尚未接到對藥物注射死刑這種目前的"人道"處決方式的任何反對意見。從根本上說﹐最高法院的態度是﹐只要死刑還存在﹐其執行方式就交由各州決定﹐但不能使用酷刑或其他顯然殘忍或非常的方法。1970年代﹐法院被迫被卷入了廢除死刑的論戰﹔隨著這個問題目前再次在公共政策辯論中佔據重要位置﹐法院看來不久也許會再次被卷入其中
