It is not unusual (at least not in the sense that the framers intended) since it is a sentence which is regularly enacted.
It is however cruel, in most cases, in the sense that its main purpose is to inflict suffering (in some case life imprisonment might be seen as the only way to protect society from an individual who would pose a permanent threat to it, but these individuals, if they exists, would belong in psychiatric institutions instead).
I voted no, because you used "and" rather than "or".
