Inmates on Death Row;last meals

http://web.archive.org/web/200312022...finalmeals.htm

Some "Refused last meal" while 1 had "Yogurt" listed......

Maybe those who refused thier last meal are the ones that feel guilty and sad about what they have done... Good theory?

Its sad in a way because the people that THEY MURDERED didnt have a choice for a last meal!

Maybe they didn't want to eat because they didn't want to poop their pants or throw up during execution.

The people they murdered DID have a choice of what they ate, they just didn't know it was their last meal.

i'd have had a fookin' huuuuge curry

Nobody knows where the 'last meal' originally comes from. Some believe it's a peace offering and acceptance of the last meal from the inmate is them giving their forgiveness, to the executioner, the judge, etc. Perhaps it makes those that have contributed in the death of the condemned feel a little better about sentencing someone to death.

So maybe those who refused their last meal weren't forgiving for what was about to happen to them. Some inmates not only refuse their 'last meal' but refuse to eat anything in the last day or two before their sentence.

Or perhaps a hearty decent meal wasn't on their mind the day before execution. I'm not sure I'd feel like eating a good meal if I knew I was about to be killed. It's a weird thing to have to anticipate and also something I'll never understand. Hopefully!

Cheeseburgers, fried chicken, Mexican food, and ice cream are very popular.

I guess if I had to pick, though: Wet tripe and shrimp burrito, sashimi, Mexican Coca Cola, flourless chocolate cake, and miso soup.

There were quite a few that requested cigarettes which were denied due to prison policy. If the state is going to kill a man...the least they could do is let him/her have a smoke.

I'd want a litre of Wild Turkey.

I wonder if you can send your steak back if they overcook it

Id order the all you can eat buffet without a time limit

I wouldn't eat anything. I get really nervous around needles and would just throw up anyway, so it would be a waste.
Unless it was by firing squad or something like that. Then I'd eat a bacon and onion cheese burger with tomato & mozzarella salad and some diet coke.

Speaking of such things BBAD i wonder if there is a limit on what they can have... (I saw some pretty LARGE meals listed)
