Inmates on Death Row;last meals

Expand Post »
http://www.thememoryhole.org/deaths/...inal-meals.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!

Re: Inmates on Death Row;last meals

I didn't read all of it, but I found some interesting ones... they get very detailed!

Four fried eggs sunny side up, four sausage patties, one chicken fried steak patty, one bowl of white country gravy, five pieces of white toast, five tacos with meat and cheese only, four Dr. Peppers with ice one the side & five mint sticks.

Fifteen slices of cheese, three fried eggs, three buttered toasts, two hamburger patties with cheese, 2 tomato sliced, one sliced onion, french fries with salad dressing, 2 lb. of crispy fried bacon, one quart chocolate milk and one pint of fresh strawberries

Re: Inmates on Death Row;last meals

last meal for condemned criminals, waste of food...
In fact any expense on their behalf is wasted.

Arrest them at dawn, convict them at noon, deny their appeal at dusk, and hang them next dawn.

Are you sure you're not American? I though we were the only ones who thought like that.

But more seriously, I think we should abolish the death penalty because (1) its cheaper to keep them alive, (2) the punishment lasts longer, and (3) too many innocent people have been put to death. We can always let someone out of prison who was innocent of the crime, but we can't bring him back to life.

"Statistically" it is true, but even Mark Twain recognized the problem with statistics..."Facts are stubborn, but statistics are more pliable".

The problem with the death sentence is that it is final once applied, and sometimes the judicial system gets it wrong. If we could guarantee that the person was guilty then I would say hang em, and do it right now. The death sentence as it stands right now is of little or no use as a deterrent, in California there is the argument that the lethal injection is cruel and unusual punishment...excuse me?!?

As for the last meal...chefs surprise, want to guess what it is???
