See what inmates on death row requested for their final meal.



Final Meal

I like this one:

Chocolate birthday cake with "2/23/90" written on top, seven pink candles, one coconut, kiwi fruit juice, pineapple juice, one mango, grapes, lettuce, cottage cheese, peaches, one banana, one delicious apple, chef salad without meat and with thousand island dressing, fruit salad, cheese, and tomato slices

I find that quite sad

Also it says a lot about these guys if the best meal they can imagine is "cheeseburger and fries".

Is it American custom to wait until the meal is finished or is there a time limit? Anyway, one greedy motherfucker ordered this...

12 pieces of chicken (thighs and drumsticks), 2 double-meat cheeseburgers on toasted buns, 1 large place of brown french fries with ketchup, 2 large onions (cut in slices), 2 large tomatoes (cut in slices), 6 sweet pickles, salad dressing, 5 sliced jalapeno peppers, peach cobbler with extra crust, and milk

I hope there is a time limit because that would be my idea. Order as much as you can and take forever to eat it.

althom said:

After a week that shit will be all moldy and you will still try to eat it?

theC said:

I'd take my chances with the food over the electric chair any day

althom said:

Tru Dat, i would do the same. Everytime they would start walking me to the chair i would say wait the is still some left on my plate.

althom said:

If you got food poisoning though, and started puking all over the place, could you request another last meal when you've recovered? That would be the fair thing to do.

Anji said:

I wonder if they would get a doctor to fix you up. Seems pointless to me.

althom said:

Yeah, so's sterilyzing the needle before injection.

They get to shoot up?

Anji said:

Yes.

Heroin for every inmate!

Over the years I've noticed none of the death row inmates ask for alcohol with their last meal. I guess it's against the law to get liquored up before being put to death, because I know they would if they could.

Let me guess... IHOP?

One inmate asked for the following as his last meal...God's saving grace, love, truth, peace and freedom.

Do you think he would have been remotely pissed off if he had been stuck next to the inmate who ordered this...

10 pieces of large deep fried jumbo shrimp, 2 pieces of garlic bread, 2 pieces of fried chicken (dark meat), 1 tossed salad with thousand island dressing, 1 chocolate milk shake.

I think I would be.

I think the death penalty is inhumane, barbaric and archaic, no matter what the convicted has done. Life imprisonment would surely be terrible enough.

But I guess that's another thread.

I disagree. But don't call me bitchy. I think if you can molest a child, you should have your head chopped off for instance. There's no excuse for that, and it's certainly not deserving of being fed three meals a day on my tax money, and watching TV and sitting around waiting for death.

But it is another thread.

Damn you, Battier!

Well you DO live in Kansas, afterall, so perhaps that explains your stone age point of view.

Molesting a child is an absolutely horrendous crime and I think the offender, should suffer a terrible fate, HOWEVER I don't believe it is up to another man to decide that that fate is to take away the offender's life.

If someone in any way harmed someone of my family for example, I would would not want them killed. I would want them to suffer the rest of their miserable lives in complete solitude in jail. Death is too good for someone like that and I am fundamentally against murder for any reason as a matter of personal ethics. I don't believe in "might is right" as so many in America seem to. I see it as bloody minded and barbaric as I posted before.

In my opinion the U.S. is behind the rest of the civilised world in it's use of the death penalty, along with it's guns laws and alarming availabity of guns in supermarkets (as another example).

But I'm sure you'll disagree with me about those things, too.

And here I was thinking you're asking what OUR final meal requests would be, I was all ready to say Lobster Thermidor...

mrdespues said:

I agree... I'm totally against capital punishment. Certainly it can be satisfying to our most base desires for revenge and "an eye for an eye" justice... but no legal process is perfect, mistakes are made, and innocent people are wrongly executed.

Personally I don't think capital punishment is acceptable for any civilised country, and it's a shame that countries such as the US and Japan haven't figured that out yet.

shausler said:

its all fast food dammit, arent any classy people executed these days!!!

ian said:

Yes!

mrdespues said:

Just rip me apart why don't you! I'm from Kentucky, not Kansas. At any rate...

I do disagree. It seems the "offender" decided the fate for someone else, and so, they should pay in a like manner.

If someone hurt someone I cared about, I'd kill them myself. I don't think living lives in complete solitude is good enough.

Maybe I am barbaric. After all, Kentucky is behind most places. We still don't wear shoes.
