    I saw this on the news last night. TDCJ provides inmates on death row with any food within reason 90 minutes before execution. I don't know how they can eat knowing they're about to die. A psychologist said final meal requests was a way for everyone (mostly for the state) to get rid of their guilt.

    It's freaky TDCJ posts this info on the web. Click on Death Row Information and you can read more.

    I didn't know where to post this

    I don't mean to derail Smokey, but what could you say on deathrow to get your execution delayed?

    1. I know where the bomb is
    2. I have needlephobia
    3. I was involved in several horse thefts that I would like to clear up
    4. The warden is an imposter
    5. That last meal (enchiladas) gave me gas

    It's probably good that you put this in here knowing that that some debate will probably arise about the death penalty.

    I say BREAD AND WATER!

    I don't know about bread and water but ordering what seems like a $$$ meal for 3 to 4 people on the state's tab is unnecessary.

    btw, no cigarettes or bubble gum.

    Yeah, I don't like that ridiculous expense, especially if they order caviar, a couple of bottles of Dom Perion and some lobster. Give him a nice meal, but don't go overboard. Remember this criminal did something so horrible in the eyes of the state that merited his sentence.

    Two 16 oz. ribeyes, one lb. turkey breast (sliced thin), twelve strips of bacon, two large hamburgers with mayo, onion, and lettuce, two large baked potatoes with butter, sour cream, cheese, and chives, four slices of cheese or one-half pound of grated cheddar cheese, chef salad with blue cheese dressing, two ears of corn on the cob, one pint of mint chocolate chip ice cream, and four vanilla Cokes or Mr. Pibb

    This guy had the right idea. Screw fried chicken.
