Another death row injustice is that Texas banned last meal requests in 2011. Surely a man on his way to the gurney deserves his last supper?
"Texas prison officials stopped the practice of letting condemned inmates choose their last meal after a prominent state senator complained about the expansive request from a man executed this week for his role in a notorious dragging death. Lawrence Russell Brewer, who was executed Wednesday for the hate crime slaying of James Byrd Jr. more than a decade ago, asked for two chicken fried steaks, a triple-meat bacon cheeseburger, fried okra, a pound of barbecue, three fajitas, a meat lover's pizza, a pint of ice cream and a slab of peanut butter fudge with crushed peanuts. Prison officials said Brewer didn't eat any of it."
