I don't think there's a $30 limit in Texas.

Holy cow!

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

So, is alcohol not allowed on that list...? If I was gonna be killed, I'd want a bottle of Westy 12 , and maybe even a bottle of DRC.

And given I'm a vegetarian, I'd probably order my first meat-based meal...steak and burgers and all that good stuff...maybe the ensuring stomachache would take my mind off the ensuring death.

How do you double-post, 21 minutes apart?

Like HA said, these are just requests, no their actual meals - I'm pretty sure it's completely within the Warden or whoever's discretion what the prisoners get to eat.

That is why it was removed from the official site.

The Houston Chronicle reports:

Last meals on Texas' death row never were haute cuisine, but for many Web browsers, they held a morbid fascination. For years, the details of executed killers' final repasts were the most popular feature of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice's official Web site. But now the menus -- posted for most of the 313 killers executed since 1982 -- are history, dropped from the newly redesigned Web site by an image-conscious agency stung by claims the site was tasteless and demeaning.

The Memory Hole has recovered a version of the page with 301 last meals listed, which is posted below. (It used to be at www.tdcj.state.tx.us/stat/finalmeals.htm.) For more such information, the site Dead Man Eating lists last meals of inmates from Texas and elsewhere.

Most of the time it's limited to what they cook at the prison cafeteria

Exactly....

Most states have a limit to how much they can order. That list for Texas is a list of what they requested...not what they actually got. I'm sure they keep it under a certain dollar amount.

I thought that it had to be whatever the kitchen had on hand.

Also, from what I understand, most condemned prisoners do not eat their meal.

257 Offender Information Moore Michael 999126 01/09/2002 None requested

I think they got the wrong Michael Moore...

 

[Shame]

If I was a warden, I would make them pick off Wendy's extra value menu...

 

[Willoughbyva]

If I was the warden I would give them whatever they wanted for their last meal. Within reason of course.

 

[SLCentral]

Wait, WTF, this is ATOT, Grammar Nazi central, and not one person has commented on the OP's grammar? WTF?!
