Death Row Last Meal for Texas Inmates NO MORE

This past Thursday many Americans were in an uproar about Troy Davis but he wasn’t the only man executed last week. On Wednesday 9/21/11 Lawrence Russell Brewer was executed for the 1998 dragging death of James Byrd Jr. To quickly fill you in Brewer, a white supremacists chained the black James Byrd to his pick-up truck and drug him to his death (A modern day Emmit Till case). We all know of the infamous “last meal” inmates are granted prior to their punishment. Well Brewer did not eat his order which led a state senator to file a complaint this past Thursday to end this meal practice. What exactly prompted this complaint? How about Davis’s order: two chicken fried steaks smothered in gravy with sliced onions, a triple-meat bacon cheeseburger, a cheese omelet, a large bowl of fried okra can’t forget the ketchup, three fajitas, a pint of Blue Bell ice cream, a pound of bbq with a half-loaf of white bread (guess wheat was too brown), a slab of peanut butter fudge with crushed peanuts, a pizza and three root beers. Despite his dreadful crime and my stance against capital punishment I couldn’t help but giggle and say HELL NAW! But officials did’nt find his stunt so funny, keep in mind he did’nt eat any of it! Sen. John Whitmire wrote, “It is extremely inappropriate to give a person sentenced to death such a privilege. One which the perpetrator did not provide to their victim.” I disagree with his reasoning for doing away with the meal privilege in Texas. The prison industry is a business, a wealthy one at that generating billions of dollars so they do have the money. Looks to me a case of humiliation and one last F! YOU from Brewer. The result….”Effective immediately, no such accommodations will be made. They will receive the same meal served to other offenders on the unit.”-Whitmire
