I've always regarded the "last meal" thing as very weird. "We are going to be nice to you just for this once, because after that we are going to kill you." I wonder how far this tradition goes back.

I can understand if you had been a political prisoner in the 18th century, kept in a dungeon or something, but for the run of the mill modern psychopath, comfortably incarcerated, I'd cite cost-cutting and get rid of it. We are already giving them a break by not killing them as their victims were killed, so lets skip that extra entree before they get the needle. Also, there has been quite an outcry over the pain that the chemicals may cause during the process of execution. wtf??

The reason IMO was because of the clemency plea of the woman who was eventually executed on Tuesday September 29, 2015 in Georgia.
