Actually, that's one of the justifications. Apparently, a death row inmate ordered practically everything on the menu and then refused it.
My thoughts are this: like it or not, the death penalty us going to remain in use in the US for the time being. If we can afford millions of dollars on drones, wiretaps, welfare, shutting down the government, and bailouts, then surely select state governments can spend a few dozen dollars per condemned prisoner to make ther last day on earth just slighty less shitty. Like I've said in other threads, I'm actually pretty neutral when it comes to my opinion on the death penalty but I think that some traditions are there for a reason--the right to a last meal being among them.
