What do those heinous criminals eat as their last meal before execution?

Since ancient times, generally speaking, criminals will be executed only if they commit heinous crimes. Beginning in 2006, an American photographer named Henry Hargreaves came up with a wonderful idea. He wanted to see what those heinous criminals had as their last meal before execution. As soon as the photo came out, it really attracted a lot of people's attention. Today, let’s talk about this interesting thing.

First, Ted Bundy

Ted Bundy was the most notorious murderer in the United States from 1973 to 1978. According to incomplete statistics, he has killed between 26 and 100 people in a row over the past six years. After being arrested, he had an experience of escaping from prison. He was imprisoned again in 1984 and was sentenced to death in 1989. His last meal was very simple, just steak, eggs, pancakes, bread, milk and juice. It was the most bland dinner.

Second place, Lawrence

Lawrence was sentenced to death for killing American James Byrd in 1998 due to some dispute. His last order was particularly rich, including triple cheeseburger, chicken steak, BBQ-style pizza, chicken steak, omelet, cheese, peanut butter fudge, bread, ice cream and 3 bottles of beer.

So much food was given to him, but when it was handed to him, he didn't even take a bite, as if he was teasing everyone. Because of her, from then on, the Texas State Penitentiary no longer provided last meal service, and even before death, she would kill inmates while they were drunk.

Third place, Gary

Gary, like Lawrence above, was imprisoned for murder in 1996 and was sentenced to death after considering the seriousness of the circumstances. His last meal was 226 grams of cheese, 2000 grams of Parmesan cheese, family size Doritos, extra large French fries, 2 cups of strawberry milkshake, 2 bottles of cherry flavored Coke, 2 balls of strawberry ice cream, and Also have 100 ounces of jalape?os. He almost ate up all the food. It was rare for a prisoner to be so optimistic before his death.

The fourth place, James Edward Smith

Because this death row prisoner is too old, the information cannot be found, and it is not known what crime he committed, but his last The meal was very interesting. He just wants a handful of dirt. Yes, it is dirt, but if you think that he wants to "eat dirt", you are totally wrong.

This death row prisoner may have some beliefs or reasons for making this wish. But the superiors suspected that he had other motives, and for the sake of safety did not agree to his request. Instead, they gave him a cup of yogurt, and he became the most notorious death row prisoner in history.

Because of Henry Hargreaves’ photography, the last meals of criminals from various countries were made public. To be honest, if it were me, I wouldn’t be able to eat any delicacies at that time. Before the death penalty in ancient China, there was also a rule that you must eat a piece of raw meat to pass the Mengpo Bridge safely. Of course, this is all just superstition.

Which one will you choose?
