  • @Jon I just want to ask why you think that it is economically easier to keep somebody alive in jail. From 2008 - 2009 in the State of California, as stated on the lao.co.gov website, it costs 47,102$ per year per inmate. Obviously, this is lower in some other states. However, how is that less expensive than executing the person who likely brutally murdered one or more people? If you can just explain that, then I will fully agree with you.

  • @YushuWalkthroughs - It's not what I "think", it's just the facts of the costly appeals process. A death row inmate is more expensive than a lifer.

  • hmmm maybe a last meal of some PUUSSSYY!!!!

  • fish and chips just cause they are gods food

  • A burger with a shit load of bacon on it, a entire plate of sushi, two large servings of biscuit and gravy and one flank steak

  • Russel Was a horrid man, one whom performed a vile act, he deserved death. BUT! he did become Texas's biggest criminal troll

  • It's not so much what you order, it's how you eat it & dedicate those moves, which I have & make. I can help rehabilitate a good many if you ever come to know me? TRUE

  • Oregon just abolished the death penalty, I think.

    But there was only 1 person on death row in Oregon.

    So it wasn't like it made that big of a difference to abolish it.

  • Pastrami sandwich

  • 440 people should be sentanced to DEATH!!

  • screw that, give them a meal, a hot chick, and an hour of privacy. lol

  • I think that instead of a "lavish meal" the death row inmates get, they either get a small portion of one itiem that is their favorite, or something of that nature that is just as small. Sure, they are horriable criminals, but if I was the one knowing I was going to die soon, I would at least want to indulege on something decent one last time before they pull the plug. But hey, that is just my opinion.

  • I heard since death row gets a poison needle to the arm, a large last meal also gets blood flowing throughout their body

  • Keeping somebody alive in prison means that we have to pay for their meals, clothes, and everything else. Given how amazing jail seems to be, having more things then a good percentage of the human population, many people commit crimes with the intent of going to jail so they don't have to work for their meal. Also, if somebody murders another person, what gives them the right to keep living with these things that jail offer. We give them tv, a library, an exercise yard, and money when they leave

  • A spoon and some privacy ........hint hint

  • Caviar? sweet

  • I see nothing wrong with giving condemed inmates a last meal.

  • General Tso's chicken and beer. Might as well eat something that will give me horrible diarrhea that I won't have to experience.

  • Aileen Wuernos said no to last meal req and instead atea hamburger from the canteena, and later coffee..

  • mint chocolate chip ice cream was timothy mcveighs ladt meal req..

  • a banana, peach and a garden salad wirh ranch dressing * THIS WAS THE LAST MEAL REQ OF KARLA FAYE TUCKER WHO KILLED WITH A HAMMER AND WAS SAID TO ORGASM DOING IT/ YUKKY BITCH

  • Burritos from chipotle.

  • I'll execute them for free.

  • My last meal will be every single dish in the world.

  • Chinese

  • so jon, your telling me if you were sentenced to death you would not take the last meal if you were offered?

  • Killing the criminals could be much more economically productive than keeping them alive. A bullet only costs like 25 cents.

  • @rkfan100 heh not really about a 1.89 going off the posters at my job so we know how much money we cost em if we screw 1 up ;P thats bullet shell powder and primer the bullet meh maybe 25 cents but the whole thing 1.89 lol and i dont personally think they are even worth that much either considering how many assholes need to be shot :)

  • @deadat2 It's still less expensive than lethal injection.

  • I disagree with Whitmire. It's not like I'm porpusly going to get the death penalty, just so I can Eat a bunch, so it isn't a privilage

  • A meal from EPIC MEAL TIME

  • I say don't give them whatever they ask for but let them choose from a specific list.

    If I was going to die, I think I'd be fasting and praying. But since this is hypothetical, fried shrimp, a really good angus burger, whole milk, crab rangoon, and Moose Tracks.

  • everything that will make me fat that day i will eat =]

  • my last meal would be the wardens wifes pussy

  • i believe it is cheeper to just put a bullet in them and then dump their body than keep them alive and get better medical care than some senior citizens. i mean some homless poeple go to jail on purpose.

  • My last meal would be just a romantic dinner with the girl of my dreams, i mean what else would a romantic man do?

  • I hate ads.

  • Jon, you never mentioned what YOUR last meal would be?

  • Lasagna with chocolate mouse dessert.

  • i don't think that there should take away the last meal for death row but it should be a last meal as in one plate, i mean if the guy is about to die and he wants streak give the guy a steak. alot can be told by how a nation treats its bottom rung of society. personally i think they should get rid of the death penalty and bring back public humiliation. i mean if you were to pick between going to a build with tons of people just like you or standing in town hall getting tomato to the face.

  • Cake with a teleporter in it.

  • 3 day old Indian food. I'd make sure I'd poop all over the place so they had to clean it up.

  • Mmmmm breast milk straight from the breast

  • Okay, to answer your question, my last meal would probably consist of 1 cheese enchilada, 2 beef tacos, saag paneer, basmati rice, naan, Jamaican patty, tom chien, a bowl of beef pho, a Corona, a cup raspberry lemonade, a slice of key lime pie and a big bowl of pecan praline Blue Bell ice cream. I wonder if they would consider that a last meal or would that be more of a feast? :)

  • Most inmates on death row have been on it for quite some time and have usually completely turned their lives around. With that said, they've had plenty of time to redeem themselves AND receive many 'perks' due to good behavior and seniority so a lavish last meal should not be offered. Hell, prisoners live better than I do on the outside. I'm struggling to keep food on the table and I don't eat three meals a day. I suck though because I think we should adopt a system similar to China's re:crime.

  • And you will personally guarantee they spend it in solitary I assume? What do you know personally about prison life? Have you ever spent a day in a penitentiary with these kinds of people? That will never happen. Actually I think abolishing most of the frivolous appeals will save this country the millions of dollars you pro-lifers are so worried about. This is America, not Europe dude.

  • It's not uncommon here for homeless and impoverished people to try to get in our jails and prisons via small charges just because it IS so much better than having nothing. I'm sure its not paradise, but its better than what a lot of innocent people in the US have. We provide better for our murderers, rapists, and thieves than we do for our down on their luck innocent citizens. Free health care, three meals a day, heat, electricity, things many people cant afford.

  • While Texas may have more hardcore prisons, they are by far not the standard. I can also say that a lot of people who have been given the death penalty... if it had been my family member that they'd killed, I'd sure want them dead too. Execution is also a one time cost, you kill them and they're gone, you aren't paying for their food, medicine, and recreational activities anymore until they croak of old age or some judge gives them parole.

  • All they have to do is bitch about being sick, and more than likely they will get a med pass because the nurses or doctor on call do not have time to deal with them. Once they are at the hospital RARELY are they babysat by a guard and they often escape this way. From correctional facilities anyhow. In the big prison near us, the inmates get tv magazines games outdoor sports etc, because it is "inhumane" for them to actually SUFFER in incarceration.

  • As an aside, the prison system hemorrhages cash anyways. It needs massive reform, and abolishing the death penalty is just a scapegoat for it. It'd save money, sure... but just like politicians who cut social services to save money, you could reform the system itself and make it so maybe... you weren't spending so damned much in the first place. Just saying. In jail/prison and correctional facilities, inmates have more luxuries than many INNOCENT people.

  • I might agree if I didn't know that the most requested last meal is a cheeseburger and fries.

    Also, while you are right in that keeping people alive in prison is cheaper than killing them, let's keep in mind that the U.S. has one quarter of the world's prison population (and almost half of the U.S. prison population is incarcerated for nonviolent offenses), and that's costing us a lot whether we're killing anyone or not.

  • taco jons

  • My last meal? Some pussy.

  • Fugu Fish... because if it is prepared incorrectly it is poisonous... and seeing as I'd be dead in a few hours anyway I really would have nothing to lose... plus its delicious.

  • my last meal would be human flesh]

  • my last meal would be a bowl of rice with a egg-role

  • Comment removed

  • meh if i could have a lastmeal i'd just go for something simple, i never really had luxury food and i certainly don't need it as a last request.

    but then again i don't plan on being a criminal-

  • Double Quarter Pounder with Cheese.

  • If you want everybody to be happy, right wing and left wing, for every man/woman getting the death sentence, a hobo gets a meal. That could shut some people up.

  • Whole boiled lobster, a huge medium rare steak, three shrimp kabobs, baked potato with sour cream and butter, bread bowl salad with bleu cheese, and to drink? Probably rum. or scotch.

  • My last meal would be ham :33

  • Honestly, I would say it is more of a punishment to keep these criminals (on death row) alive rather than kill them. Spending the rest of your life cooped up in a maximum security prison sounds more miserable than death.

  • I'm going to die. I would decline a last meal. By the way, screw economics. That is such a weak argument for abolishing the death penalty. So weak. To save a few bucks and let these assholes mingle with the rest of the prison population is a preposterous idea. In this country there is the death penalty. Period. You don't like it? Find a more friendly country to live in if they'll have you.

  • @akkermanism - I'd say it's a really strong argument (actually, I pretty much did) -- this country is 15-trillion in the hole... and murdering murderers makes us no better than them. I'd say abolishing it for these reasons are fine examples. Living a life in solitary is probably worse than death anyway. And I'd prefer they suffer for a long time.

  • @Jon Well said. I agree completely.

  • @Jon If prison was perfect I'd agree with you, but people can and do escape and I don't want someone very dangerous to have the potential to hurt more innocent people.

    Also, I dont live in texas but my grandma works in a jail and has worked at the big prison for our county, the "last meal" requests are usually half assed at best. Not really lavish. I dont really care if they get one or not, though.

  • @Jon I completely agree. I don't oppose the death penalty because it's what they deserve. No they don't deserve death, that's too merciful.

  • @Chibikan And I mean I oppose it because death is too merciful.

  • Hey Jon. I was wondering what your views are on the keystone pipeline. If you haven't heard about it, i recommend checking it out.(and possibly make a video on it) haha

  • Hey Jon, it's been a while you didn't make a new WATJ episode.

  • My last meal would be a two egg cheese omelet, a banana, and a bowel of lentil soup.

  • my last meal would be a lot of good ofthened paster dish and sher it with all of the people at the jail priseners and gardes as then my last moments of life would be a good nice acked

  • When is the next World According to Jon

  • My last meal would be a bag of Cheetos, four grilled cheese sandwiches, a large bowl of ac and cheese, and vanilla ice cream with brownies. I promise that I will use it!

  • Personally, i think they should have dragged that guy out of a truck car until HE died

  • @togekissed I'm sure the same guy you wish to do that to probably had the same idea on people he thought should die.

  • I'd rather see the government put that money to good use and buy some food for the people who really need it...not for a guy who is about to die

  • My last meal would probably be Steak and Kidney Pie with Chips. nothing to fancy, I just have alot of wonderfully happy memories that can be associated with going out to get a steak and kidney pie from the chipshop.

  • Wait a minute. What evidence do you have that it's cheaper to keep them alive in prison than to kill them?

    As for last meals. It's a tricky one. If we don't give them last meals then we lose all our compassion as humans and what makes us better than these criminals but, then again, why should we give such horrible people a treat before death after such atrocious crimes? You listen to what these people have done and it turns your stomache but decent people must keep their compassion.

  • i'd have anti-death food

  • Some chocolate chip cookies and some milk.Hey if im going out,better go out santa style.lol

  • i would chose mars rocks so i would live longer

  • Chinese takeout WOOOOOO!!

  • If I was going to die... I'd go nuts... I'd literally lose my mind and probably get every shit possibly edible on my plate...

  • I'd eat fugu!

  • I know you won't read this, but you should do a story on iDosing. It is a suppossed way to get high through digital soundwaves and sound files.

  • Jack n the box yup

  • iff i had to die in the next 3 hours after being sentened 2 death i would just ask for every fast food item know 2 man and 6 knowb to monkeys

  • Lasagna. I love that shit.

  • Honestly, if I had to choose the last thing I would ever eat, I wouldn't be able to decide. I'd rather just get the same food as everyone else and not have to worry about it. But I'm saying this as a 19 y/o who hates doing bad things and has a long life ahead. If I was sentenced to death, you never know - I might have a cheeseburger craving that day!

  • My ideal last meal would consist of turkey.

    Oh my god. TURKEY

    ...with pillowy mounds of mashed potatoes, butter drenched dressing and tiny onions swimming in a sea of cream sauce.

    Ooohhhhhh

  • America will hopefully get rid of capital punishment someday soon because I would rather see these scumbags rot in jail then give them the 'luxury' of a quick and usually painless death, something that their victims usually didn't have. However, While the death penalty is in place I do agree that they should get the same meal that everyone else gets and if they don't like it then let them go hungry!

  • 2:22 Is it a good idea to...

    My mind totally finished that sentence before it was said.

  • i would ask for 500 already warm hot pockets

  • last for me is candy like sour candy

  • last meal hmmmmmmmm let me think ow i got one the most expensive candy in the world about 1 or 2m i wonder i they wold do it probably not but worth a try lol

  • I say that u would be mad if I was on death row right after that guy I'm like yes I finally get my last dr pepper and McDonalds nuggets and fries and then he screws it up.

    they should have put limits say $100 dollars in food so you still get a decent meal

  • Knorr sidekicks pasta. I massive bowl of it. I'm talking restaurant salad bowl size or bigger.

  • Last meal:bacon, burger, fries and tacos

  • As a proud Texan, I say less last meals are pointless.

  • last meal: cheeseburgers, fries, chicken, and mashed potatoes

  • My last meal would be Instant Lunch noodles. :|

  • Just give me a ranch burger and I'm good. I'm still being executed but atleast I got a good ranch burger.

  • 2:05 is it really 99.9% of the time that the criminals are definetley guilty?

  • i find that most criminals had a bad life to start with.

    1000000 hamburgers and i'll eat myself to death.

  • My last meal would be a toasted chicken sub with cheese and pepperoni.

  • I agree with the last meal being taken away from them. Their victims didn't get to have one final meal of their choice. And if prisoners are just going to say they're not hungry, and shove the food away nonchalantly, then that makes it even worse. The food that was being served could have gone to homeless people on the street, who have nothing but the clothes on their back. Those are the people who deserve the meals, not convicted, vile, selfish, arrogant criminals.

  • In my opinion, I think that the last meal policy wasn't a TERRIBLE idea. Yes, the inmates 99.9% of the time are guilty of what got them on death row and they should be punished for it. But that's just it. They're being punished because they are going to DIE. I honestly think that even if they are the worst of the worst, they are still a human being and should, as their last meal they wil EVER eat in their life, they should have a meal they love, within reason. Not like the guy in the video.

  • a live man costs food and basic human needs. a corpse costs a 1 time burial, kill them faster and kill more of them, you have the complete wrong idea jon, sorry but just wrong

  • I'd give them a last meal, but with a budget attached. Courtesy, compassion, and mercy are great, but a wide open whatever they want deal is a bit much.

    I'd probably go for a venison filet mignon. I don't know if there's a proper name for that when it's venison, but that's what I'd go for.

  • That must have sucked to be the guy who was about to get his meal, and then they pull it away from him. Personally, I'm on the side for giving them the meal. Yes, they are most likely guilty and we shouldn't reward them for that with the meal...

    However, I'm for having the meal to show that we aren't THAT cruel of a justice system.

    Now, if the inmate doesn't eat the food, you know what they should do? Either donate it, or give it to the other inmates or guards as a buffet.

  • @ACFan120 They are already in Prison how is giving them their last meal rewarding them?

  • @slicingwater It's not. I never said it was. The way I used the term "reward" was more of treating them to the meal, and not as a sort of congratulations.

  • My last meal?  EpicMealTime's turbaconepicentipede.

  • mac-and -cheese with hot dogs cut up in it

  • Pufferfish raw and prepared by a total jackass.

  • I think if I were about to be executed, I would be too stressed to eat.

  • Id have a barrel of ice cold A&W rootbeer and tons of tacos, nachos, and a ice cream sundae :)

  • America should stop picking on drugusers like some brainwashed 12 year old..

  • i would have king crab legs, a double double from in & out burger, a giant mug of A&W, and a bucket of Sweet Maratha's cookies

  • i wil defendly be 5 liters of my grandmams tomato soup.

  • I'd eat as much sushi as I can!

  • I'd have a huge box full of sushi :)

  • Last Meal: Just a simple slice of the best pie in the world (Fruit or chocolate pie)

    And as for capital punishment, I do not agree with it...essentially its killing for revenge, and killing/taking a life in any way is wrong. Individuals who are evil need to learn their lesson, and killing them doesn't solve anything. If you kill someone who killed countless people, does it make it right? No it doesn't, its still taking a life.

  • ...Well, it looks like that recent murder spree I went on was for nothing! Damn! Now I don't get to eat the finest food in the world... Oh well, so long cruel world!

  • A BITCH WITH CHOCOLATE.

  • I would like some Lobster.

  • Bacon-wrapped filet mignon steak, steamed green beans (the firm kind), red mashed potatoes with garlic, an entire bottle of Jack Daniels, Ferero-Rocher chocolates, and an iPod with some Lynyrd Skynyrd on it.

  • I would not have a last meal because I would be way too nervous to eat. Also I think the death penalty should not exists to begin with, but since it does they should not give last meals.

  • My last meal would be an endless buffet.

  • I would have New York strip steak cooked medium-rare, mahed potatoes made of red potatoes not that artificial crap, fresh green peas, a glass of sweet iced tea with lemon, and for dessert a strawberry cheesecake. I want to die off of my favorite meal.

  • No matter what a person did , they are still a person and why judge everyone by what one person does and personally i believe that everyone deserves a second chance and or they could change so no matter what these people did i believe they should be given this last meal.

  • Macaroni and cheese, hotdogs, tacos, pizza and mountain dew. I would also request that I could cook them, but even if I couldn't at least I'd die full of my favorite things.

  • @Jon

    My last meal would be dome good ol fashioned pussy.

    Just sayin'

  • Dr. Pepper and Dominoes Pizza all the way along with salty Mickey Ds fries and a Medium cookie dough DQ Blizzard

  • i would want them to put me inside a marshmallow prison next to a getaway car.

  • Is it a good idea to microwave a death row inmate?

  • @Robbie06261995 worst joke ever

  • if i had to choose my last meal it would be a never ending stack of chocolate chip pancakes drowned in mint flavored syrup

  • i would want a great big turkey dinner, with enough booze to make be die of alcohol poisoning

  • i'd want an ice cream cone then i'd lick the cone and eat the ice cream. for a last minute joke

  • I only drink the blood of my enemies!

    Anyone catch the reference?

  • BACON

  • I would want -- In N Out Burger: 6x6 with fries & a chocolate shake with a water to wash it down.

  • I feel like they should taste something before they die

  • I would ask for dinosaur meat. CANT LOCK ME UP NOW BITCH

  • I'd ask for a Steak and use the knife to kill them all mwahahahahaaha

  • My last meal would be an entire pumpkin pie. :P

  • "Is it a good idea to Microwave Death Row Imates?"

    lol

  • @delamaize Sentenced to death by microwave squad aye? Good idea :P

  • mcdonalds shamrock shake and a mcrib that shit is never together and would buy me some time

  • @caycosca Thats a good one

  • The reason why the death row inmates get a lavish last meal is because the government already look like assholes, and they don't want to be proven as torturous mother fuckers. As the "Anti-Republican Crusaders" stated, "Fuck the hypocritical idiots who claim to be politicians".

  • I'd say let them have their meal but make it so it can't cost more than $50. (You can still get a pretty badass meal for that).

  • My last meal would just be my favorite: Fucking Potato Cakes!

  • If I was on death row, my last meal would be a cookie.

  • I would ask for homemade Mac and Cheese, a steak cooked Medium rare, and chedder mash potatoes

  • how is it going to be cheaper to keep them alive if you have to feed them when they're alive?

  • A lot of people say that well, they're gonna be dead anyways, so why not, but someone against last meals could say the same thing.

  • I'm simple. All I would want for my last meal is a big mac meal and extra french fries.

  • um it would be an old family resapy lazy man

  • @Jon my last meal would be wine from 2100 :)

  • Last meal would be a large penis

  • solution to save money.. dig a deep pit(yes that will cost a bit for the moment) cover the walls in concrete and steel, throw on a one way chute, slide em down into the dark pit and let them rot...rapist will rape..killers will kill.so let them do what they want there...and see how much they enjoy it getting done to them what they did to others..

  • im glad to hear about it.. they lost there chance when they did what they did, so screw em.plain and simple,they get no sympathy from me.im not cold hearted,i just don't give a crap about low life scum like them,they are on death row for a reason...

  • @shawnkiller90 I think the fact that they're, you know, getting killed and all is enough punishment. Let them keep their last meal.

  • @JesterHopperpot1 if they wanted a nice meal then they should got their act straight,got a job and earned it...giving them a lavish free meal is like giving them a gift they dont deserve.

  • @shawnkiller90 Giving someone a meal isn't a "gift", it's a basic right that's given to all Americans. It's bad enough that we even have a death penalty in the first place, but the fact that we're now taking away someone's last meal before they die? That's absolutely despicable. The Constitution states that everyone, even prisoners, get basic human rights. The way I see it, stripping prisoners of their right to a last meal is a violation of the Constitution
