1
These are the craziest last meals ever eaten by death row inmates.
2
From a luxury feast to a dessert that almost stopped in execution.
3
I'm eating them all to find out what these final choices say about the criminals who ordered them.
4
Starting with a meal eaten by one of the most dangerous death row inmates of all time.
5
Whoa, we got a dozen fried shrimp.
6
Mmm, french fries.
7
Dip it in this ketchup.
8
Mmm, yum, who doesn't like french fries?
9
And a pound of strawberries.
10
These are sweet and fresh.
11
Inside this bucket is something that scared the prison guards.
12
Fried chicken.
13
Prisons avoid serving meat on the bone because it can be sharpened into a weapon.
14
Mmm, sure is tasty.
15
Imagine this being a weapon.
16
But there's something else.
17
It's from KFC.
18
That's because before prison, the inmate John Wayne Gacy actually managed three KFC restaurants.
19
Which means the last meal he ever ate...
20
Came from his old job.
21
Weird.
22
But not every inmate is this lucky.
23
In Japan, prisoners don't know when they'll be executed, so their final meal is often decided by chance.
24
This is what a typical Japanese prison meal looks like.
25
Rice, miso soup, grilled fish, and pickled vegetables.
26
Gotta have chopsticks.
27
Let's try this fish.
28
Try it with some rice and pickled vegetables.
29
Mmm.
30
When you combine all three of them, they actually taste pretty good together.
31
You gotta take a sip of miso soup too.
32
I've had miso soup before.
33
This is pretty good.
34
Now the execution in Japan is even stranger.
35
It happens in a room with three buttons.
36
Three officers press them at the same time, but only one opens the trap door that hangs the prisoner.
37
That way none of them know who caused the execution.
38
That's crazy.
39
There's 11 more last meals I'm going to show you, and next is one that's different because the death row inmate didn't just get one last meal, he got three.
40
The first was a Wendy's Baconator burger and a milkshake.
41
Mmm, strawberry.
42
That's good.
43
Alright, let's check out this Wendy's Baconator.
44
I've never eaten one of these.
45
This is a lot of meat.
46
Alright, let's try this out.
47
It's salty, cheesy.
48
That's a good last meal.
49
After he ate this meal, the prison was about to carry out the execution.
50
But minutes before, the prison staff discovered the lethal injection drug was the wrong one.
51
So they rescheduled his execution.
52
On the next execution date, he ordered the same meal again.
53
And that execution was also canceled, this time because of his lawyers.
54
But the third meal is different.
55
Was fish and chips.
56
This looks amazing.
57
Around this time, Glossop's lawyer said that the main witness who testified against him had lied.
58
Mmm.
59
Oh wow.
60
Crispy on the outside, soft on the inside.
61
This is good fish and chips.
62
I feel like I'm in England.
63
So anyway, the case got pushed to the highest court in the United States, and the judges agreed.
64
Now Glossop is no longer on death row.
65
Mmm.
66
This is the best food so far.
67
And he got three meals out of it.
68
But at Ellis Prison, one inmate's last meal became a ritual instead of a redemption story.
69
Because a death row inmate named James Edward Smith asked for a small bottle of dirt from Ratacunda, a sacred pond in India.
70
Smith believed that if he ate it before his execution, it would help his spirit to be reborn.
71
So here's dirt from the sacred pond in India.
72
And this is dirt from my backyard in Los Angeles.
73
They look pretty similar.
74
I want to be respectful, so let's try the dirt from my backyard.
75
Mmm, tastes like dirt.
76
I don't recommend that.
77
This might be the worst tasting choice for a last meal.
78
Tonight, we have a three course meal for you sir.
79
To start, lobster tail with drawn butter.
80
Ooh, whoa.
81
This was the last meal of a death row inmate named Ronnie Lee Gardner.
82
Thank you.
83
Mmm, man, that's good.
84
And it's only the starter?
85
And now for the main.
86
A New York strip steak, aged 30 days, cooked for your liking.
87
Oh, steak and soda?
88
That's a weird combo.
89
It's a nice piece of steak.
90
You can taste that it was aged.
91
I like my steak medium rare.
92
Mmm.
93
Apparently wine's not allowed in jail.
94
Dessert.
95
Apple pie and ice cream?
96
Mmm, vanilla, my favorite.
97
And finally sir, the entertainment.
98
The movie marathon you requested.
99
Gardner asked to watch the entire Lord of the Rings trilogy.
100
That's about nine hours of movies.
101
Ooh.
102
Watch out Frodo!
103
Schmiegels behind you!
104
This is one of my favorite movies.
105
Now we have seven meals left to try, and that's not all.
106
We'll try a meal from the future too, because some prisons will be implementing artificial intelligence that personalizes an inmate's last meals so the prison can save money.
107
But next is a last meal that barely passes as food.
108
Ugh, what is this?
109
Ugh, gross.
110
It's called skilling.
111
Prisoners were served this almost every day in Victorian England, even on their execution day.
112
Oh, it's like extremely watery oatmeal.
113
Is there a fly floating in there?
114
We made it as realistic as possible.
115
I don't think that's gonna help with the flavor.
116
The goal of the meal is to make prison feel way worse than life outside.
117
And the bread?
118
It's like a rock, it's so stale.
119
Yeah, that's terrible.
120
Worst thing so far.
121
While some prison meals were punishment, This next one was an act of kindness.
122
Before his scheduled execution, a South African prisoner named Duma Kumalo was given this.
123
A whole chicken with no bones, plus seven rand, the official money of South Africa.
124
The money was so he could buy more food before his execution, but Kumalo didn't spend it on himself.
125
He used it to buy food for other inmates that were starving.
126
Let's check out this chicken.
127
The chicken looks normal.
128
Mmm. And tastes like chicken.
129
Kumalo thought that this was his final meal.
130
But before the execution happened, South Africa got rid of the death penalty.
131
Which means his last meal just became another dinner.
132
Now sometimes it's not just about the inmate.
133
The people doing the execution want to eat too.
134
Because in 18th century Germany, a prisoner named Susanna Margarethe Brand took part in ritual feast
135
where the people in charge of her execution actually shared a meal with her.
136
The meal was meant to symbolize forgiveness and the feast kept getting bigger and bigger.
137
Sausages, beef, wine, it got so big that most times it couldn't be finished.
138
But this here shouldn't go to waste.
139
Come on everyone!
140
So what food tastes better?
141
I like the lamb.
142
Beef.
143
The strangest part though?
144
Even with all this food, Susanna Brandt reportedly only drank a single cup of water.
145
And no one knows why.
146
Next, a meal that almost saved a man's life.
147
We got steak and fried chicken again.
148
They look different, but let's see if they taste better than the ones earlier.
149
This steak is way thinner.
150
It's chewy.
151
Definitely not as good.
152
But what about the fried chicken?
153
The crust looks It's mushy.
154
The KFC looked better.
155
And the KFC tastes better.
156
Ah, cherry Kool-Aid.
157
My mom used to make a picture of this every week.
158
This brings back memories.
159
But the most interesting part of this meal is the pecan pie because it was used as evidence in court.
160
You see, years earlier, Rector had suffered a traumatic brain injury
161
and his lawyers found out he asked to save the pie for later, which they used to argue he didn't understand he was about to be executed.
162
But the court said that wasn't enough to stop it, and the pie was never eaten.
163
Mmm, who doesn't like pecan pie?
164
Reminds me of the holidays.
165
Inside my hand is one of the strangest last meals ever eaten.
166
It's an olive, with the pit inside.
167
Victor Feger wanted it because he thought if the pit was buried with him, an olive tree would grow from his grave.
168
But would that actually work?
169
Well, if a pit reaches soil with water and oxygen, it could grow into a tree.
170
But most olives people eat are cured in salt or lime, and that process usually kills the seed inside the pit, which means the olive tree Feger hoped would grow from his grave never had a chance.
171
This is it?
172
Just a bag of Jolly Ranchers?
173
You'd expect a last meal like this to belong to a kid, which in a way, it did.
174
Mitchell was 17 when the crime happened.
175
At the time the state he lived in still allowed the death penalty for crimes committed by people under 18.
176
Mmm.
177
Watermelon watermelon.
178
A few years later, the US Supreme Court banned that, which means Mitchell was executed just a few years before the law changed.
179
Well, where prisons are heading is a lot crazier because recently the news exposed three ways prisons are using new technology.
180
The first is with six-foot-tall sentry robots that patrol jail quarters with 360-degree cameras and heat sensors.
181
Then there's cell feeding, proposals to use robots to deliver medicine and food right into inmates' cells.
182
And the last one is is standardizing death row inmate meals.
183
One prison has already done this to save money, switching inmates' main meals to processed meat patties, their hamburger and hot dog buns to plain white bread,
184
and their milk cartons to powdered milk.
185
I don't know about this one.
186
All right, let's try the processed meat patty.
187
Oh, that does not taste good.
188
Blech, it's got like no flavor.
189
I'm just, I don't even know, it doesn't even taste like real meat.
190
Sorry, we got white bread.
191
This can't be as bad.
192
It's not good either.
193
Again, no flavor.
194
Really bland.
195
And I don't even know what to think about this powdered milk.
196
Ugh.
197
Nope.
198
The future looks terrible.
199
Oh my gosh.
200
Now keep in mind, we're only a couple years into AI.
201
So in five to 10 years, prisons could look completely different.
202
Hopefully they don't have to eat this food.
203
Now finally, we have the greatest last meal request in prison history.
204
It includes a pizza and a birthday cake.
205
The inmate who requested it was named David Woods.
206
He said the reason was because he never had a birthday cake before.
207
So the prison staff baked one for him.
208
Ooh, cake.
209
All right.
210
Mm.
211
Okay, this is pretty good.
212
I hope you learned something.

מהי טכניקת השאדואינג?
שאדואינג היא טכניקת למידת שפה מבוססת מדע שפותחה במקור להכשרת מתורגמנים מקצועיים ופופולרית על ידי הפוליגלוט ד"ר אלכסנדר ארגואלס. השיטה פשוטה אך עוצמתית: אתה מקשיב לאודיו באנגלית ילידית וחוזר עליו בקול רם מיד — כמו צל העוקב אחרי הדובר עם עיכוב של 1–2 שניות בלבד. בניגוד להאזנה פסיבית או תרגילי דקדוק, שאדואינג מכריח את המוח והשרירים בפה לעבד ולשחזר דפוסי דיבור אמיתיים בו זמנית. מחקרים מראים שזה משפר משמעותית את דיוק ההגייה, האינטונציה, הקצב, הדיבור המחובר, הבנת השמיעה ושטף הדיבור — מה שהופך אותו לאחת השיטות היעילות ביותר להכנה לIELTS Speaking ולתקשורת באנגלית בעולם האמיתי.
