The

Press to Begin

It has long been
customary for a
condemned man to
choose his last meal
before he is
executed.

Since December
of 1982, over 300
Texas prisoners
have had to
make that
unappetizing
decision.

This work presents the
final choice as made by
several of these
prisoners.

As you watch this,
remember that the
capital punishment
system occasionally
kills the wrong man.
So perhaps you should
ask yourself...

What would your
last meal be?

Pakistan
Saudi Arabia
Nigeria
Yemen
Iraq
The U.S.A.

Only six countries currently
execute juveniles:

China 126 (Unofficially, 1000+)
Iraq    0 (Unofficially, hundreds)
The U.S.A.    71
Iran    69
Saudi Arabia 47
Singapore    18
Jordan    13
Vietnam    12
Kuwait    5

Reported executions
by country in 2002.
(As compiled by Amnesty International)

A 1993 Duke University
study found that in North
Carolina alone it cost $2.16
million more to execute a
single person than it does to
imprison that person for life.

Mercy, as Duke University
points out, is not only
enlightened, it’s economical.

The End.
