The day before execution, prisoners on death row in ancient times would eat a special meal called decapitation meal. What about the current death row inmates? Is there still such treatment?

Every death row prisoner will improve his meal and add two small plates the night before his execution. This is just a matter of procedure and has nothing to do with whether the condemned prisoner likes to eat it or not. The next morning, the meal before execution, the detention center will ask the condemned prisoner in advance what he wants to eat. In principle, as long as it's not excessive, you'll be satisfied. Death row prisoners have special funds issued by higher authorities. If the condemned prisoner does not request a last meal, the guards will do it as usual.

The prisoners on death row are generally not consulted about the meal the night before execution. As stated above, this is a procedure and not treatment in a detention center. At this time, several death row inmates have already received their final judgments, so there is no need to ask.

In my detention center, this kind of dinner for death row prisoners consists of two dishes, one meat and one vegetarian. The staple food is noodles and sometimes wontons. Not a drop of wine, but two or three cigarettes. The entire pack of cigarettes smoked by the management staff was bright. When food is brought in, most death row inmates take a few bites, and only a few bites. Some are forced to speak out under the persuasion of others, and some are influenced by tradition and stutter, but cannot swallow at all, or even spit them out. Very few people can actually eat it.

Think about it. Tomorrow, I will say goodbye to this beautiful world, I will say goodbye to all my relatives and everything. What kind of broad mind do I have to have in order to wolf down food and drink? Death row prisoners are just ordinary people, not pure people. I have seen some death row prisoners eating half a bowl of noodles. I also ate the last meal before execution, but very little. Not eating at all is a common practice. Some of the prisoners on death row are not very popular, and some only try to persuade them symbolically. Whether they like to eat or not is no one's business.

The death row prisoner is pessimistic and desperate. They didn't eat or drink a sip of water and stayed in a daze until dawn. After receiving the notice of the final verdict, the death row inmate indicated that there was no room for redemption in the case and that his hope of survival had been completely shattered. Under the attack of such pessimism and despair, it is normal to have no appetite for food.
