Death Row – Last words of every Texas inmate executed since 1982
This list is yet another example of how the condemned receive something that neither their victims nor most other convicts get: a ceremonial death.  They get last words.  A last meal.  Last rites with the clergy.  Candlelight vigil by those against capital punishment.  Final appeals to the courts and to the governor for clemency.  Witnesses to the execution.  To rot in obscurity would be greater punishment for these people.  Instead they get to go out as celebrities, complete with profiles on an official government website.  Disgusting.
