Before dying, the prisoner asked for such food, the police was surprised to hear that, in return he gave only curd!

You must have seen in movies that when a prisoner is sentenced to death, his last wish is fulfilled before him. In many countries, food of choice is allowed before death. The same was done in America in the 1990s. Here, when a prisoner was asked what was the last thing he wanted to eat, he gave a name that shocked the policemen. They did not allow him to eat those things, but only yogurt (yogurt was the last food given to a prisoner on death row).

As reported by the Daily Star News website, in 1990, James Edward Smith was 37 years old and was executed in Texas, America (ordered to eat dirt in Texas prisoners). At the time, his case became very popular because the last thing James wanted for food was very strange. He asked for clay to perform the African tradition (voodoo), which he wanted to eat. According to this ritual, if the soil of the cemetery is eaten, the next birth of the person will be happy.

Yogurt is given
The Texas Department of Criminal Justice considered it a very strange dish and refused to give it to him. Finally he was fed plain yogurt. Smith shot and killed bank manager Larry in 1983, then was arrested. He went to rob the Union National Life Insurance Company branch in Houston.

This has happened before
On June 26, 1990, Smith was killed by a lethal injection. However, this is not the only case when a prisoner demanded such a strange last meal. A similar incident happened in America itself when there were only a few hours left to live, there was a chance to have a favorite dinner, the police were surprised to hear what the prisoner wanted!
