Here's a depressing story from CNN. A death row prisoner in Tennessee, Philip Workman, requested a pizza be delivered to a homeless man as his last meal, and the state refused. A spokeswoman for Riverbend Maximum Security Institution said "We can get some special things for the inmate but the taxpayers don't really give us permission to donate to charity." CNN says a last meal cannot cost more than $20. Where is this pie coming from, Una Pizza Napoletana?
