I don't think tax evasion carries the death penalty but I have read a book about prisoners on Texas Death Row, they can request a final meal. Many request a steak, some cheeseburgers, others things more exotic. What really struck me, on reading it, was that some prisoners requested no special meal. They simply wanted to eat whatever the other prisoners had on the menu for that particular day, I found that very noble and humbling when i read it.
