“Enough is enough,” state Sen. John Whitmire wrote on Thursday to prison officials, prompting the move. The letter was in response to the dinner requested, but not eaten, by white supremacist Lawrence Brewer before he was put to death on Wednesday for a notorious 1998 killing in which James Byrd Jr., a black man, was dragged behind a truck for several miles.

Brewer requested an elaborate meal  but when it arrived around 4 p.m. at his cell, he declined it all, telling prison officials he was not hungry. Whitmire, who chairs the Texas Senate Committee on Criminal Justice, threatened legislation if the prison system did not end the practice, which rarely results in the inmate getting exactly what is requested anyway.

Brad Livingston, executive director of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, replied that Whitmire’s concerns were valid and the practice would halt immediately. The prisoners will be served “the same meal served to other offenders,” Livingston’s said.
