The opportunity to make a last, or final statement, has generally been offered to criminals before they are executed. The Texas Department of Criminal Justice maintains a list of executed offenders' last statements. The most recently executed offender, Michael Richard had this to say:

Yes, I would like for my family to take care of each other. I love you Angel, Let's ride. I guess this is it.[1]

The inmate's final statement is taken two hours before their execution, and they are allowed to amend the statement immediately prior to execution.[2]
