It's a long tradition carried over from Roman times. I think there was also some superstition related to it as well at one point in time. They believed giving a person their last meal before killing them would stop them from haunting the people that would be involved in their death.

This is the menu that the guy turned down after ordering it all:

two chicken-fried steaks with gravy and sliced onions; a triple-patty bacon cheeseburger; a cheese omelet with ground beef, tomatoes, onions, bell peppers and jalapeƱos; a bowl of fried okra with ketchup; one pound of barbecued meat with half a loaf of white bread; three fajitas; a meat-lover’s pizza; one pint of Blue Bell Ice Cream; a slab of peanut-butter fudge with crushed peanuts; and three root beer.
