| Inmate #1: KFC 5 piece chicken, fries, chili, chocolate milk. |
This series was created seperately by photographer
James Reynolds and the Brooklyn based Chef/Artist
Julia Ziegler Haynes respectively (Her website is currently down). At different points in time they decided to recreate the last meals of various death row inmates from around the nation and photograph them as a series. Its a tad on the morbid side, but its really curious to see how inmates handled this last request....A chance to eat anything they wanted, a last chance to enjoy something they probably hadn't had in years.
More final meals after the jump.

Definitely interesting to see what some people would choose. Some definitely looked better than others! Considering that most (if not all) of those on death row are there because they murdered someone, it's sad to think their victims didn't get to choose their last meal. Though admittedly, I don't think I could really enjoy such a meal if I knew it was my last. Cool list!
ReplyDeleteThe cracker and six cokes guy cracked me up. I feel kind of bad about that.
