The Final Meals of Death Row Inmates

John Wayne Gacy

Gacy was lethally injected on 33 charges of rape and murder. He requested 12 fried shrimp, a bucket of KFC fried chicken, french fries and strawberries. Before he was convicted, Gacy had been a manager at 3 KFC restaurants. Creepy and greasy.

Aileen Wuornos

Wuornos was a convicted serial killer who was executed in Florida in 2002 (they made a movie about her too), she declined a special meal but had a hamburger and other snack food from the prison’s canteen. Later, she also drank a cup of coffee.

Stephen Wayne Anderson

Anderson was an American murderer who was executed in California’s San Quentin State Prison by lethal injection in 2002. He killed an 81-year-old piano teacher by shooting her in the face. His last meal was two grilled cheese sandwiches, radishes, 475gms of cottage cheese, hominy (weird corn stuff), one slice of peach pie and one litre of chocolate chip ice cream.

Ronnie Lee Gardner

Charged with 2 counts of murder, Gardner was controversially executed in 2010 in Utah by a firing squad. Gardner ate his last meal of steak, lobster tail, apple pie, vanilla ice cream and 7-Up soft drink, before beginning a 48-hour fast while watching “The Lord of the Rings” film trilogy.

Ricky Ray Rector

Ricky Ray Rector was executed in 1992 for the 1981 murder of police officer Robert Martin in Conway, Arkansas. He requested steak, fried chicken, cherry Kool-Aid and pecan pie. He left the pecan pie on the side of the tray, telling the guards who came to take him to the execution chamber that he was saving it “for later.” Freaking freaky. Shiver.

Eric Nance

Eric Nance was an American man who was convicted of murder in the state of Arkansas. Sentenced to a lethal injection, Nance ordered a final meal of two bacon cheeseburgers, french fries, one litre of chocolate chip cookie dough ice cream, and two Coca-Colas.
