The so-called death penalty meal is the food that the death row inmates in the prison choose before executing the death penalty, that is, the "last supper" of the death row inmates.

At the beginning of 20 10, 23-year-old British photographer James Reynolds discovered these special recipes and began to study the different diets of prisoners. He bought plates and food, arranged them regularly, and took a series of photos about food in American prisons. These foods are the last supper that people sentenced to death choose before execution.

There are many seemingly incredible varieties in these menu items of "Death Penalty Meal". Reynolds found that the "last supper" chosen by the condemned prisoners was a little different, and some were just a black olive on a bright yellow plate (used in the most heavily guarded prison in the United States); Have a plenty of a pack of cigarettes and a box of matches; Have a plenty of six bottles of coke and a thin soda biscuit; There is also an execution meal consisting of coke, chewing gum and onions. ...

There are also prisoners who want several packs of paracetamol (a painkiller) and even guns. Of course, their request was turned down. There are many prisoners who refused the last supper.

According to the regulations, American death row inmates can order any meal for their last dinner, but the price can't exceed 40 dollars.
