Lawrence Russell Brewer

Known for his insatiable appetite, Brewer’s last meal request included two chicken-fried steaks with gravy, a bacon cheeseburger, and a vast array of other foods, culminating in a staggering amount of over 30 items. In an ironic twist, he refused to eat any of it when it arrived.

Timothy McVeigh

The Oklahoma City Bomber kept it simple but bizarre, requesting two pints of mint-chocolate chip ice cream. Interestingly, he reportedly consumed the ice cream alone in his cell the night before his execution.

Victor Feguer

Feguer made a singular and symbolic request: a single olive with a pit, hoping that an olive tree would sprout from his grave. ​

James Edward Smith

Smith stood out for his unusual request for a clump of dirt. His request was denied due to food restrictions, leading to a less-than-satisfying meal of yogurt instead​.

Gary Carl Simmons, Jr.

Simmons aimed high with a caloric bomb, requesting a meal that added up to nearly 29,000 calories, which included pizza, Doritos, and various desserts. However, he did not manage to finish the feast​.

Phillip Workman

Instead of indulging in a last meal, Workman asked that a large vegetarian pizza be donated to a homeless person in Nashville. While the prison refused the request, the community responded by donating hundreds of pizzas to local shelters​.

Karla Faye Tucker

This infamous female killer asked for a plate of fried chicken, sweet tea, and a slice of cake, revealing a taste for comfort food in her final moments.

Peter J. Miniel

Miniel took the last meal request to another level, asking for 20 beef tacos, two double cheeseburgers, and a variety of desserts, including cakes and ice cream.

John Wayne Gacy

The "Killer Clown" opted for a feast of 12 fried shrimp, a bucket of fried chicken, and a pound of strawberries, reflecting his familiarity with fast food as a former KFC owner.

Gerald Lee Mitchell

Mitchell had a sweet tooth, requesting only an assortment bag of Jolly Ranchers. This simple choice stands out among the more complex requests​.
