age gerald lee mitchell's last meal gives the word strange an all-new meaning this meal consisted of only a bag filled with jolly ranchers candy gerald went out at a sugar high we suppose james edward smith went on a robbery spree in 1983 that didn't end well for one insurance executive smith was arraigned and found guilty of this act his last meal request might be the strangest of all on the list with james asking for a lump of dirt some thought it was for chowing down on but others speculated that he wanted to use the lump of soil to perform a voodoo ritual since the soil was of the rakunda kind which is associated with witchcraft this was denied and he had to make do with yogurt philip workman was a bad man during his day but his last meal request can be considered to have done good for the homeless see when he was asked what he wanted for his last meal philip said a large vegetarian pizza to be given to a random homeless person good gesture until the prison personnel denied his request he ended up eating nothing however during his d-day large numbers of vegetarian pizzas started showing up at homeless shelters in tennessee they didn't come from only tennessee but also from all over the country a guy called john spankling was found guilty of aggravated robbery his last request was not for the finest food that the state could provide but rather a flask of jack daniels this he indulged with the prison superintendent and afterwards florida moved to ban alcohol in any form in last meal requests eileen wunus is famous for her dubious acts during her time and has had her life story made into a critically acclaimed movie this movie is the 2003 monster and get this eileen munoz is played by the one and only charlize theron all she demanded for her last meal a cup of

requested a single peach and a banana plus a salad that had italian or ranch dressing which she gladly received found guilty and sentenced in 1985 ronnie lee gardner fully merits a place on this list his last meal request was one that baffles the mind he ordered lobster tail vanilla ice cream apple pie and steak and ate all of this while enjoying the lord of the rings trilogy movie seems he was just trying to make his sitting as long as possible since the combined run time of the lord of the rings trilogy it's about 11 hours wow i'm gobsmacked victor harry federer was sent to prison in 1963 at the age of 28 years old for a gruesome kidnapping his attorneys tried to get clemency from the then president of the united states john f kennedy and jfk denied their clemency victor requested quite an unusual meal after that rather than the finest champagne potatoes fried in chicken gravy and the meatiest pot roast in the state this fella asked for and got a single olive with the pit left in afterwards the olive was found inside february's suit pocket and the reason was that victor hoped that an olive tree would spread out and mark his passing lawrence russell brewer put in a last meal request that could have fed a house full of hungry people and when his fine food was delivered he refused to even touch it this convict asked for a couple of chicken fried steaks loaded with gravy and complete with generous onion slices plus tomatoes bell peppers a cheese omelet with beef mince jalapenos and a triple patty bacon cheeseburger dessert consisted of a pint of ice cream as well as peanut butter fudge decorated with mashed peanuts a trio of root beers was also given to wash down the feast the fact that all that he asked for was provided and not consumed made the state of texas so furious that it did away with the tradition of a prisoner getting a fine meal of his choosing on his d-day velma barfield was born into a poor family and once in school realized just how wide the financial difference was between her and her classmates this was when she started her dubious life in crime her last meal consisted of cheese doodles washed down with coca-cola ronnie threadgill was 40 when he requested his last meal for this he asked for mashed potatoes coated with country gravy vegetables baked chicken sweet peas punch tea bread and water fortunately for him at that particular time the state of texas had banned last meal requests this meant he had to chow down on standard prison food ronald dale conklin was found guilty of homicide and decided to put his taste for fine dining into practice for his last meal he requested four and got baked potato with sour cream deveined shrimp sauteed and garlic butter with lemon corn on the cob bacon wrapped filet mignon asparagus with hollandaise sauce chives and real bacon bits goat cheese french bread with butter vanilla bean ice cream cantaloupe and iced tea conklin either clearly had an expensive taste or just wanted to try what people in the high life gobbled down stephen michael woods jr was found guilty and in prison he became a noted advocate for prisoner in human rights and found support from multiple prominent organizations and individuals his last meal was quite an impressive site with woods asking for and getting two pounds of bacon a large four meat pizza a quartet of fried chicken breasts five chicken fried steaks two pints of ice cream fries twelve garlic bread sticks with a side of marinara and a couple of bacon hamburgers plus two each of mountain dew pepsi root beer and sweet tea sometime in

number of steamed clams half of a pumpkin pie strawberries and cream half a dozen barbecued spare ribs and a tin of spaghettios cracked open and served at room temperature along with meatballs this last meal was quite a challenge for the kitchen staff to repair and they apparently miffed by serving him spaghetti rather than spaghettios he asked for it must have pained thomas quite a bit with him lamenting i did not get my spaghetti house i got spaghetti i want the press to know this john wayne gacy was one of the most widely known crooks of his time he worked as a manager at three kfc restaurants in his hometown of waterloo his last meal consisted of a pound of strawberries a bucket of original recipe kfc french fries and a dozen fried shrimp looks like he still cherished that finger-licking goodness till the end david leon woods was a convict sent to prison in 1984 22 years later he sat down to a meal of pizza plus a birthday cake and he was generous enough to share all of this with his family he did however reveal that through jesus christ he had received peace during his stay at the prison timothy mcveigh was a gulf war veteran who wasn't too happy with the federal
