Prisons and Prison Life: What are some last meals ordered by inmates?

Fun fact: many states have a financial cap on last meals. Oklahoma's is a measly $15. (This may be why you see a lot of fast food). Most restrict tobacco and alcohol, though this is not the case in some non-U.S. countries.

Here are a few interesting ones:

Adolf Eichmann: German Nazi senior officer and Holocaust mass murder organizerr: Declined a special meal, preferring a bottle of Carmel, a dry red Israeli wine. (NB: WTF???)

Philip Workman, executed in Tennessee in 2007: He declined a special meal for himself, but he asked for a large vegetarian pizza to be given to a homeless person in Nashville, Tennessee. This request was denied by the prison, but carried out by others across the country.

and my favorite ...

Ricky Ray Rector, executed in Arkansas in 1992: Steak, fried chicken, cherry Kool-Aid, and a pecan pie. Rector, rendered mentally disabled by his suicide attempt after murdering a police officer, said that he did not eat the pie because he was saving it for later.
