The condemned may get to pick their last meal, but they don’t always get it. The rules vary from state to state. In Florida, the food for the last meal must be purchased locally and the cost is limited to $40. In Oklahoma, the cost is limited to $25. Alcohol or tobacco are usually forbidden. Many states don’t give prisoners the option of choosing their meal at all.
