A Photographer Captures The Last Meals Of Wrongfully Executed Inmates

Part of a larger campaign that uses food to change minds.

Amnesty International Puerto Rico has fronted a campaign for the exoneration of Death Row inmates by displaying food requested by the wrongfully accused before their deaths. Here were their last meals, photographed by James Reynolds.

Ruben Cantu, executed for murder in 1993, presumed innocent in 2005 (then proven innocent in 2010).
