Death Row Delivery: Instacart driver picks up chicken wing platter, but she didn't know it was for a prison inmate

Chrishalea Farley thought she could be delivering a final meal April 10. Turns out, that wasn't the case at all.

JACKSON, Ga. — Instacart driver Chrishalea Farley says she's finally "seen it all."

She thought the order she picked up on April 10 would be a simple one. It was only two items. She knew the delivery area. So, she claimed it.

Farley says she grabbed the order from a Publix near her McDonough home and started driving to the delivery address in Jackson. It wasn't until she was almost to her destination when she saw the order notes: "See Chaplain Miller for death row inmate [name redacted] feast."

The delivery was bound for the Georgia Diagnostic Prison—home of Georgia's male death row.

"He done sat down and ordered a whole meal on Instacart! That man gonna eat good in that prison!" Farley said on TikTok, after trying to deliver a platter of chicken wings and potato wedges to the prison.

For the rest of her drive, Farley sat in her thoughts, solemnly thinking of the man on the other end of the Instacart app.

"I felt bad initially because I was like, 'Dang. Out of all the people, I'm about to deliver this man his last meal," Farley said Tuesday.

When she got to the prison, she found out that wasn't the case.

"I gave them the inmate's name. It said, 'See Chaplain Miller.' And I did all that," she explained. "So, by then, they came to my car. They opened the door. They looked, and they said, 'We can't do all that.' I said, 'What do you mean?'"

Farley says prison staff told her to take the platter home or give it to someone else. She was still worried about the inmate and the food he ordered.

"I did ask the lady, I'm like, 'Well, is he about to get executed today?' She's like, 'No, he's not on the list.' So I'm confused at this point," Farley said.

So, with peace of mind and three hungry kids at home, there was only one more thing for Farley to do.

"All we know is all flavors were equally good. And we ate all of them," she laughed.

Farley no longer has access to the inmate's name, and the Georgia Department of Corrections did not respond to several requests for comment. In January, they said they confiscated 1,611 cell phones across Georgia prisons since October.

There are no new charges related to the incident in Butts County Superior Court for any of Georgia's male death row inmates.
