Record number of executions in Georgia
In 2016, the State of Georgia executed nine people. This set a record for the most executions conducted in Georgia in a calendar year. Prior to this, the most executions conducted in the state were five executions. This happened in 1987 and again in 2015.
Last meals
Henry Hargreaves, a Brooklyn-based photographer, recreated (and then photographed) the last meals served to all twenty men executed in 2016. Through his series, entitled A Year of Killing, Hargreaves sought to educate people about the use of the death penalty. This work is a sequel to his 2011 series No Seconds, which recreated the last meals ordered by famous criminals like Ted Bundy.
In 2016, the most-ordered food was steak, followed by pizza, although some of the condemned prisoners elected to forgo a special last meal.
