Chrishalea Farley, a part-time Instacart driver, attracted attention online after a TikTok video where she claimed to have been asked to deliver a food order to a death row inmate in a Georgia prison. The delivery was for a large wing platter and potato wedges from a local Publix to the Georgia Diagnostic and Classification State Prison in Jackson.
Initially, Farley did not think much of the delivery request until she realized she was driving to a prison where male death row inmates are housed. The Instacart order notes directed her to “See chaplain Miller for death row inmate.” Farley thought she was delivering a last meal to an inmate and was surprised by the unusual request.
Upon arriving at the prison, Farley was asked to pull her car forward by a correctional officer so that her delivery attempt could be reviewed. She provided the delivery information and the name of the contact person, Chaplain Miller. However, the officers informed her that they could not accept the particular order and advised her to give the food away or donate it.
Farley was left with the food order, which totaled $15.66, and received a tip of $3.23. She decided to keep the wings for herself and her kids to enjoy a meal. Farley shared the incident on TikTok, where it gained over 590,000 views, sparking a mix of emotions from thinking she was delivering someone’s last meal to confusion about how the order came about.
The delivery occurred on April 10 at 1:13 p.m., with a distance of 38.4 miles from Publix to the prison. Farley found humor in the situation but made it clear that she was not laughing at the inmate’s predicament. She expressed that the bizarre moment left her laughing at the situation’s absurdity.
Farley’s video caught the attention of many online, prompting inquiries to both Instacart and Georgia Diagnostic and Classification State Prison for comment. The delivery driver’s unexpected experience highlighted the unusual requests that drivers may encounter while working for delivery services, sparking conversation and curiosity among viewers.
