Death row meals spark big questions in Boise

Walking into the Boise Art Museum right now, you’re hit with nearly 1,000 blue-and-white plates—each one hand-painted with the last meal requested by a death row inmate. Julie Green’s “The Last Supper” isn’t just about food; it’s a gut-punch reminder of the humanity behind the headlines. Some plates show lavish feasts, others just a single honey bun or nothing at all. The stories behind these meals are raw and deeply personal, making you wonder: What does it mean to offer comfort before taking a life? How do we reconcile ritual and justice? #Entertainment #Painting #BoiseArtMuseum
