A delivery driver named Chrishalea Farley attracted attention online after she claimed in a TikTok video that she was requested to deliver food to a death row inmate in a Georgia prison. Farley, a part-time Instacart driver from McDonough, Georgia, received a request for a large wing platter and potato wedges from a local Publix to be picked up and delivered to a nearby location. She soon realized she was driving to the Georgia Diagnostic and Classification State Prison in Jackson, where male death row inmates are housed. The Instacart order notes directed her to “See chaplain Miller for death row inmate.”
When Farley arrived at the prison, a correctional officer asked her to pull her car forward so they could review her delivery attempt. She provided the name given in the delivery instructions and mentioned Chaplain Miller as the contact person. However, the officers informed her that they could not receive that particular order. Farley was advised to give the food away or donate it, as they could not accept it at the prison. She ended up keeping the wings and enjoying a meal with her children that evening. Farley shared a video explaining the incident on TikTok, which received over 590,000 views.
The food order that Farley was asked to deliver totaled $15.66, and she received a tip of $3.23. The dropoff took place on April 10 at 1:13 p.m., with the distance from Publix to the prison being 38.4 miles. Farley shared screenshots of her shopper “batch summary” with Fox News Digital. The strange situation left Farley with a mix of emotions, from initially thinking she was delivering someone’s last meal, to wondering if an inmate had ordered food through Instacart on a mobile phone. While she was not laughing at the inmate’s situation, Farley found humor in the unusual circumstances of the delivery.
Farley’s story raised questions about how such a delivery request could have happened and whether an inmate was ordering food himself or if there was a misunderstanding in the instructions. Farley expressed that she was not making light of the inmate’s situation, but the unexpected nature of the delivery request kept her laughing throughout the experience. Fox News Digital reached out to both Instacart and the Georgia Diagnostic and Classification State Prison for comment on the situation, but responses were not provided at the time of reporting. The incident highlighted the unusual and sometimes humorous situations that delivery drivers can encounter while on the job.
