The Last Suppers

Many children have grown up in the shadow of Louisiana’s Greenmount State Penitentiary. Most of them – sons and daughters of corrections officers and staff – left the place as soon as they could. Yet Ginny Polk chose to come back to work as a prison cook. She knows the harsh reality of life within those walls – the cries of men being beaten, the lines of shuffling inmates chained together. Yet she has never seen them as monsters, not even the ones sentenced to execution. That’s why, among her duties, Ginny has taken on a special responsibility: preparing their last meals.
