Condemned Columbus Stocking Strangler Carlton Gary declined to be served a special last meal before his execution Wednesday, so he will be served what's on the prison menu:

The regular prison food that evening will be a grilled cheeseburger, oven browned potatoes, baked beans, cole slaw, cookies and a grape beverage, says the Georgia Department of Corrections.

His execution by lethal injection is set for 7 p.m. Wednesday in the Georgia Diagnostic and Classification Prison in Jackson.

Forty-six men have been executed in Georgia since 1973, when the U.S. Supreme Court reinstated the death penalty. Gary is to be the 24th inmate put to death by lethal injection.

Currently Georgia has 103 people on death row.
