This is the procedure in Indiana:

If the condemned offender wishes to receive a special meal, he will be permitted to order his choice of food (within reason, based on availability and legality) seven (7) days prior to execution. This meal will be eaten thirty-six (36) to forty-eight (48) hours before the execution and is to be consumed in one sitting, not exceeding four hours. Any leftovers will be removed from the cell and discarded. The condemned offender is to have nothing to eat or drink past 12:00 p.m. on the day of the execution. A limited amount of water will be permitted in order to take oral medication.

Please let me know if you have any additional questions at this time.
