Leadership Transition
Tennessee’s prison chief resigned following a failed lethal injection attempt on inmate Christa Pike, who was hospitalized and placed on a ventilator after the botched execution. The Department of Correction Commissioner, Frank Strada, announced his resignation amid an independent review of the incident, which involved difficulties in administering the execution drugs and alleged staff errors. Pike, convicted of murder, was the first woman in Tennessee to face execution in over 200 years, but the procedure was halted by the complications.
