田纳西州州长任命惩教厅副厅长汉森为临时署长：斯特林11月3日转任州长高级顾问
田纳西州戴维森县纳什维尔市消息，2026年10月30日，州长比尔·李任命克里斯托弗·汉森为田纳西州惩教署临时署长，立即履职，同时继续兼任现职。汉森自2023年加入惩教署以来一直担任社区监管助理署长，分管全州约1100名缓刑与假释工作人员。
此次人事变动距前署长弗兰克·斯特拉达辞职近一个月，斯特拉达于10月3日宣布离职。斯特拉达的离职与今年两起失败的处决执行有关：5月对托尼·卡拉瑟斯的处决因未能建立静脉通道而被叫停；9月30日对克丽丝塔·派克的处决在两轮注射后仍未致死，派克随后被送往医院救治。
州长已下令对注射程序展开第三方独立调查，并暂停今年剩余时间的全部处决，由前联邦检察官埃德·斯坦顿牵头调查。10月30日，派克通过律师发表自处决失败以来的首份声明，称自己持续疼痛并基本处于隔离状态。州政府表示，临时署长任命旨在确保惩教署在调查期间维持正常运转。

Tennessee Governor Names Deputy Commissioner Dwight Hansen Interim Corrections Chief: Strickland Moves to Senior Adviser on November 3
In Nashville, Davidson County, Tennessee, Governor Bill Lee on October 30 appointed Christopher Hansen as interim commissioner of the Tennessee Department of Correction, effective immediately, while he continues in his current role. Hansen has served as assistant commissioner of community supervision since joining the department in 2023, overseeing roughly 1,100 probation and parole staff statewide.
The appointment comes nearly a month after former Commissioner Frank Strada announced his resignation on October 3. Strada's departure followed two failed execution attempts this year: the May execution of Tony Carruthers was called off after the execution team could not set the needed IV lines, and the September 30 execution of Christa Pike did not result in death after two rounds of injections; Pike was taken to a hospital.
The governor has ordered a third-party independent investigation into the lethal injection protocol, led by former U.S. Attorney Ed Stanton, and paused all remaining executions this year. On October 30, Pike issued her first statement through her lawyer since the failed execution, saying she is in constant pain and held largely in isolation. The state said the interim appointment is meant to keep the department running during the investigation.
