Christa Pike, who survived Tennessee’s attempt to execute her by lethal injection, has been moved back to prison, her lawyers said on Saturday.
Pike, 50, was discharged from the hospital and is back at the Debra K. Johnson Rehabilitation Centre, the women’s prison where she was housed for 30 years, her lawyers said in a written statement.
“She is grateful to the first responders and her medical team for their care in these extraordinary circumstances. She is continuing to receive medical care at the prison, and we will continue to track her recovery,” the statement said.
