Tennessee Woman Scheduled for First Execution
Tennessee Prepares for Rare Female Execution
For the first time in over 200 years, Tennessee is set to execute a woman,
Christa Gail Pike, attracting nationwide attention and sparking debate over capital punishment.
A Young Convict
Pike, now 49, was convicted in 1996 for a crime committed at age 18,
making her the youngest woman in the U.S.at the time to receive a death sentence.
She has remained Tennessee’s only female death row inmate for nearly three decades.
Execution and Appeals
Her execution is scheduled for September 30, 2026, at Riverbend Maximum Security Institution.
Supporters say it enforces accountability, while opponents cite her youth,
troubled background, and mental health issues as reasons for clemency.
Ongoing Debate
Pike’s lawyers continue to appeal, asking for life without parole.
The case has reignited discussion over whether capital punishment should apply to those sentenced as minors,
highlighting the tension between justice and compassion.
