Tennessee Releases Redacted Execution Manual, Sparking Transparency Concerns

Credited from: APNEWS

  • Tennessee's Department of Correction has released a redacted version of its updated execution manual with vague details and omissions.
  • Initial refusal to disclose the manual was based on the claim of protecting the identities of execution personnel.
  • The new 44-page manual is significantly shorter than its 2018 predecessor, lacking detailed procedures for drug procurement and testing.
  • Changes include the authorization for the state to deviate from protocols and the outsourcing of execution responsibilities to outside contractors.
  • Critics, including public defenders, express concerns that the new manual does not address key issues related to drug sourcing and lacks necessary transparency.
