Derek Chauvin, ex-officer convicted of murdering George Floyd, moved to new prison after being stabbed
Another former Minneapolis officer, Thomas Lane, who held down Floyd’s legs as he struggled to breathe, was released from federal prison in Colorado on Tuesday.
Derek Chauvin, the former Minneapolis police officer convicted of killing George Floyd, was transferred to a federal prison in Texas almost nine months after he was stabbed in a different facility, the federal Bureau of Prisons told The Associated Press on Tuesday.
Chauvin, 47, is now housed at the Federal Correctional Institution in Big Spring, a low-security prison. He was previously held in Arizona at FCI Tucson in August 2022 to simultaneously serve a 21-year federal sentence for violating Floyd’s civil rights and a 22 1/2-year state sentence for second-degree murder.
The transfer comes nearly nine months after Chauvin was stabbed 22 times in prison by a former gang leader and one-time FBI informant.
No one should be stabbed in prison, but of all the people who are, this is who I feel the least sorry for.
I don't feel the need to wish people harm, but I also don't feel the need to care equally for everyone who is harmed. Sucks to suck.
For me it would be Sheriff Arpaio. That definitely happened in the good timeline where he didn't get a presidential pardon.
This is the most appropriate response so far. Condoning violence on someone serving their sentence is kind of fucked. If death were an option, many people would opt for it and this just shows how little people grasp the severity of time is as a punishment.
After approximately two years, people start to lose the ability to live a normal life. They end up becoming institutionalized and only being able to live in a prison facility.
This helps nobody. This does not rehabilitate, teach, or forgive. You can't get back what was lost, but you can promote growth, or feed hate I suppose. Hate breeds more hate though.
Some people are beyond rehabilitation. You let them out and they something terrible again are you going to say aww shucks, the child rapist got out and raped another child, really thought the rehab would have helped?
So that person that can't be rehabilitated, will spend the rest of their life in jail while our tax dollars pay for him to live, meanwhile the victim will live the rest of their life traumatized by what he did, with no support of help from our tax dollars. He will never offer anything useful to society.
I've read that permanent effects happen after 12 hours or so. Not all but some.
At least we know part of the answer to: "How many times does one have to stab a pig to kill it." Clearly the answer is > 22.

I feel like this should be the bigger story.
With a rap sheet like that, he should move down to Florida and apply to be a cop. They'll hire him in a heartbeat.
I guess one way for a snitch to get some rep back is to stab a cop 22 times 🤷♂️
That really sucks. I completely forgot to grab dip earlier at the store. Full bag of chips, and I gotta eat them dry watching my show tonight. Booo
Is he a knife magnet? How does this keep happening to him? Did he do something wrong, or something?
I'd imagine there are a lot of people in prison who aren't especially fond of cops
I'd say outside prison, as well.
Then be infamous for triggering a huge number of protests and a few more murders of innocent bystanders.
Check out the very first sentence of the article you didn't read:
Derek Chauvin, the former Minneapolis police officer convicted of killing George Floyd, was transferred to a federal prison in Texas almost nine months after he was stabbed in a different facility
For the life of me, I can't understand why so many people think they can absorb an entire article through the headline...
Perhaps this will motivate police unions to fight as hard against conditions that allow prison stabbings as they do against people being held accountable for murder.
Hah! Good one. They'll just fight to make it impossible to send a cop to prison no matter how many people they murder.
I could go for a ceaser salad
He committed murder he should be in a maximum security prison.
That's anger talking. It doesn't make sense for compliant, low risk inmates to be in maximum security prisons.
Nah nah nah. Guy needs super max for his own protection. In this day and age, officer safety is a real concern, even with disgraced former officers. Derek "Soft Derriere" Chauvin needs full 23 hour a day isolation interspersed with supervised private yard time. Anything less and I'm just petrified poor Derek won't survive. Shame.
Oh good, another group of inmates will get the opportunity to stab him some more.
Sharing is caring after all.
Sad, WLM :)
ITT: "leftists" celebrating the brutality of our fascist punitive correctional system.
Prisons are fucking awful but if they are going to stay awful I'm glad at least ONE victim is a member of the fascists that helped make it what it is.
No, celebrating justice that happened to take place there.
I'm against the system that allowed him to be stabbed in prison, but I'd be lying if I said I'm not happy he was stabbed. I wish the absolute worst upon people who abuse a position of public trust to such a degree that they kill someone.
