The U.S. Federal Bureau of Prisons said on Tuesday that Derek Chauvin, a former Minneapolis police officer found guilty of George Floyd’s death, has been sent to a jail in Texas. This comes nine months after Chauvin survived an Arizona prison stabbing. An communication from a Federal Bureau of Prisons representative stated, “We can confirm Derek Michael Chauvin was transferred to the Federal Correctional Institution (FCI) Big Spring on August 20, 2024.”
According to a December statement from the U.S. Justice Department, Chauvin was stabbed roughly 22 times during his time in prison in Tucson last year. Despite suffering severe injuries, Chauvin managed to live. Serving a 22-1/2-year sentence for murder, Chauvin was found guilty in April 2021 of Floyd’s death. The conviction was generally seen as a historic condemnation of the disproportionate use of force by the police against African Americans. Floyd’s civil rights were violated, and he is currently serving a 21-year term for that offense.
Following Chauvin’s (white) more than eight-minute stranglehold on the arrested Black man’s neck in a murder captured on cell phone video, Floyd’s killing in 2020 sparked global protests against racism and police brutality. In addition to other charges, the suspect in Chauvin’s stabbing was accused of attempting murder. On Tuesday, Thomas Lane, a former Minneapolis police officer found guilty of second-degree manslaughter in the Floyd death, was allowed to leave federal prison in Colorado sentence of over three years.
