Derek Chauvin, the ex-Minneapolis police officer convicted in the murder of George Floyd, was viciously attacked in prison. The assault occurred at approximately 12:30 p.m. local time on Friday. Chauvin was seriously injured by another inmate at the Federal Correctional Institution, in Tucson, Arizona.
Tucson is a medium-security prison that houses 380 inmates.
This incident marks the second high-profile attack on a federal prisoner within the last five months, following the stabbing of disgraced sports doctor Larry Nassar in July at a federal penitentiary in Florida.
Moreover, it is the second major security breach at the Tucson federal prison in just over a year, with a prior incident involving an inmate attempting to shoot a visitor.
In 2019, high-profile inmate financier Jeffrey Epstein committed suicide while in custody prior to going on trial.
