SUMMARY

Derek Chauvin, the former Minneapolis police officer, has been moved to FCI Big Spring, a low-security prison in Texas, after surviving a stabbing incident. This transfer occurred nine months after Chauvin was stabbed 22 times by an inmate in Arizona. He is serving a 22-and-a-half-year sentence for the murder of George Floyd and an additional 21 years for violating Floyd's civil rights.

The attack in November 2023 was allegedly planned by fellow inmate John Turscak, who has been charged for the assault. Chauvin's transfer coincided with the release of Thomas Lane, another officer involved in Floyd's death.
