TL;DR Summary

Derek Chauvin, the former Minneapolis police officer convicted of murdering George Floyd, was stabbed in a special unit inside a Tucson prison, raising concerns about inmate safety in the troubled federal Bureau of Prisons. This incident follows a series of attacks against high-profile inmates, including the stabbing of Larry Nassar, the doctor convicted of sexually abusing young female gymnasts. The Federal Bureau of Prisons confirmed the stabbing but did not identify Chauvin by name. He is likely to survive the attack. The prison remains on lockdown, and family visits have been suspended indefinitely. The incident highlights the need for improved procedures and oversight of high-profile inmates within the federal prison system.
