George Floyd killer Derek Chauvin moved from harsh Minnesota prison to 'comfortable' facility in Arizona
TUCSON, ARIZONA: Derek Chauvin, the former Minneapolis police officer convicted in George Floyd's killing, has reportedly been moved from a Minnesota state prison to a medium-security federal prison in Arizona, where he may be held under less restrictive conditions.
Chauvin, 46, was picked up Wednesday, August 24, from a maximum-security prison in a Minneapolis suburb—where he would spend most of his day in solitary confinement—to the Federal Correctional Institution in Tucson. According to the Bureau of Prisons, the Tucson facility houses 266 inmates, both male and female, and includes a high-security penitentiary and a minimum-security satellite camp. Bureau of Prisons spokeswoman Randilee Giamussoau said she couldn't detail the circumstances of Chauvin's confinement due to privacy, safety, and security concerns, the Associated Press reported.
