Derek Chauvin, a former Minneapolis law enforcement officer found guilty of the infamous George Floyd case, fell victim to a serious assault at a medium-security federal prison in Arizona last Friday, according to an inside source. The prison, identified as the Federal Correctional Institution, Tucson, is known to have a history of security issues and insufficient staffing.

The Bureau of Prisons verified one of their inmates had indeed been assaulted at FCI Tucson around 12:30 p.m. local time. In a press statement, they disclosed that their staff had swiftly managed the situation and carried out emergency procedures to keep the assaulted inmate alive. The victim's identity was not disclosed in the press statement, but he was promptly taken to a nearby hospital for further assessment and treatment.

To ensure safety and control, the Bureau of Prisons notified the FBI, revealing no staff had been injured in the incident. In light of the situation, all visitor privileges at the facility have been put on hiatus. Notably, FCI Tucson is a moderate size prison, harboring around 380 inmates.

Just last year, Chauvin was handed a 21-year sentence for infringing federal civil liberties following his plea of guilt, adding to his existing 22-and-a-half-year sentence for murder and manslaughter from a state court's ruling. To expedite proceedings, he is serving his respective sentences concurrently at a federal prison.

This incident marks the second publicised attack on a federal inmate in a span of five months. Back in July, Larry Nassar, a discredited sports physician, also fell prey to an assault by a fellow inmate at a federal prison in Florida.
