Fox News
Derek Chauvin, the former Minneapolis police officer convicted in the murder of George Floyd, is expected to be held at a maximum-security prison in Minnesota for the next eight weeks as he awaits sentencing.
Chauvin was booked into MCF-Oak Park Heights on Tuesday at 4:55 p.m., Fox News has learned. A new booking photo was released Wednesday. He is on "administrative segregation status" and is being housed in the prison's administrative control unit, which "has the state’s highest level of security, and is the appropriate placement for his safety," Minnesota Department of Corrections spokeswoman Sarah Fitzgerald told Fox News in an email. The last death of an incarcerated person by another incarcerated person at Oak Park Heights occurred in 2013, Fitzgerald said. The death did not occur in the administrative control unit. The last suicide at Oak Park Heights was also in 2013.More Related News
