Derek Chauvin the former Minneapolis officer who was charged with the murder of George Floyd has been transferred to a new jail cell in a maximum-security prison. He was sent to the Minnesota Correctional Facility-Oak Park Heights near the city of Stillwater. The mugshots have been questioned as he was seen dressed differently in his original mugshot, Apparently it’s protocol for inmates to get new mug shots when they are transferred.
He was originally held at the Ramsey County Jail after being arrested on Friday and charged with third-degree murder and manslaughter in Floyd’s death.
The Oak Park Heights prison is the highest custody level in Minnesota’s system, and several inmates like Chauvin need a higher level of security.
DOC Commissioner Paul Schnell says this kind of transfer is not uncommon as the same thing happened when former Minneapolis cop, Mohamed Noor, was taken into custody after the killing of Justine Damond and it was requested by the Hennepin County Sheriff.
Chauvin was one of 4 officers fired over Floyd’s death, but so far he’s the only one arrested and charged. Chauvin was the cop who pressed his knee on Floyd’s neck for close to 9 minutes … including more than 2 minutes after Floyd was unresponsive.
Still, there’s outrage that the other cops have still not being arrested. The entire incident along with other cases of black people being unjustly killed has incited several straight days of protests, riots, looting, violence and destruction across several major cities in the U.S.
