Derek Chauvin, the Minneapolis cop charged with murdering George Floyd has been moved to one of the most secure prisons in the US, that accepts most hated and high-risk inmates.
Chauvin was transferred late Sunday to Oak Park Heights Prison, Minnesota’s only Level Five maximum security facility. The 407-inmate prison boasts of never having had an escape and is also regarded as one of the country’s safest, having only had one homicide in its history
The prison is located on the border with Wisconsin, between the cities of Bayport and Stillwater
Chauvin was due to appear in court on Monday but his appearance has been pushed back until June 8, due to the ongoing protests over George Floyd’s death.
Derek Chauvin was arrested last Friday and charged with third-degree murder and manslaughter in connection with Floyd’s death, which has prompted nationwide protests that have turned violent in several cites.
