Derek Chauvin, the former Minneapolis police officer convicted of killing George Floyd, was transferred to a federal prison in Texas almost nine months after he was stabbed in a different facility, the federal Bureau of Prisons told The Associated Press on Tuesday.

Chauvin, 47, is now housed at the Federal Correctional Institution in Big Spring, a low-security prison. He was previously held in Arizona at FCI Tucson in August 2022 to simultaneously serve a 21-year federal sentence for violating Floyd’s civil rights and a 22 1/2-year state sentence for second-degree murder.

The transfer comes nearly nine months after Chauvin was stabbed 22 times in prison by a former gang leader and one-time FBI informant.

    Ya, I am angry, but no, that’s not why. If he isn’t in almost 24-hour isolation, he’s gonna get stabbed or beat or raped or killed. The best place to provide for that is a supermax. And I don’t care if this makes me a bad person, but this asshole deserves to suffer for the rest of his life.
