Derek Chauvin, the former Minneapolis police officer who was found guilty of killing George Floyd on Tuesday, is spending 23 hours per day in solitary confinement while he resides in prison.
Chauvin has been placed in the state’s only maximum-security facility in Oak Park Heights, an area within St. Paul, after the 45-year-old was found guilty of third-degree murder, second-degree murder, and manslaughter, a spokesperson for the Minnesota Department of Corrections told the Washington Examiner. The disgraced ex-officer was seen on video in late May 2020 kneeling on Floyd’s neck for over nine minutes during an arrest.
