in 2020 -- when he dug his knee into the back of the Black man's neck even though he was aware Floyd had lost consciousness and pulse. But in exchange for his plea, Chauvin, 45, made one request: that he be allowed to do his time in federal prison, even if it means he will serve a longer sentence.
"The Floyd family understands Derek Chauvin may serve more time in federal prison than he would in state prison because federal guidelines indicate a greater percentage of a sentence is required to be served than at the state level. It is important to the family that he serves as much of his sentence as possible," the Floyd family's attorneys, Ben Crump, Antonio Romanucci and Jeff Storms, said in a statement to ABC News.
"The general reason is federal prison just tends to be safer and nicer than state prison and local jails," former federal prosecutor Neama Rahmani told ABC News."There are many reasons for that. They're just managed better by the Bureau of Prisons, where state and local jails just are not." Upon receiving his state sentence, Chauvin was immediately placed in the Minnesota Correctional Facility at Oak Park Heights, a maximum-security prison. A spokesperson for the Minnesota Department of Corrections confirmed to ABC News that Chauvin is being held in the administrative segregation wing of the prison, isolated in a cell 23 hours a day.
