The complaint alleges that while incarcerated at Federal Correctional Institution Tucson, John Turscak, 52, stabbed Chauvin about 22 times “with an improvised knife,” prosecutors said.
Turscak was charged with attempted murder, assault with intent to commit murder, assault with a dangerous weapon, and assault resulting in serious bodily injury, according to prosecutors.
The investigation in the case was conducted by the FBI.
Attempted murder and assault with intent to commit murder violations each carry maximum penalties of 20 years incarceration, while assault with a dangerous weapon and assault resulting in serious bodily injury each carry maximum penalties of 10 years.
Chauvin was expected to survive following the attack last week in a prison in Arizona, the Minnesota Attorney General’s office said earlier.

While I’m not gonna cry over this garbage person getting hurt, let’s not actively celebrate extrajudicial punishment. Prison is already a fucked up piece of our fucked up “justice” system.
Next you gonna tell me that someone who rapes him would deserve a medal? Because that would be the same energy.
And both are fucked up ways of thinking.
I’m going to go even further than you and say the director of the prison should face severe consequences (as in, years in jail) for failing to protect a convict.
Prisoners have most of their rights stripped away from them as a punishment. Defending themselves or avoiding situations where violence can happen is not possible for them, and the responsibility for that therefore falls on the people in charge of applying the punishment. Here, the management of the correctional facility.
Thank you for saying it.
Justice isn’t getting stabbed in prison 22 times. The same way Justice is kneeling on the neck of a non-violent offender until he is dead.
Exactly.
True justice would be to ensure he never re-offends, pays his dues to society and the family, and ideally comes out of prison a better person that actively benefits society as a rehabilitated offender.
But our current justice system doesn’t do that, either.
