Recent assaults on two notorious, high-profile federal prisoners have renewed concerns about whether the federal Bureau of Prisons is capable of keeping people in its custody safe.

The Bureau of Prisons confirms Derek Chauvin is behind bars at the Federal Transfer Center in Oklahoma.
While officials wouldn’t say why he was moved, his mother posted on social media that this is a temporary move.
He was previously serving his time at the federal prison in Arizona where another inmate stabbed him 22 times late last year.
