I wonder what Chauvin's life will be like in prison. Things could go wrong between now and then.

[Oldem]

Appeals could go on for a long time. The conviction might be overturned. But if he's put in with the general population in prison, he might wish somebody would just go ahead and put a knee on his neck.

[Treefrog]

1. And again.

Oh boy.

[MarineCombatEngineer]

2. Unless he requests it,

there is no way he will be put in genpop, he'll go into protective custody/segregation for his own safety.

3. Why do people keep posting these disgusting speculations?

What in hell is going on here tonight?

[walkingman]

4. People are celebrating that a white police officer was finally convicted for the murder of a black

man. The primary goal has always been accountability. That doesn't end when he enters prison. I hope he is a miserable human being for the rest of his life. His kind of hatred needs to be removed from our society.

[greenjar_01]

6. People are promoting torture, rape, and extrajudicial punishment

And it's fucking gross and has little to do with accountability in a democratic register.

[enough]

8. Yes

[crickets]

13. Agreed. nt

[Comatose Sphagetti]

17. This. nt

[hlthe2b]

7. Yes. I want him to face his sentence behind bars for many many MANY years.

Why would anyone want to make a martyr of him? Justice is carrying out his sentence--not turning him over to jail vigilantes or mobs. His security is something I think prison authorities will work to ensure, though the isolation will be worse for him.

[Oldem]

9. Sorry to disgust you. If speculation isn't allowed, here, I guess we're limited to hard news.

[Colgate 64]

5. He'll spend his term in protective custody or in

the Special Needs section. There's no way he can ever go into General Population - he'd be a target for way too many inmates. It's definitely going to be hard time for him.

[MineralMan]

10. Unpleasant.

[vsrazdem]

11. I think it is good they revoked bail, otherwise he might have offed himself.

He has nothing left. His wife left him, barely anyone showed up at his trial for him. i think if he was released he would have never gone to prison.

[Oldem]

12. Yet.... I read a headline somewhere that if he was acquitted, he'd likely be a rich man. There's a

lot that's sick about this sorry mess, but if that's true--or even possible--that's pretty sick, too.

[Brother Buzz]

14. He will be parked in county jail until sentencing.

Hennepin County Jail in downtown Minneapolis, Baby!

It's short on creature comforts, but it's secure.

[sarisataka]

15. I wonder how many more

Threads about "what terrible things could happen in prison" [ ] we will see.

[WarGamer]

16. More gen-pop prison violence fantasy...

[Dan]

18. I think that he's going to ....

Before he even goes to prison.

[hlthe2b]

19. He was remanded to jail already. After sentencing he will be transferred to a prison.

But, he is undoubtedly on suicide watch for a while, if that was your thought.

[Dan]

20. Yep, jail is not prison.

Right now, he is going over all his options, thinking about what’s coming.

[WarGamer]

21. Probably 10 years of reading books... writing letters and in 10 years buys a cheap place in Idaho

The locals will treat him like a hero. Mark Fuhrman might even let him stay in the guest house.
