So, to be fair it sucks that he got stabbed. He didn't deserve it. I can only hope that his experiences lead him to become a better person, but I don't really expect that. I expect that he's going to get better just to get stabbed again.

More from behind the paywall:

The Federal Bureau of Prisons confirmed that an inmate at the Tucson prison was stabbed at 12:30 p.m., though the agency’s statement did not identify Mr. Chauvin, 47, by name. No other inmates or prison staff were injured, and the situation was quickly contained, according to the people familiar with the situation.

Emergency medical technicians “initiated lifesaving measures” before transporting the inmate to a local hospital “for further treatment and evaluation,” bureau officials wrote. No details were immediately available on his condition, but one of the people with knowledge of the incident said that Mr. Chauvin survived the attack.

There have been several other high-profile attacks on federal prisoners in recent years, including the stabbing earlier this year of Larry Nassar, who had been convicted of sexually abusing young gymnasts, and the killing in 2018 of James (Whitey) Bulger, the mobster who was murdered in a West Virginia prison.

The Associated Press was the first to report the stabbing of Mr. Chauvin on Friday.

The Bureau of Prisons has been grappling with a widespread shortage of corrections officers and has relied on teachers, case managers, counselors, facilities workers and secretaries to fill shifts.

Fortunately for Mr Chauvin, none of the employees had his attitude even though he is a convicted sadistic killer instead of a suspected passer of a counterfeit $20 bill.
