The prison has faced criticism for staffing shortages and security lapses. \u200bChauvin&#8217;s\u200b attorney had previously raised\u2062 concerns about\u200c his client&#8217;s safety due to the intense \u200bpublicity \u2063surrounding his case.<\/p>\n<p>Minneapolis Police \u2064Chief Brian O&#8217;Hara\u2064 emphasized that all prisoners deserve safe conditions,\u2064 regardless of their accusations.
