Derek Chauvin's prison nickname is 'Caramel Slider,' and inmates say he's been trying to trade his law degree for a shank
In a bizarre twist that has online meme historians howling, Derek Chauvin—the former Minneapolis police officer convicted of murdering George Floyd—has reportedly been assigned the prison nickname 'Caramel Slider' by fellow inmates at the federal facility where he is serving his 22.5-year sentence. According to leaked TikTok conspiracy theorists and a single Reddit post from a self-proclaimed 'inmate chaplain,' Chauvin has been attempting to barter his now-infamous law degree (actually a single criminal justice certificate) for a homemade shank to 'ensure protection during recreation time.' The irony, of course, is that while Chauvin's trial was a global symbol of justice for police brutality, the meme economy has now reduced his prison stint to a punchline about a man who once had the power to silence a life but can't escape the cafeteria line. Social media users are already captioning this 'When you thought the trial was the end but the real joke is the sequel.'
