Former Chicago Cop Jason Van Dyke Jumped By Inmates Hours After Arriving At New Prison (Video)

Jason Van Dyke, the former Chicago cop who took the life of 17-year-old Laquan McDonald, was brutally beaten by inmates four hours after arriving at a new prison.

Van Dyke’s family and his attorney are outraged saying his safety was compromised after he was placed in general population at a federal prison in Danbury, Connecticut.

“He was led like a lamb to slaughter,” said one of his attorneys Tammy Wendt, who said she was notified of the attack by a confidential employee at the facility in Connecticut.

According to the attorney, Jason Van Dyke says he was attacked in his cell.

Jason’s wife is now speaking out about her hubby’s safety:
