Prison turns Nixon’s life around
Nathaniel “The Rock” Nixon, a former inmate at both Vermilion Parish Correctional Center (VPCC) and Louisiana State Penitentiary at Angola, recently returned to VPCC to share his personal testimony with trusty inmates, offering his candid reflection on crime, incarceration, accountability, and personal transformation.
During his visit, Nixon recounted his last arrest in the early 2000s by current Warden Sammy LaPorte and the 45-year sentence imposed by then-prosecutor Richard J. Putnam, III, who now presides as Abbeville City Court Judge.
