District Attorney Collin Sims reports that on April 22, 2026, Carrington Jackson, 34, of Angie, Louisiana, was sentenced to 20 years with the Department of Corrections after pleading guilty to Aggravated Second Degree Battery. Jackson was adjudicated as a fourth-time felony offender. Assistant District Attorney Iain Dover prosecuted the case.
The charges stem from an incident on April 23, 2025, at the Rayburn Correctional Center (RCC). During a routine security round in one of the housing units, a cadet observed Jackson approach the bunk of a fellow inmate who was asleep. Jackson then threw a scalding liquid from a bowl onto the victim’s face.
A subsequent investigation by RCC leadership and internal investigators included a review of surveillance footage. The video captured Jackson filling a bowl from a hot water dispenser and heating it in a microwave for approximately three minutes immediately before the assault. The victim suffered third-degree burns and required transportation to an outside medical facility for specialized treatment.
The state relayed a message on behalf of the victim during the proceedings before the Honorable Judge Alan A. Zaunbrecher. Despite the severity of the injuries sustained, the victim requested that the defendant know that he was "praying for him."
"This violent and premeditated attack on a defenseless individual is unacceptable," District Attorney Collin Sims said. "We remain committed to ensuring that all individuals, including those within our correctional facilities, are held accountable for acts of aggravated violence."
The District Attorney’s Office would like to extend its gratitude to the staff at Rayburn Correctional Center for their swift response and cooperation, specifically Warden Keith Bickham and Major Jacob Wascom with the RCC Investigations Division.
