The Louisiana Department of Public Safety & Corrections confirmed to TMZ that rapper Mystikal, born Michael Tyler, now resides at Louisiana’s infamous Angola prison. Officials placed the Grammy nominee in protective custody, where he will occupy a cell by himself. Angola’s reputation precedes it. Nicknamed the “Alcatraz of the South,” the sprawling 18,000-acre penitentiary confines over 5,000 men and stands as the biggest maximum-security lockup in the country. Mystikal pleaded guilty in March 2026 to third-degree rape over a 2022 attack at his home in Ascension Parish, Louisiana and was sentenced to 20 years. His original arrest carried charges of first-degree rape and false imprisonment, and a conviction on the top count could have meant life behind bars.
