Steven Nigg is a former federal inmate best known for his 2016 assault on notorious sex offender Larry Nassar’s fellow high-profile prisoner, former Subway spokesman Jared Fogle. While serving time for a firearms conviction at a low-security prison in Colorado, Nigg became enraged that Fogle was housed with other inmates in relative comfort despite his crimes against children. In January 2016, Nigg attacked Fogle in the prison yard, punching him repeatedly and leaving him with injuries to his face and neck. Prison officials quickly intervened, and Nigg was placed in disciplinary segregation after the assault.

The incident drew national attention because Nigg expressed open contempt for sex offenders and frustration at what he described as lenient treatment of such inmates. Although the attack did not lead to new criminal charges, it added to Nigg’s disciplinary record and affected his prison standing. He later served out his original sentence before being released. The case highlighted both inmate resentment toward sex offenders and the broader challenges prison officials face in managing high-profile prisoners.
