Jahaan Andrews, 34, Oneil Murray, 31, and Mumin Hart, 43, all from Philly were prison guards at the Curran Fromhold Correctional Facility. Georgia Malloy was their supervisor. According to authorities, On October 6 2020, they encountered a pre trial detainee who was wearing the wrong colored jumpsuit. Rather than simply have him change into a correct one , it is alleged that they put him in his cell.
Once there, they strip searched him and then Andrews, Murray, Hart, and Granville then punched, kicked, and assaulted the Inmate numerous times, knocking him to the ground. As a result of the assault, Inmate 1 was hospitalized with injuries to his face, ribs, and scrotum, and had to undergo emergency surgery.
Whenever force is used on an inmate a report must be generated. Federal authorities said that a report was done but the defendants exaggerated the aggressiveness of the inmate and disclosed as little of the true nature of the force the C.O.s used against him as they believed was necessary, to avoid scrutiny of their conduct by their superior officers and others. Malloy also wrote a report that authorities said left out important details and minimized the force used.
All four defendants are charged with conspiracy.
Andrews is also charged with two counts of deprivation of rights under color of law, two counts of falsification of records, and making a false statement to the FBI.
Murray is also charged with two counts of deprivation of rights under color of law and two counts of falsification of records.
Hart is also charged with two counts of deprivation of rights under color of law and falsification of records.
Malloy is also charged with two counts of falsification of records.
