Video Shows Philly Guard Beat Prisoner, but Prisoner is Chargednew

Prisoner John Steckley looks like he might have been mouthing off as he walked out of the visitors' room at Philadelphia's Curran-Fromhold Correctional Facility, but he appeared to be posing no physical threat to the guard standing at the door. Even so, the corrections officer coldcocked Steckley in the face and then, along with another guard, proceeded to beat him.
