A Philadelphia correctional officer and his former supervisor were convicted at trial for the assault of a naked inmate and the ensuing coverup, authorities said. The victim was hospitalized and underwent emergency surgery after suffering injuries to his face, ribs, and scrotum. The officers falsified reports to obstruct the investigation.

Why it matters

This case highlights issues of abuse of power, lack of accountability, and the need for greater oversight and transparency in the corrections system. Incidents of inmate mistreatment and cover-ups undermine public trust and raise concerns about the treatment of vulnerable populations in custody.

The details

Jahaan Andrews, a correctional officer at the Curran-Fromhold Correctional Facility, and Georgia Malloy, a lieutenant with the Philadelphia Department of Prisons, were convicted for their roles in the assault of a naked inmate and the subsequent cover-up. Andrews, along with fellow officers Ronald Granville and Oneil Murray, forced the inmate to strip and then punched and kicked him, knocking him to the ground. The officers later falsified their reports to exaggerate the inmate's aggressiveness and conceal Granville's use of force.

  • In 2020, the incident occurred at the Curran-Fromhold Correctional Facility.
  • In September 2026, Andrews, Malloy, and Murray were charged by indictment.
  • Malloy, 58, will face up to 40 years in prison, while Andrews, 34, faces up to 35 years at sentencing.
