Last year, formerCity Paperstaff writer Dan Denvir obtained video of a guard at Philadelphia’s Curran-Fromhold Correctional Facility, named Tyrone Glover,beating an inmate named John Steckley.Though the video suggests Steckley may have been mouthing off to Glover, it was, without question, Glover who threw the first punch. But Steckley was ultimately the one charged with assault.
