This undated photo provided by the Iowa Department of Corrections shows inmate Lha Southideth-Whiten, who a prison judge found was responsible for the beating of fellow inmate Michael Whitworth, who died Oct. 30, 2016, at the Iowa State Penitentiary in Fort Madison. Records obtained by The Associated Press reveal details of the beating that was captured on video. It’s believed to be the first homicide at an Iowa prison since 2010 and one that prompted a union to accuse the state of covering up safety lapses. (Iowa Department of Corrections via AP)
