State leaders are moving to fire seven prison employees in Fort Bend County after the March suicide of a 16-year-old staying in a psychiatric facility. Five officers, a sergeant and a lieutenant face dismissal after an investigation determined they failed to follow department policy and conduct regular checks on inmates at the Wayne Scott Unit in Richmond, said Robert Hurst, a spokesperson for the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. The investigation began after a teenager was found dead from suicide at the facility on March 24, officials said.
