Seven employees of the Texas Department of Corrections are facing firing following the March suicide of a 16-year-old at the department's psychiatric facility east of Richmond, according to a TDCJ spokesman. Joshua Keith Beasley, Jr., had been transferred into TDCJ custody in September after receiving charges stemming from incidents while he was held at a Texas Juvenile Justice Department facility. He was incarcerated within the Youthful Offender Program, which is specifically designed for individuals under age 18, according to spokesman Robert Hurst.
