Another supervisor, Cpt. Victor Martin, is being terminated by the Department of Juvenile Justice after being on suspension for more than 10 weeks.
News 12 has launched a full-scale investigation into the Augusta Youth Development Campus since November, when a 19-year-old inmate was fatally assaulted.

Martin was first placed on suspension the same week 19-year-old inmate Jade Holder was fatally assaulted in November.
The reason given for Martin's termination was that his county-issued cellphone number showed up on an inmate's contraband cellphone.
Martin denies the allegations and says he'll work to clear his name.
This comes after two other employees were fired Friday, including another director. Two others were suspended.
This is the eighth termination, including the campus director, since News 12's investigation into the YDC began in November.
