Fleming, Charles M

Tenure Summary

Charles M. Fleming's career in the Georgia Department of Corrections spans a decade of steadily rising authority. Position records show him entering as correction operations staff in 2015 at a salary of $39,831.84, advancing to correctional lieutenant in 2016, then serving four years (2017–2020) as a Correctional Assistant Superintendent. In 2021 he was Deputy Warden at the Charles D. Hudson Transitional Center. From 2022 onward he is listed as a Correctional Superintendent; facility-linked records place him in that role at the Charles D. Hudson Transitional Center on Nov. 22, 2023, throughout the 2025 calendar year, and again on Aug. 27, 2026. His 2025 superintendent salary was $80,503.20, roughly double his starting figure.

Across all of his leadership tenures, one death is attributed to a facility under his command: Mickey Skyles, 62, who died at the Charles D. Hudson Transitional Center on June 24, 2025, while Fleming held the Correctional Superintendent role there. Court records compiled in this profile list no lawsuits naming Fleming as a defendant, and no news reports name him directly.

What happened on their watch

Charles D. Hudson Transitional Center — Deputy Warden (2021). Fleming served as the facility's deputy warden during the 2021 calendar year, per position records. No deaths are attributed to this posting, and the incident records indexed to his facility tenures contain no items dated inside this window.

Charles D. Hudson Transitional Center — Correctional Superintendent (records dated 2023-11-22; 2025 calendar year; 2026-08-27). This is the posting the profile's single attributed death falls under. On June 24, 2025, resident Mickey Skyles, 62, died at the facility while Fleming held the superintendent role. The record carries no public narrative describing the circumstances, and this profile does not supply a cause.

Earlier that year, on April 6, 2025 — again with Fleming recorded as Correctional Superintendent — facility incident records log a series of alleged assaults by a CERT Team at Hudson. The records state that CERT officers assaulted residents and that resident Michael Schullerman was beaten without justification, sustaining a split lip that required 12 stitches, and was then coerced into signing a false statement about his injury. One record names Lt. Lonesca Carlton in connection with the assault. These entries are allegations of misconduct recorded against the facility's incident file; they do not establish findings against Fleming personally, and no disciplinary or legal disposition for them appears in this profile.

The superintendent positions Fleming held in 2022, 2023 and 2024 carry no facility assignment in the position records, and no incidents or deaths are attributed to those years in the data provided.
