Charles D. Hudson Transitional Center — Deputy Warden (2021); Correctional Superintendent (2025–present)

Fleming served as Deputy Warden at Charles D. Hudson Transitional Center in 2021 before returning to the facility as its Correctional Superintendent, a position GPS records document him holding in 2025. During his current superintendent tenure there, GPS records show one death: Mickey Skyles, 62, on June 24, 2025. The cause category is recorded in GPS records as category 6; no additional notes, autopsy findings, or investigative details are present in the available records. No intel reports, intel events, or news mentions tied to Hudson Transitional Center during Fleming's tenures are present in GPS records. The facility assignments for his assistant superintendent years (2017–2020) and his superintendent years (2022–2024) are not identified in GPS records, so no deaths or incidents from those postings can be attributed to a specific facility.
