Martinez had been a psychologist overseeing other mental health workers treating inmates at California State
Prison, Sacramento, said department spokeswoman Terry Thornton. The
prison 20 miles east of Sacramento was the scene this week of a fight among more than 150 inmates that sent 11 inmates to outside hospitals.
Thornton said Martinez was redirected to the department's headquarters in May, when the investigation began, and has had no contact with inmates since then.
