What happened on their watch

Correction Administration (2015) and Deputy Warden (2016–2020). Kasper held a Correction Administration position in 2015 and Deputy Warden posts from 2016 through 2020. These records list no facility for those positions.

Walker State Prison — Warden, January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2022. The single death attributed to Kasper's leadership tenure falls in this posting:

• Douglas Daniel Riley died January 27, 2022, at Walker State Prison; the registry lists the cause as Natural/Medical. He was 51, and Kasper held the Warden role at the facility at the time.

Walker State Prison — Warden, January 1, 2025 to December 31, 2025. Two incident entries dated May 17, 2025 are logged during this Warden tenure, both naming Jason Palmer. Their titles describe Palmer being held in segregation and denied adequate food and phone access for months, reporting severe hunger and rampant violence with what the entries characterize as inadequate staff oversight; the second describes inhumane conditions — segregation, food denial, a communication blockade, weapon contraband, and staff absence. The entries' titles reference Telfair State Prison, while the facility record they are attached to carries Walker State Prison; the entries carry no source link and no description. These are allegations as recorded, not findings.

Walker State Prison — Warden, entries beginning July 5, 2026 and July 16, 2026. Kasper is recorded as Warden at Walker State Prison in appointment entries beginning on those dates, the second with no end date. No deaths or incident entries in these records fall within them.
