Kasper, Jeanie Maria

Tenure Summary

Jeanie Maria Kasper's documented GDC career begins in 2015 in correction administration, moving to deputy warden posts from 2016 through 2020 — years for which the records list the title and dates but no facility. She entered facility-leadership ranks in 2021 as Warden 1, and records place her as Warden at Walker State Prison across 2021–2022, with further Warden 1 entries for 2022 through 2024 and again at Walker State Prison in 2025. A Warden entry for Walker State Prison dated July 5, 2026, carries no end date.

One death is attributed to her facility-leadership tenure, all of it at Walker State Prison: Douglas Daniel Riley, 51, whose death is dated January 27, 2022 — a date when Kasper held the Warden role there, according to her position records. No lawsuits naming her as a defendant appear in the records, and no news reports matched to her name. Her status is listed as active.

What happened on their watch

Deputy Warden, 2016–2020. The records list Kasper as holding deputy warden posts from January 1, 2016, through December 31, 2020. No facility is named for these postings.

Warden, Walker State Prison, 2021–2022. During her tenure as Warden at Walker State Prison, one death is attributed to the facility: Douglas Daniel Riley died January 27, 2022, at Walker State Prison; the GPS death registry lists the cause as Unknown/Pending and records his age as 51. Kasper is shown in the Warden role at that facility on that date. The cause category recorded for this death is unresolved — GPS does not yet know the cause — and no narrative accompanies the record.

Warden 1, 2022–2024. The records show Kasper in Warden 1 entries covering calendar years 2022, 2023 and 2024, with no facility named and no deaths attributed to those entries.

Warden 1, Walker State Prison, 2025. Two incident entries dated May 17, 2025 are logged to her facility tenure while she held the WARDEN 1 role there. Their titles describe allegations concerning Jason Palmer: that he was held in segregation, denied adequate food and phone access for months, and reported severe hunger and rampant violence amid inadequate staff oversight — and, in a second entry, inhumane conditions including "segregation, food denial, communication blockade, weapon contraband, staff absence." The entries' titles name Telfair State Prison; the facility field on the records is Walker State Prison. These are allegations recorded as incident entries, not adjudicated findings.

Warden, Walker State Prison, from July 5, 2026. A Warden entry for Walker State Prison beginning July 5, 2026 carries no end date. No deaths are attributed to this period in the records.
