His first son Matthew Lee was born April 30, 2004. In the summer of 2005 Casey transferred to Kern Valley State Prison so that we could be closer to family. His second son Andrew James was born September 25, 2006, completing his family. In 2007 he selflessly saved the life of an inmate by performing CPR and was awarded the bronze star for his heroic efforts.
