Sister Helen Prejean is known around the world for her tireless work against the death penalty.
In 1993, her book Dead Man Walking: An Eyewitness Account of the Death Penalty in the United States, ignited a national debate on capital punishment.
Dead Man Walking spawned an Academy Award winning movie, a play, and the most-performed opera of the 21st century.
The most recent adaptation of Sister Helen’s book is Dead Man Walking Graphic Edition, with illustrations by Catherine Anyango Grünewald and script by Rose Vines.
Sister Helen is now into the fourth decade of her book tour. A natural storyteller, she uses her own journey to inspire others to work for justice.
