Sister Helen Prejean

Sister Helen Prejean is one of the best-known voices speaking against the death penalty in the United States and worldwide. She travels extensively, giving, on average, 140 lectures a year, seeking to ignite public discourse on the issue. Her books, Dead Man Walking and The Death of Innocents, have reached people around the world and have helped engage millions of people in dialogue about state executions.

During those times she is not on the road, Sister Helen's work is based at the Death Penalty Discourse Network in New Orleans.
