“DEAD MAN WALKING - THE JOURNEY CONTINUES”
SISTER HELEN PREJEAN
AUTHOR OF DEAD MAN WALKING AND THE DEATH OF INNOCENTS
Sister Helen Prejean, the human rights activist whose campaign against the death penalty inspired the Hollywood movie Dead Man Walking, gave The Tablet Lecture on Monday 28 November. Her first book, Dead Man Walking, was a New York Times bestseller and was nominated for the Pulitzer Prize. In it she recounted her spiritual journey accompanying those convicted of crimes who are sentenced to death, and in her latest book The Death of Innocents she takes us to the moral edge of the debate on capital punishment and asks: what if we’re killing the wrong person?
Sister Helen, a Catholic nun, tackled these issues in her Tablet Lecture “Dead Man Walking – The Journey Continues”.
