Dead Man Walking: An Eyewitness Account of the Death Penalty in the United States Prejean HelenPaperback
In 1982, Sister Helen Prejean became the spiritual advisor to Patrick Sonnier, the convicted killer of two teenagers who was sentenced to die in the electric chair of Louisiana's Angola State Prison. She also came to know the families of the victims and the men whose job it was to execute--men who often harbored doubts about the rightness of what they were doing.Out of that dreadful intimacy comes a profoundly moving spiritual journey through our system of capital punishment. In the months before Sonnier's death, the Roman Catholic nun came to know a man who was as terrified as he had once been terrifying.
On its original publication in 1993, Dead Man Walking emerged as an unprecedented look at the human Here Sister Helen confronts both the plight of the condemned and the rage of the bereaved, the fears of a society shattered by violence and the Christian imperative of love.
