Should any state have the power to execute? Is the death penalty appropriate retribution for particularly heinous murders? Does it deter crime? Or does it fundamentally violate human rights? Author and activist Sister Helen Prejean has been instrumental in sparking the national dialogue around these questions, largely due to her best selling book, Dead Man Walking, which portrays her experiences as a spiritual advisor to death row inmates. Sister Helen’s Dead Man Walking spawned the Oscar-winning movie of the same title, featuring Susan Sarandon as Sister Helen and Sean Penn as a death row inmate.
