February 12, 2012:               Sister Helen Prejean, Catholic nun, anti-death penalty activist, author
Sister Helen Prejean has been instrumental in sparking national dialogue on the death penalty. She travels around the world giving talks about her ministry. Since 1984, Sister Helen has divided her time between educating citizens about the death penalty and counseling individual death row prisoners. She has accompanied six men to their deaths. In doing so, she began to suspect that some of those executed were not guilty. This realization inspired her second book, The Death of Innocents: An Eyewitness Account of Wrongful Executions.
