Sister Helen Prejean, a renowned advocate against the death penalty, has dedicated her life to sparking national dialogue on capital punishment. Since moving into the St. Thomas Housing Project in New Orleans in 1982, she has corresponded with death row inmates, leading to her influential book, 'Dead Man Walking'. This work ignited a national debate and has shaped the Catholic Church’s opposition to executions.
Through Sister Helen's tireless advocacy, there has been a significant decline in the use of the death penalty across the United States. Her efforts have not only influenced public opinion but also led to a revised catechism from the Catholic Church opposing executions under any circumstances.
