As we saw in class, the film Dead Man Walking is based on the book of the same name by Sr Helen Prejean. The story is based on true events although it is a composite of two death row prisoners that Sr Helen was a spiritual advisor to.Sr Helen is now an active campaigner against the death penalty. You can find her website here. Its certainly worth reading.
Do you agree with Sr Helen that the death penalty should not be used?
