ISBN 0-679-75131-9
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. Out of a dreadful intimacy comes a profound, moving spiritual journey through our system of capital punishment. Confronting both the plight of the condemned and the rage of the bereaved, the needs of a crime-ridden society and the Christian imperative of love, Dead Man Walking is an unprecedented look at the human consequences of the death penalty.
