Sister Helen Prejean Lecture: Dead Man Walking - The Journey Continues
Thursday, November 5 6:30 pm in Shiley Theatre. Followed by a reception and book signing in Camino Patio

Sister Helen began her prison ministry in 1981 when she dedicated her life to the poor of New Orleans. While living in the St. Thomas housing project, she became pen pals with Patrick Sonnier, the convicted killer of two teenagers, sentenced to die in the electric chair of Louisiana’s Angola State Prison.

Her first book, Dead Man Walking was on the New York Times bestseller list for 31 weeks.  It was also on the international bestseller list and was developed into a major motion picture starring Susan Sarandon as Sister Helen and Sean Penn as a death row inmate. Sister Helen’s second book, The Death of Innocents: An Eyewitness Account of Wrongful Executions, was published in December 2004. In it, she tells the story of two men, Dobie Gillis Williams and Joseph O’Dell, whom she accompanied to their executions. She believes both of them were innocent. In The Death of Innocents she takes the reader through all the evidence, including evidence the juries never heard either due to the incompetence of the defense lawyers or the rigid formalities of court procedure. Sister Helen examines how flaws inextricably entwined in the death penalty system inevitably lead to innocent people being executed and render the system unworkable. Sister Helen’s books have been the subject of many media stories and she has made many broadcast appearances on 60 Minutes, NBC’s Today Show, ABC World News Tonight, NBC Special on the Death Penalty, PBS’ Frontline to name only a few. The Black Storytellers of San Diego, Inc. and the Center for Educational Excellence are pleased to sponsor Sister Helen’s lecture at the University of San Diego’s Shiley Theater.
