Sister Helen Prejean is known internationally as the leading voice against the death penalty. Dead Man Walking, which was her first book, not only led to an Academy Award-winning film, but also to a play with a script by Tim Robbins, and to one of the most-performed modern operas (performed in 62 cities on four continents), with libretto by Terrance McNally and music by Jake Heggie. Sister Helen’s second book, The Death of Innocents: An Eyewitness Account of Wrongful Executions, was published by Random House in 2004, and River of Fire: On Becoming an Activist was published in 2019. She is currently working on a book about an innocent man, Manuel Ortiz, whom she has been visiting on Louisiana's death row for 30 years.
