In this edition of the Campbell Conversations, host Grant Reeher talks with Sister Helen Prejean, the author of Dead Man Walking, which inspired the movie of the same name. Sister Helen relates her advocacy efforts to end the death penalty in the twenty years since the book's publication, and how working with death row inmates has informed her own spiritual journey as it relates to justice.
