In 1982 Sster Helen Prejean became the spirtual advisor to Patrick Sonnier the convicted killer of two teenagers who was sentenced to die in the electric chair of Louisana's Angola State Prison. I the nonths before Sonnier's death, the Nun came to know a man who was as terrified as he had once been terrifying.
The books makes some valid points about the Death Penalty in general, however it didn't change my opinion, I still support the Death Penalty.
