SISTER HELEN PREJEAN-whose activism against the death
penalty became widely known after the Oscar-winning
film adaptation of her first book, Dead Man
Walking-has crafted a passionate indictment of the
American criminal justice system through her
experiences inside Louisiana's death row.

RACIAL AND CLASS BIAS. Prosecutorial misconduct.
Wrongful convictions. Hear about the flaws of the
death penalty from someone who has witnessed them
first hand, and find out what you can do to become
involved in the fight for abolition.

DEAD MAN WALKING: THE JOURNEY CONTINUES is the keynote
address of the Campaign to End the Death Penalty's
(CEDP) national convention.
