Reseña del editor:
In January 1982 a member of the Prison Coalition in America asked Sister Helen Prejean whether she would agree to correspond with a convicted murderer awaiting execution in the Louisiana State Penitentiary. When she said yes she found herself in the midst of one of the greatest moral controversies in America today: the question of the death penalty. In this account of her relationships with two death-row inmates, we see at first hand Sister Helen's horror at the brutality of their crimes and her discovery that they are nonetheless human beings themselves and that killing them is itself a violation of moral principle. She meets with the victims' families and knows the rage and frustration that has led many of them to insists on the death penalty. She confronts us with the terror of those waiting on death row, with the grief and anger of families tortured by their unbearable memories, and by the unease of wardens, executioners, and politicians.

Descripción Softcover / Paperback. Condición: Very Good. No Jacket. First edition. Softcover. An experience of Death Row. When the author was invited to write to a prisoner on Death Row who brutally killed 2 teenagers, she had little idea how much it would change her life. Although she abhored his crime, she befriended Patrick Sonnier and witnessed his execution 2yrs. later in the electric chair. Almost immediately she was asked to be spiritual adviser to notorious killer Robert Lee Willie, who remained unrependant until his execution. This time she met the parents of the woman he killed, and found them to be bitterly committed to seeing him executed. They resented the interference of Sister Helen and other 'sob sisters.' This is the author's extraordinary account of her relationship with the 2 prisoners and initiation into the macabre rituals of Death Row. As powerful an indictment of the death penalty as has ever been written, the book also lays bare the barbarity of execution in the United States. With Notes and Index. 278pp. trade size softcover. From the library of true crime writer, Wilfred Gregg, with his personal b/plate. Vg+. Nº de ref. del artículo: 13013
