The topic of her talk is “Dead Men Walking: The Journey Continues.”

Since 1984, Sister Helen has divided her time between educating citizens about the death penalty and counseling individual death row prisoners. In 2004 she authored The Death of Innocents, analyzing the cases of two men executed for crimes she believed they did not commit.

The event is free and open to the public.
