Her best-selling book \u003ci\u003eDead Man Walking, \u003c\/i\u003e and the hit Hollywood film adaptation in which she was played by Susan Sarandon, was a catalyst for drawing national attention to the issue. In the years since then, her continuing and often controversial work with death-row inmates has kept the issue near the forefront of national debate. She has confronted lawyers and judges, politicians and the media, to expose the indignity and injustice of the death penalty and inhumane prison conditions\u003ci\u003e.\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cbr\u003e In \u003ci\u003eHelen Prejean: Death Row's Nun\u003c\/i\u003e, Joyce Duriga explores Sister Helen's life growing up in upper-middle-class Louisiana, her growing awareness of the injustice of the death penalty, and its disproportionate targeting of the poor and minorities, and her introduction to death-row inmates Patrick Sonnier and Robert Lee Willie.
