Sister Helen Prejean, one of the nation's foremost advocates to abolish the death penalty, will make a rare Arizona apearance February 19 to 20, sponsored by the Coalition of Arizonans to Abolish the Death Penalty and the Arizona Death Penalty Forum.

Sister Helen is best known for her Pulitzer Prize-nominated book, "Dead Man Walking: An Eyewitness Account of the Death Penalty in the United States," which recounts her prison ministry that led to her introduction to capital punishment through her friendship with death-row inmate Patrick Sonnier. The book became a hit movie starring Susan Sarandon and Sean Penn. Sister Helen also is the author of "The Death of Innocents: An Eyewitness Account of Wrongful Executions."
