Meet the 82-year-old radical Catholic nun who’s the most prominent campaigner against the death penalty in the US. Sister Helen Prejean wrote ‘Dead Man Walking’, which became the movie (Susan Sarandon played Helen). In this episode you’ll hear about the horrifying close calls, when prisoners have been spared moments before their execution and other statistics that have us confront our humanity. But first, why did Sister Helen become a nun and… how do you handle a life without sex!?
