Death Row Chaplains-Prejean.JPG

Sr. Helen Prejean, a Sister of St. Joseph of Medaille, is seen in this 2016 file photo. A longtime opponent of the death penalty, Sister Prejean is part of a amicus brief filed with the U.S. Supreme Court in the case of a death-row inmate who wants his spiritual adviser to pray with him and lay hands on him during his execution.
