Helen Prejean is a member of the Sisters of St. Joseph of Medaille in Louisiana. Now, she is involved with death row inmates at the Louisiana State Prison in Angola. The thesis of her article is “I see the death penalty as connected to the three deepest wounds of our society: racism, poverty, and violence.”

She said she does not believe that God provides human members with the power to torture and kill. About racism, she tells a story of serving black people in the St. Thomas area. Then, she says that their death would be on the back page of the newspaper. She mentions that she realized that some lives matter
