Death penalty foe to relocate
Death penalty activist Sister Helen Prejean is relocating her home and office from New Orleans--where both are under water--to Baton Rouge after fleeing before Katrina came ashore. On Thursday, she was in Orlando, Fla., addressing public defenders about her opposition to the death penalty.
"I am comparing the death penalty system to the levees in New Orleans," she said. "They told us they would work, but they didn't."
Abolish the Death Penalty is a blog dedicated to...well, you know. The purpose of Abolish is to tell the personal stories of crime victims and their loved ones, people on death row and their loved ones and those activists who are working toward abolition. You may, from time to time, see news articles or press releases here, but that is not the primary mission of Abolish the Death Penalty. Our mission is to put a human face on the debate over capital punishment.
