"Dead Man Walking" - the guards and inmates in American prisons call out when a death row inmate makes the last walk from his cell to the execution room. Like the Oscar-winning film of the same name with Susan Sarandon and Sean Penn from 1995, Jake Heggie's opera Dead Man Walking is based on the real experiences of the Catholic nun Helen Prejean, who provided spiritual support to several convicts up to their execution.
