Credo: Lettie Carr

Published



Lettie Carr graduated from Smith College and the University of Michigan before rising quickly at a Washington law firm. But about 16 years ago, she left that life behind to follow one of Jesus’ most unheeded calls — to visit the prisoner. Today, the 50-year-old Carr is the chaplain at the Maryland Correctional Institute for Women. She spoke with The Washington Examiner about the God who called her to an unlikely career, and her daily task of loving as God loves. Do you consider yourself to be of a specific faith?
