Excerpt:
“I’m not a criminal anymore,” Fardella said. He said he was 21 when he went to prison for a drug sale conviction; he’s now 27, has stayed out of legal trouble and recently graduated from a one-year drug rehabilitation program. “It doesn’t matter if I stay out of trouble for 10 years and I need help, it’s not going to matter—it’s for life,” he said of the food stamps ban. “Even people who are murderers or rapists, child molesters—they’re eligible for food stamps. And it’s heartbreaking when you think about it. People need to eat. Even when you’re in jail or prison, you get ‘three hots and a cot’” — the guaranteed three meals a day an inmate receives.

Dear Senator,
I urge you to vote to remove AB 828 from the suspense file and send it to the Senate floor for a final vote in your house.
AB 828 would permit otherwise eligible convicted drug felons to receive food stamps.
