  • Resumen

  • Candido went to prison in 1990 for drug trafficking. Over 26 years in Federal Prisons, he cooked for 1500-2500 men. He never expected to see freedom as his sentence was 49 years. In 2016 he was granted clemency by President Obama. Helped by NJ REENTRY CORPS. He now has his own restaurant, which opened in December 2017 in Jersey City.
