A San Luis Obispo man is spreading the word on how people with a criminal record can 'clean the slate' for a second chance at their future. Less than a decade ago, Jason Hunter was facing a 12-year sentence in the San Luis Obispo County Jail. Now, his record is clear - and he's the Head Chef of The Bridge Cafe in downtown San Luis Obispo. Hunter worked with the San Luis Obispo County District Attorney's Office and Restorative Partners to enter into a treatment program - helping him reduce his sentence and later, expunge his record.
