The former inmates we just heard from will have to wait until next April to be eligible for food stamps and other public benefits. Until then, what do you do when you get out of prison with no money, and nothing to eat? As part of our health series Vital Signs, we hear from Aus Jarrar. He was released after an 11-year sentence just weeks ago. Without food stamps, he's one charity meal away from hunger. We caught up with him as he rushed around downtown Oakland looking for food.
