SAN FRANCISCO - An Israeli businessman who operates San Francisco's only kosher bakery has earned another moniker for his shop because of the formerly incarcerated people he now employs.
The nickname for Issac Yosef's Frena Bakery is the "Lifer Bakery."
Carlos Flores, who served 23 years in prison on a murder charge, revealed that Yosef hired him when he was released from prison, along with two dozen others like him over the years, in an interview first aired by the San Quentin-based podcast, Ear Hustle.
