I have one son with 60,000 in student loans and the other seeing that is working two jobs living in poverty to go to school!!!!! I've got an idea !!!! Let's invest in our upright law abiding young people instead of pounding them into the ground for 20 years as a penalty for doing the right thing and living a moral life!!!

I can't believe I have to sign a petition on something so rediculous. As I scrap and save to send my law abiding daughter to college, inmates are going to get a free ride and probably not do a thing with it when they get out.

Countless people are going into debt with student loans and all these creeps have to do is comit a crime and get the same opportunities for free. Worse yet, the student paying in his/her loans are also paying for the tuitions of the criminals too. Disgusting. I cannot believe we have elected these people to represent and guide our state. We should all be ashamed to have let this happen. If you want to avoid recidivism these criminals should be putting in hard labor to work off the cost the state has to absorber to punish them rather than getting a cushy life with 3 squares, cable and free education. How can anyone think this is okay?...

I'm so appalled, everyone is given choices in life, some people decide to stay in school instead of drop out, and they decide to continue pursuing an education to better their life even if it means struggling to make ends meet in order to pay for school. Allowing prisoners free college is absolutely unnerving, I understand the concept and the idea behind it. What's to stop people from having the mindset, why make an honest living and pay for school when they can profit from illegal activities and the worst that can happen to them is go to prison, so they can receive a free education, and then they are still all set? I'm sorry but screw that. This is absurd. I'm going to make sure I increase my participation in voting, and campaigning to hopefully keep people like Governor Cuomo out of office. You want to provide criminals a free education but are opposed to the recreational use of marijuana? Very logical. Let me add, it is not in my best interest, a TAX PAYER, for prisoners to be provided with a free education.

Ludicrous! We can't fund schools but he wants to fund criminals education. No justice there! No incentive to not committ a crime. An educated con is no more likely to get a job needing an education to do. Fund the currently unfounded mandates and improve public education for the next generation not the criminal element.

This is just so unfair to tax payers of this state. Many honest, hard working, law-abiding citizens can't afford to go to college and have no assistance available to them. These people come first before inmates.

All students pay for college. Why would law breakers get an advantage over law abiding students. We all pay for criminals to be incarcerated would they need free education? That is not right. Think about it.

Lets help our law abiding teenagers get into college with out having to worry about it taking the rest of thier lives to pay for it. Then maybe they wont go to prison.
