There would be less inmates in prison to begin with if people could afford an education!

Please stop spending our hard earned money on such nonsense. They are there to be punished not rewarded. Use the money for law abiding citizens.

As a working college student, this is infuriating! We get punished for following rules and doing things the right way with thousands in loans.

The amount of loans I am amassing to complete my college education while working over 50 hours a week with two jobs is difficult enough. To then see this abhorring proposal and ask for my tax dollars to contribute when $5000 per inmate is even higher then I am allowed to deduct from my federal taxes for what I have paid into my tuition is insulting. Maybe I have to be incarcerated to see my tax dollars at work.

When Cuomo pays off my own children's student loans, we can discuss.

We are sending the wrong message to our children, when we can't afford to pay for college yet if you commit crimes you are afforded a free education.

College grads who aren't convicts can't find jobs! Train them for the job market-carpenters, plumbers, welders, electricians, etc. I paid for my kids education, I don't want to pay for criminals. I don't think it would help them.

Governor Cuomo if you want this, YOU pay for it. Stay out of the tax payers wallets to fund your idiotic ideas.

If he wants to provide free education the debt should be forgiven for those people who are working while going to school & received their degrees

This is ridiculous!! You are in jail for a reason. You should get nothing but 4 walls, a pot to pee in, & 3 meals a day!! Yet hundreds of this generation can not afford to pay for or go to college!! Unacceptable!!

my kids have to pay for their college educations and earn their scholarships, we don't get a free education. let prisoners who want a degree & work for their education go thru the student loan process & pay their high interest loans for 10-20 yrs just like every other college student!
