the thought of this angers me .... when its time for my grandchildren to go to college its going to be very costly and these criminals dont deserve to be educated for free... why so they can be smarter criminals when they get out ? If they commited a crime then they only deserve basics but no they have health care ,cable and food they are treated better than senior citizens in homes there is something wrong with this picture im sorry but hell no on my tax dollar should i pay for this... and if they get it then i want free college educatiion for my grandchildren!!!

Never! Enough is enough! My kids paid dearly, why should I pay for a prisoner? They need to pay their own too!

For years and years the Governor has been cutting back on aid to public schools. Aid should be restored to public education to ensure a brighter future for the next generation, not be WASTED on inmates who would rather break the law than put any effort into trying to become productive citizens. If they had applied themselves in public school, opportunities for a college education would have presented themselves. This is just throwing good money after bad on the dregs of society.

Governor Cuomo, WHY would you be in favor of something like this? What good is a college degree to a convicted felon who can't even get a job due to being a felon? What's the purpose of having criminals in jails then? Why can't there be free college for all residents of NY state then? How about single mothers? I'm a single mother on disability who would LOVE to be able to get a free degree. Maybe I should commit some crimes so I can better myself for my future, because as it stands now, I don't get anything! I had a student loan discharged due to a debilitating back injury and was told that I will never be able to get a "student loan" ever again. If I could afford to go back to college, I would but I can't even afford to buy groceries these days! I'm dreaming if I ever think I'll be able to come up with money for tuition. I also have 3 kids that I have to someone put through school. Maybe we should all go to jail as a family unit if NY state is giving away free college for criminals! This is ridiculous!

Free college courses are available online through MIT. Let those be available and not our paying for more. Our children do not receive free college education.

Our children have to repay their college loans, this is a slap in the face for them and us. This is just so ludicrous. Giving inmates free college money, it is like we are rewarding them for breaking the law. No, way is this fair or just.

My family and I are law-abiding citizens who are on the verge of bankruptcy and homelessness due to medical expenses and job/business loss. We have received no assistance of ANY kind from any government agency and are facing the risk of losing our home to property tax foreclosure. It's time for New York and this Governor to put state funds into saving desperate people who have been good citizens of this state.
