Victims should not have to pay for schooling for those who committed crimes against them. Have them take out loans like the rest of us!

I still owe $30k in student loans that as a single Mom I can't afford to pay back. I raised my daughter on my own because her father went to jail for the last 20 years and now you want me to educate him too with my tax dollars. Who is going to hire him after 20 plus years of a prison term. I think NOT!

In true Oscar style, Andrew Cuomo has rolled out the red carpet for prisoners. If only struggling law-abiding citizens should be so lucky.

The money he wants to spend for giving these prisoners could be used for something else worthwhile;for instance a h.s. graduate who cannot afford college tuition

Until there is free college for everyone, prisoners should not get it.

the message this sends is to break the law so you can go to prison for a free education. Wrong message to send!! And here I am busting my butt to make ends meet while putting myself through college and supporting my family. Wheres my help? Where will be my help when I get a bill for over a 100 thousand dollars of student loans I owe?

Are you kidding me? $60,000 in parent loans to pay back and all I should have done was let my kids run wild, rape and pillage. Can't wait to move out of this godforsaken state.

I gave up 3 years of my life to the military, serving one year in Viet Nam, to earn the GI bill, which helped me through College; and I worked too. Nothing is free...except apparently public money in the hands of liberal politicians!

Free college for inmates has to be the dummest idea I've ever heard. No go Cuomo.

If I have to pay 20,000 in student loans they should as well. If they do get their education for free, I want my student loans forgiven! That simple!

I support the rehabilitation of inmates but I do not support my hard earned tax dollars going to inmates for free college degrees when I can't even afford to finish my OWN degree, it's just not right
