Pay for a prisoners college is BS i cant even afford to send my own kids to school and there is no one paying for them. Should i tell them to go rob a store so they can get a free education. Absolutle bs and I liked Cuomo. I have a whole different opinion of him as our govener now.

Whoever is for the CORE is out the door! Not going to listen to Cuomo's lies about him being with the parents and teachers on this one. The only way to get rid of it, is to send the money back to the Federal Department of Education & tell Soros and Gates we don't need their money! #StopCommonCore http://stopccssinnys.com/

This is outrageous. I'm drowning in student loans because this state can't get anything together and provide teaching jobs, yet criminals can do it for free. I am outraged. How about loan forgiveness for people working multiple jobs out of their degree just to make ends meet until they get that full time job when the government gets it together. I am disgusted.

Thirteen years later, I am still paying off my own student loans and my older son will be starting college next year. Where is my relief?

I can't afford my son's college tuition and he is a law abiding asset to society. Why should he have to accumulate 20 years of crushing debt while criminals get a free college education?

So many people want a better brighter future by getting an education and the opportunity to get the job and career of their dreams but can't afford to go...why should prisoners who messed up their lives be given that opportunity!

Give prisoners a free college education AFTER all of the citizens.

Can I get my student loans wiped clean? Should i go to prison so I can go back to school on the tax payer's dollar? Do we want smarter criminals? I want to be able to protect myself against these smarter criminals so is the safe act a good idea?

My taxes, nor the government should pay for a criminal to be educated. My children went to college and one is back in now for Nursing, no one is paying his way and he is a upstanding citizen!

I am very much opposed to the idea of college tuition paid for prisoners. The reasons are several and obvious and I'm sure you know what they are; not fair one bit to a working family having to pay tuition for the children or children having to pay. I'm all for vocational training in the trades but not a college degree with tax payer dollars. Please do what you can to put a stop to this ridiculous idea.
