Bad idea, bad timing! Figure out our children's education first! And lower college cost for citizens NOT IN PRISON!

This is why our country is disintergrating! Reward the felons and punish the hardworking Americans who are trying to make ends meet. SHAME ON YOU, the idioticy continues with this thought stream from politicans.

I do not believe that prisoners should receive a free college education. If there is extra money give it back to law abiding tax payers.

While I am in favor of rehabilitation and reduced recidivism of inmates, I cannot in good conscience support the Governor’s plan when so many individuals and families in New York are struggling to meet the ever-rising costs of higher education- feel free to provide them a GED if they don't have it and teach them vocational skills.

I wish my son's could have gone to college and received their Bachelor's Degrees for $5,000 each!!! I guess they need to go to prison first, to get the help they deserve for being good, upstanding citizens!!!!!
