Why should anyone work hard to get into college when they can get a free ride by commiting a crime? Going to jail keeps getting more appealing! Cuomo your a genius!

if we as hard working citizens are unable to afford college education then why would i support inmates who have had opportunity but chose not to upkeep the law. What a crazy proposal!!! maybe he should concentrate on not having N"Y as a right to work state having workers from other states work our local jobs making his residents in ny to sit on the unemployment list for months on end ! he is totally insane!!!!!!! would not vote for him at all!!

So you're instead of being thousands and thousands of dollars in debt and working hard I can just get arrested and have my college paid for by hard working taxpayers? Ridiculous. This is the stupidest thing I've ever heard. Ever.

Please get this petition rolling - it is just stupid to offer prisoners college when so many young students are paying for their education.

I am tens of thousands of dollars in debt from college tuition. Why should someone who has committed a major crime receive a free college education?

I am a single mother who while raising two sons on my own worked full-time and went back to school to earn a Bachelor's Degree. I paid my own way and am still paying off student loans relating to that experience. New York State did nothing to support my efforts to improve myself and increase my earning potential. LIkewise, both of my sons paid their way through college. They worked hard and got very little financial assistance from NYS. They, too, are paying off their student loans. If you want to invest money in education, invest it in law-abiding citizens and make college educations more affordable for the people who have earned them.
