I'm disgusted at even the suggestion of this. If anyone should leave the great state of NY it should be Governor Cuomo!!!

Paying for Inmates college tuition is a slap in the face of anyone who has had to work and pay their way for a college degree. Just another reason to leave NYS.

My children have student loans that they are paying back and nothing was handed to them. The prisoners should have the same option of taking out student loans and once they are employed, pay them back. If our economy was better, I might agree to scholarship money given to prisoners who are interested in getting their degrees and for good behavior, but this is not feasible today.

I do not support free college classes to individuals who are in prison.

Are you kidding me?? As a single parent with 2 college graduates with student loans and minimal tuition assistance, they can all rot for all I care!! Worry about taking care of problems that need attention in our state instead of creating more!!

Inmates should not get free tuition when our young people have to pay for the education themselves. This is ridiculous! Teach the inmates right from wrong !

If this happens they should have to pay it back as a student loan with the same interest rates the rest of us have too!

This is outrageous!! Cuomo cuts aid to school districts but wants to give criminals a free pass! College tuition is not free for Veterans or any NY resident but crooks get it for free! I'm a family life long Democrat but he just lost my vote, period
