How about giving them a trade. We need plumbers, electricians and other service workers. Like a BOCES program inside. Paid for by the prisoners with student loans like the rest of us.

Quit spending the hard earned tax payer money. The spending in this state is out of control. Quit with the freebee's. That includes the illegals!

Once again, New York State shows how to "Throw Away" our taxpayer dollars - What a "Totally Ridiculous" Proposition! in view of our economy and the timing.
