NO college for inmates unless you want to pay for my son, too...who is NOT an inmate. I cannot afford to pay for him. Perhaps NYS will.

It is absolutely absurd that you would consider giving convicted criminals a free education when hundreds of thousands of in my generation are struggling to pay back student loans that most of us do not even get a job in the same field as our degrees because of the lack of good jobs in this state. I like so many others are sick of this and ready to leave this horribly run state
Why is it that I have never committed a crime and I can not afford college, yet people who are in prison get the education handed to them?

Get Private Programs like Aramark's In2Work program and private industry that complain there are not enough skilled trade workers. No degree and shorter learning time. *So our military men and woman must protect us for four years and a criminal can hurt us and get a free education for 5 minutes of sexually assaulting someone else?

inmates can pay for their own education or take out loans like the rest of us. I see this leading to an increase of crime because we're making prison a great place to be.

Do not sign any bill for prisoners to have their education paid for so called rehab. Myself and my children have to pay for our own loans!! This is a horrible idea. Who dreamt up this brilliant idea?

Inmates do not commit crimes because of a lack of education! How about rewarding more good productive citizens!

I am a struggling Mother of 2 who went back to college at 36 to get a teaching degree. I am 2 classes short of getting my Masters Degree that NY REQUIRES me to get yet I can get no more federals loans because Im down to part time status. No aid at all! Yet you will give a FREE education to inmates? How about reinstating the TAP for Grad students since NY requires us to get our Grad school degree!!!!

Inmates should have to pay for an education just like my children (2 who have $200,000. debt between them) and tons of other young adults that have the same debt. If you can take away their debt Gov. Cuomo then I wouldn't have a problem with your Idea(?)!!
