I will not vote for this. There are many law abiding citizens that need help with college tuition prior to that!

working people who need financial assistance should be able to get it to help pursue financing college attendance before those incarcerated!

Better to usenthe money to prevent individuals from commiting crimes by helping them get an education than wait until they are incarcerated to give them an education. Prevention is better than throwing away good money to reward bad behaviour.

I have been paying off $2.500 for 30 years. With interest, I have paid over $30,000. This was due to losing a job and being temporarily disabled twice and the last few years of working 25 hours or less a week. I do not even have a degree to show for it because my college advisor screwed be over. But an inmate will get a free ride? How obnoxious

Why do you have to give them access to college for free while my kids have years of student loans ahead of them? Make them pay their own tuition!

Many hard working, law abiding citizens,deserve the free college classes first. A higher form of educaton just might make them better criminals, not help them, Job training is essential to get back into the community, but college?? This is ludicrious. My child is in her thirties still paying off her Bachelor's degree, lost her husband in Afganistan fighting many years for his country. Is this fair? NO!!!!

Shame on the Governor for proposing such a misuse of funds! Work Hard, live right, and you get stepped on.
