This is another way for criminals to get rewarded for their crimes. Programs should be awarded before a life of crime. Let's put some money into those kind of programs that will help students get jobs right from high school. Utilize BOCES programs and add back in home ec.

It's just not fair. I sacrifice to pay my student loans and I make sure that I'm a law abiding citizen. This is outrageous!

While I support educating prisoners so that they have a chance when they get out, I cannot get behind this when the state of our educational system for law abiding citizens is in such shambles. Stop common core first, then worry about the prisioners.

This is so dumb. Why do criminals deserve a free education when law-abiding citizens like me have to pay thousands that we can't really afford??

This plan is not what is best for New York State citizens. Yes, as Mr. Cuomo stated, it is called the Department of Corrections; however inmates need to be taught the basics of living in a civilized society before the chance to earn an advanced education. Law abiding, honest, decent residents are being stretched every day. We need the break. When convicts finish paying their debt to society and released they can do what the rest of us do. They can find an entry level job, start from the ground up and work hard to obtain "things."

Why bother trying to raise your kids to be law abiding and productive? They should just do drugs not work, rob go to jail and get everything handed to them - even college now!!
