This is a very good question. I don't believe the convicted offender should get anything but doing time for the crime he or she committed.
As far as the family--why would anyone want to see children suffer for something that their parents have committed. Don't deny them food because their parents were idiots.

once a convicted offender serves his time... he should be eligible like anyone else... coming out of jail or prison... a convict..would need assistance while job searching or getting back on his/her feet. if someone serves their time... are the to keep paying over and over again.... once his debt to society is paid... it is important that he/she has a suport system. other wise... with no help... a person would turn back to the criminal life... stealing... selling drugs. i would rather see someone get public assistance while going on job search. and i agree... why should children and families suffer

Their family should not be kept from assistance, but I think a convicted offender should have to do community service before he starts to recieve help again.

I think they should not be eligible for public assistance.
It would be a deterrent to commit a crime in the first place if the offender knew that the family would suffer financially for their criminal act.

Families yes-- they didn't commit the crime.
Convicted Offenders-- no, not while serving time. But once they get out and paid their debt, they should be able to get public assitance.

Their families yes, them.... in my opinion it depends on what they are convicted of, violent crimes and felony level drug charges should not be allowed public assistance.
