I don't think it's fair at all.

Quite Frankly -- I am always ASTOUNDED That the Prisoners who have WILLINGLY Committed Crimes have MORE Rights and Benefits than those of us who have VOLUNTEERED to do what these criminals would NEVER do ... which is to "Serve" their country HONORABLY in the US Armed Forces!

I understand where you are coming from. I posted something about why US is against "cruel and unusual punishment" when they often did cruel and unusual things to their victims. And if we do what THEY did then it's not so unusual now is it? Since they already did it! Anyhow, many of these convicts have had little to no education. It's the last hope for them. They need it greatly. Also, it won't matter what type of education they receive. Because it is VERY, VERY hard for a ex-convict to get a job in the real world that is better paying. Even fast food places, supermarkets, etc. do not wish to hire ex-convicts. The idea of an education for them is just rehabilitation, they won't make a penny extra from obtaining any extra courses. I feel bad for the ones that are really innocent and just were at the wrong place, wrong time though.

If the Government tried to help them get an education when they were young and poor; maybe they wouldn't be in prison. Until you walk in their shoes; please don't judge.Before you criticize a prisoner, research why they are in. Many are in because of simple, non-violent things. So I guess we should just send them all to hell. It hits many families. I hope you feel the same way when it hits yours.

Are you willing to go to prison for free college?

no, nor is it fair that some prisons have cable television, weight rooms, and who knows what else.

No I don't think that's fair, and I don't think that it's fair that illegal immigrants get free healthcare either!!!!!!!!!

It's totally stupid. Commit crimes and get rewarded. This country is so messed up.
