Yes - anyone with the time, money, and focused determination can obtain a degree (even while in prison at taxpayer expense). The better question is what can a convicted felon do with a degree of any kind?

I'm pretty sure they can work as counselor in the private sector - get their license etc. - but in the prison system they run background checks. It may depend on the felony. For example a DWI felony may not be looked at the same as a Burglary charge. Only way to really know is to contact the state prison system HR department and feel them out.

Yes, but you probably won't get financial aid unless you can get into a program that provides funds (like a grant that helps reformed prisoners go back to school).
Consider majoring in something you won't be banned from. For example, you can't get a job teaching children if you have a record.

Of course. Once a person is out of prison they have all the same opportunities as the rest of us.

yes as long as they have a change of heart because people can and do change so anything is possible. Tey can even get their masters.. in fact some of the famous and politically known people served time and they have their masters now and even higher than that.
