Diane Downs is in prison for the murder of her daughter and the attempted murder of her other two children. Recently she earned her AA in General Studies. I am confused because she is in prison and should be entitled to nothing. My student debt is over $7000 right now and that is after I have been paying it down for 6 years. Who paid for her education? I am sure she is not the only one. So who pays?
The government and state. She is one of tens of thousands of criminals that benefit in some way for their crimes. Education, Therapy, Medical care, Housing. Some criminals live better than the working poor. That is wrong on so many levels. I just feel sick.
Why are prisoners entitled to any luxury? They deserve only the minimum to survive. Instead they have perks and earn special priveleges. They have cigarettes and drugs. They get internet access and cable TV. Some prisons are air conditioned and prisoners have access to state of the art gym equiptment. Why?
