Program to educate incarcerated people costs 40K per graduate?!
#4
This right here:

But half of the inmates who received four-year degrees have been sentenced to life behind bars and will never get out.

Why are taxpayers paying for degrees for people who will never leave a prison cell? Meanwhile people who haven't committed crimes are paying through the nose to get a college degree.


Wait a minute. It's $800K for 20 inmates PLUS the university gets their Pell Grants? Give me a break! 20 students for 6 sessions at UMPI a year is $168,000. Sounds like UMPI could cash in on inmates. WGU is around $160K a year for 20 people so they too could really cash in charging $800K plus the Pell Grants.

The seminary couldn't grant degrees, so it partnered with Calvin University. Anonymous donors along with federal Pell Grants fund the program, which costs $800,000 a year and enrolls 20 inmates annually.
