There should be no such immoral program as "pell grants" for anyone.
If obama cares so much for these folks, why doesn't he advocate for rescinding the war on drugs and revoking other onerous laws that made so many of them prisoners in the first place? All I see Obama doing here is taking money from one group and gifting it to another while basking in the glory of his redistribution scheme.
Too bad people continually buy into the nonsense

"The Obama administration will give pell grants to about 12,000 inmates in an effort to help them transition to life after prison--despite a law prohibiting inmates from receiving financial aid under the program.

It's a Pilot Program, some loophole used that will eventually be challenged, and this program will go away!!

Once they are released they are no longer inmates.

By all means, take the people who are in prison for theft, say, or drug dealing, and let them back out on the streets with no job, no ability to earn money! I wonder if they will go back to theft? Or dealing drugs?
Why would you be against former inmates being able to make it in normal society?
Part of the prison system is rehabilitation, it's not just punishment.
Also, please don't say murderers, rapists, child molesters will be getting these grants. You know that is not true.
There are over two million people currently incarcerated in the US; 12,000 of them may be eligible.

I used to job coach ex-offenders and I am not sure what you are referring to by that question. The program will be challenged and unfortunately it will go away. The right wingers are not happy with this rehabilitation plan!

Which question? The first one was sarcasm. The second one was an honest question.
Right-wingers remind me of food-aggressive dogs. Snapping and snarling over their food bowls and eyeing what the OTHER dog is getting, instead of being grateful for what they have.
