Dear Editor,

This letter is in response to the March 2, 2016 letter to the editor titled, “Criminals shouldn’t get a free ride.”

The most important point of clarity is that there is no free ride. Inmate students pay tuition and fees like any other student, and those who take advantage of the courses in correctional settings are among the most motivated students I have encountered.
