Hard time

Aww, we will no longer be allowed to pay for rapists and murderers to get philosophy degrees?

Indiana prisoners will no longer be able to earn a taxpayer-funded bachelor's degree or study liberal arts under a shift in state prison-education policy.

Instead, inmates wanting to take college classes could earn credits only toward a work-skills certificate such as welding or work toward a limited number of two-year associate degrees -- but only if those are limited in scope and related to a specific need by an Indiana employer.

Yeah, yeah, I know, mean-spirited, selfish bastard who doesn't care whether these guys make it on the outside or not. It's a burden I've learned to live with.
