    Oh yea....Aren't you precluded from getting federal stafford loans and what not because of that? I thought any CDS conviction precluded you from stafford loans. Ya know I hate to go on a rant about our legal system, but seriously, if someone commits a felony and they are actually applying for a stafford loan to go back to school, they obviously are not of the criminal mindset anymore and are trying to better their lives. But of course, our system almost guarantees recidivism by ensuring that they have no legitimate opportunity to better their lives and are forced to turn back to crime as a way to support themselves.

    Excluding maybe a few very violent crimes, I dont believe a persons record should even be accessible by an employer. It's really of no relevance to how you will perform your job, the only time it would be warranted is if you committed a violent crime (murder,rape,assault, or robbery). It's total bullshit, and politicians wonder why the recidivism rate is 80%. The system is setup for failure, jails are big business, and there is a big bureaucracy with a big budget that wants to stay in business. Plain and simple...

    Yep you're actually right on point with the recidivism rates, its deplorable.
    That was one fact they always fed down our throats behind the wall as "motivation" but I can't understand how it wasn't more a standard of expectation to fvck up when we were released.

    About the loans all I know is I receive the stafford subsidized & unsubsidized loans, the NJ tag award, pel grant & one more grant.

    I'm not sure if it has anything to do with having a good GPA at Brookdale before I was sentenced. But I had no problems with the stafford loans.
