My article in @ConversationUS raises awareness about the laws in 26 states that explicitly deny financial aid eligibility to incarcerated students or students w/ criminal convictions. It's been a missing piece of the #PellGrant for prisoners debate. 1/ theconversation.com/states-not-jus…
2/ This article comes from my recently-completed dissertation from @HALEatMSU on state financial aid for justice-involved students. In this thread, I am going to name all 26 states that deny aid to justice-involved students w/ links to statutes or regulations.
3/ I 100% support the restoration of #PellGrants to people in prison (& to civilly confined sex offenders & to all people with drug convictions). There is also an opportunity here for states to change their laws to allow people w/ criminal records to receive state financial aid.
