College Education in Prison

Check out this story from the NY Times about a program at Wesleyan that brings Wesleyan classes to prison inmates in Connecticut. In the article, there is a quote from the father of a girl whose murderer is incarcerated in the prison questioning the point of spending money to educate someone who has been sentenced to life in prison. That does seem like a rational viewpoint, but some part of me feels like everyone is entitled to an education.
What do you think?
