Congress passes measure cutting off Pell Grants for sex offenders in treatment centers

MADISON, Wis. (AP) _ Some of the nation's worst sex offenders will no longer be eligible to receive generous educational financial aid packages while they are confined in treatment centers under a bill approved by Congress

.

In Wisconsin, some sex offenders at Sand Ridge Secure Treatment Center pocketed as much as $1,000 in leftover Pell Grant money to help with "living expenses" even though those were already paid for by the state. Others signed up for courses to receive aid and then dropped them.

I didn't know this was even going on, did you? At least, it isn't going to be happening any longer.
