Fact check: Prisoners also got relief checks from the pandemic bills Trump signed and Cotton voted for

[Penelope]

Washington (CNN)Arkansas Sen. Tom Cotton, a Republican, is attacking Democrats for passing a pandemic relief bill that will send money to prisoners.
"Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, the Boston Bomber, murdered three people and terrorized a city. He'll be getting a $1,400 stimulus check as part of the Democrats' 'COVID relief' bill," Cotton tweeted on Saturday to his approximately 142,000 followers. Cotton, who voted against the bill, posted a near-identical message on Facebook to his 308,000 followers there.
Cotton tweeted a similar message about Dylann Roof, the perpetrator of a 2015 massacre at a renowned Black church in Charleston, South Carolina. Cotton also asked on Twitter: "How will sending stimulus checks to murderers and rapists in prison help solve the pandemic?"

Facts First: Prisoners also received checks from both of the pandemic relief bills that then-President Donald Trump signed and Cotton voted for. Neither the bill Trump signed with Cotton's support in March nor the bill Trump signed with Cotton's support in December contained any language prohibiting prisoners from getting relief funding.

One hundred percent of any prisoner stimulus should go right to the prison to pay a portion of the cost to keep that inmate incarcerated. The mother and children are already getting stimulus of their own. Mexico has the right idea. Inmates get fed--period. Anything else they get is up to their families to provide.

I second this. Prison is supposed to be a punishment, not Buckingham Palace where anything and everything can be handed to a person on a silver platter.......on the other hand from what is being said in the news these days, Buckingham Palace isn't the place to be anymore either.

God bless you and Prince Harry and his family always!!!

Why because I don't necessarily want prisoners to receive stimulus checks do to we house them, and they receive medical and dental care.

I could be mistaken but I do not recall anyone condemning the fact that prisoners got checks under Trump. I don't recall a single post.

There have been quite a few lately.

Why is that?

Trump had no choice but to sign it, the Democrats would've impeached him if he didn't. He did try to fight against it, because of the pork. Also that was passed when we were on almost complete shutdown. We aren't now, well maybe in liberal run shitholes.

They had to COMPROMISE with House Demonrats. Sometimes, if you want to get hurting people money, you have to allow filthy Democrats to stuff the bill with unnecessary goodies for their special interest groups
