As Americans prepare to receive their third stimulus check, some people are asking, Are prisoners going to receive these checks, too?
Before President Joe Biden signed the $1.9 trillion coronavirus relief bill, also known as the American Rescue Plan Act, some members of congress raised concerns that people in jail who were convicted of murder and other crimes would receive the money as well as other Americans.
Sen. Tom Cotton recently tweeted, Senate Democrats just voted to give stimulus checks to criminals in prison. Cotton also said Boston bomber Dzohkar Tsarnaev and white supremacist and mass murderer Dylann Roof would receive these checks.
