Yes, but with the latest proposal they caught the mistake and tried to correct it making prisoners ineligible. The democrats voted against that and as such the verbiage restricting inmates from being eligible was excluded, thereby keeping them eligible.
Every taxpayer or voter should be irritated by this feature of the stimulus checks. Anyone without income qualifies, even prisoners, no matter the crime or status. All they have to do is a file a tax return. I don’t qualify because I happened to have sold a house last year temporarily increasing my income, my adult daughter doesn’t qualify being slightly over the cutoff, my friend’s employed college student daughter doesn’t qualify because she’s claimed as a dependent on her parent’s return and they don’t qualify, but the guy who robbed my deceased neighbor’s house blind and then beat his elderly mother until she suffered a stroke who is now incarcerated, well he qualifies.
